“The Sandman” will come to its “thrilling conclusion” this summer on Netflix with a two-part drop for its second and final season, the streamer revealed Thursday.
Netflix has decided to split Season 2 into two volumes, the first consisting of six episodes launching on July 3, and the second being five episodes releasing on July 24.
Along with the premiere date announcement, Netflix unveiled the first teaser trailer for “The Sandman” final season, which teases a big reunion for Dream (Tom Sturridge) and his family of Endless siblings. The teaser can be seen below.
As Variety previously reported, Netflix and “The Sandman” showrunner Allan Heinberg had plotted the second season to be the final since before it was filmed in the summer of 2023. However, the streamer did not confirm the end of the show until January of this year, which coincided with the timing of sexual misconduct accusations leveled against “The Sandman” graphic novel author and series executive producer Neil Gaiman.
Per the description for the second and final chapter of “The Sandman,” “After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of ‘The Sandman’ will tell Dream’s story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.”
“The Sandman” Season 2 stars Sturridge along with: Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester, Barry Sloane, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Ferdinand Kingsley, Stephen Fry, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Razane Jammal, Ruairi O’Connor, Freddie Fox, Clive Russell, Laurence O’Fuarain, Ann Skelly, Douglas Booth, Jack Gleeson, Indya Moore and Steve Coogan.
As mentioned above, Heinberg serves as showrunner and executive produces the series alongside David S. Goyer and Gaiman. Jamie Childs directed all Season 2 episodes. Produced by Warner Bros. Television for Netflix, “The Sandman” is based on the DC Comic series of the same name by Gaiman, Sam Keith and Mike Dringenberg.
