The Sandman Season 2 Finale Crowns Daniel New Dream on Netflix

Netflix's The Sandman Season 2 concludes the saga with a faithful but occasionally divergent adaptation of Neil Gaiman's original comics, particularly the "Kindly Ones" storyline. Morpheus, portrayed by Tom Sturridge, faces the consequences of killing his son Orpheus, leading to his downfall at the hands of the Furies, also known as the Kindly Ones, and ultimately his death. His son Daniel, played by Jacob Anderson, succeeds him as the new Dream of the Endless, preserving Morpheus' realm and legacy. The show introduces new characters and explores the Endless family dynamics, including the transformation of Delight into Delirium and the reclusive Destruction, adding depth beyond the source material. The finale includes poignant moments such as a post-credits scene where the Fates recite cryptic poetry underscoring themes of destiny, death, and rebirth. Additionally, there are notable changes like the romantic involvement of Joanna Constantine and The Corinthian, which were not present in the original comics, highlighting the show's creative liberties.
