Netflix’s The Sandman Season 2 Concludes with Bonus Episode July 31

Netflix's fantasy series The Sandman concluded with its second season and a surprise bonus episode titled "Death: The High Cost of Living," which was released on July 31, 2025. This final installment, starring Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, adapts a beloved 1990s Sandman comic and explores Death's rare day off among the living. The series finale featured significant plot developments, including Morpheus' infant son Orpheus transforming into a fully grown adult, setting him up to become the new Dream of the Endless. Showrunner Allan Heinberg confirmed that the story was always planned to span just two seasons, ending the saga definitively. The bonus episode was well received for its thoughtful reflection on life and death, bookending the series with a family dinner motif and reinforcing themes of appreciating life’s fleeting nature. Fans worldwide awaited the episode eagerly, with Netflix releasing the series in two parts earlier in July 2025 before this concluding chapter.
