Netflix Sets Final Sandman Season, Bonus Episode

Netflix's 'The Sandman' will end with its second and final season, premiering in two volumes on July 3 and July 24, with a concluding bonus episode focused on Death airing July 31. The season adapts major comic arcs such as 'Season of Mists,' 'Brief Lives,' 'The Kindly Ones,' as well as one-shots like 'The Song of Orpheus' and 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream.' The narrative follows Dream as he faces gods, monsters, and his past actions in a quest for forgiveness that could cost him everything. Despite sexual misconduct allegations against creator Neil Gaiman, Netflix and the showrunners state that the decision to conclude the series and its production schedule were unaffected. The cast features Tom Sturridge as Dream, Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, and other returning stars. The season aims to deliver an epic and emotional finale, providing closure to the story and its audience.
