The Sandman Season 2 Video Gives Glimpses of Dream’s Family Dinner, a Deity Banquet and More
“Everywhere you look, something interesting and horrible is happening,” The Sandman showrunner Allan Heinberg says in a new behind-the-scenes look at the Netflix fantasy series’ Season 2, released as part of the streamer’s Geeked Week celebration Thursday.
He’s describing a specific event — a banquet Tom Sturridge’s Dream throws for a bunch of deities — but the executive producer could just as easily be talking about all the eerie visuals and incredibly intricate sets awaiting fans of Neil Gaiman’s comic adaptation.

The Sandman follows Sturridge’s Morpheus, lord of a mystical realm known as The Dreaming, who is the keeper of all of humanity’s dreams (and nightmares). He and his siblings — Death, Desire, Despair, etc. — are collectively known as The Endless: embodiments of the concepts they represent. In addition to Sturridge, the show’s returning cast includes Gwendoline Christie, Kirby, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Jenna Coleman, Steven Fry, Vanesu Samunyai, Ferdinand Kingsley, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Razane Jammal.
Season 2’s many additions include the actors playing Dream’s heretofore unseen siblings Delirium (who will be played by Hanna‘s Esme Creed-Miles), Destiny (Primary Colors‘ Adrian Lester) and The Prodigal (Revenge‘s Barry Sloane).
The Sandman will return for Season 2 sometime in 2025.
