Neil Gaiman Gives The Sandman Season 2 Update

It has already been over five months since Netflix officially announced The Sandman series’ Season 2 renewal, and now, series creator Neil Gaiman has finally revealed an update about the current pre-production progress of the upcoming second season.

In response to a fan’s question about the next installment on Tumblr, Gaiman confirmed that the scripts for The Sandman Season 2 have already been written. He also shared that they’re currently in the middle of casting for the first episode, while production designers are working on the set designs. Fans should expect to see more of Dream’s other siblings, including the fan-favorite Delirium.

The Sandman stars Tom Sturridge (Sweetbitter) as Dream, Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) as Lucifer, Vivienne Acheampong (The Witches) as Lucienne, Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Killing Eve, Cruella) as Death, Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille) as Matthew the Raven, Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) as Johanna Constantine, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, Donna Preston as Despair, Razane Jammal as Lyta Hall, Kyo Ra as Rose Walker, and Sandra James Young as Unity Kincaid.

The live-action series is written by Gaiman (American Gods) and Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman, Grey’s Anatomy), who is set as showrunner. David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, Foundation) is executive producing the drama from Warner Bros. Television.

Sandman, which launched DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint, ran for 75 issues beginning in 1989. Gaiman’s worlds-within-worlds weaved an episodic anthology, focusing on the allegorical character of Dream and his brothers and sisters, known as the Endless (Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction, and Destiny).
