Netflix’s fantasy drama titled ‘The Sandman’ season 2, released in 2022, was a hit show of that year and was soon greenlighted for another season.
The 10-episode fantasy drama tells the story of Morpheus–the personification of dreams and one of The Seven Endless– who is captured in a 1916 occult ritual. After being held captive for 106 years, Dream escapes and sets out to restore order to The Dreaming realm.
The series stars Tom Sturridge as Morpheus, alongside Boyd Holbrook, Vivienne Acheampong, and Patton Oswalt in supporting roles.
The popular Netflix fantasy series’ next installment is back in full flow after the 2023 writers and actors strikes, which is a pleasing development after a nightmarish year for everyone in the entertainment business. Here’s everything we have found out about season 2:
Netflix still hasn’t committed to a release schedule for The Sandman going forward. In an interview with Variety Netflix’s head of U.S. and Canada scripted TV Peter Friedlander said Netflix is still considering how to batch episodes of the streaming TV show. “Everything’s on the table when it comes to ‘Sandman.’
Actor Mason Alexander Park recently confirmed in an interview at Fan Expo San Francisco that Netflix is definitely not referring to the next batch of episodes as “Season 2.” This adds weight to the growing theory that Netflix will transition to a five to six-episode “Volume” style release schedule going forward.
A report from Redanian Intelligence seemingly confirms this theory. This reported rumor states that Netflix will film one block of episodes from June 2023 to October 2023 and then a second block of episodes from January 2024 to April 2024. That would reasonably give Netflix enough time to have a batch of episodes ready for August 2024, which we had been expecting to be Netflix’s targeted release date given it’d be exactly two years after season 1 hit Netflix.
