I saw this coming a mile away!
The Sandman premiered on Netflix in August 2022. The series is an adaptation of NEIL GAIMAN’S classic comic book of the same name,
Per Variety, The Sandman has now been canceled at Netflix following sexual misconduct accusations against Gaiman.
“This marks Gaiman’s latest project to be impacted amid the allegations. He also departed Amazon’s upcoming final season of the Good Omens TV adaptation, and development paused on a movie based on his The Graveyard Book at Disney,” Deadline’s article notes. “Most recently, Gaiman was dropped by his longtime comic book publisher Dark Horse and had his Coraline musical scrapped.”
But The Sandman showrunner had this to say, adding another spin to what’s happening… Was Season 2 going to be the end anyway.
“The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream’s story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season,” Allen Heinberg, who serves as The Sandman’s showrunner, said. “We are extremely grateful to Netflix for bringing the team all back together and giving us the time and resources to make a faithful adaptation in a way that we hope will surprise and delight the comics’ loyal readers as well as fans of our show.”
That being said… Enjoy season two when it does drop on Netflix, no date announced as of yet, because that’s all you’re gonna get.
