It’s wild days at Netflix. A fantasy series is canceled, another continues. Sandman fans had to wait months for the redeeming news, but now it’s clear: Sandman officially moves on, reports among others the Hollywood Reporter . Although the dark comic adaptation was received very positively by fans and critics alike, the streaming service had long avoided positioning itself for the future.
Sandman Extended: What creator Neil Gaiman says about the new episodes
It is noteworthy that Netflix avoids the term “Season 2” in the announcement. We are talking about “new episodes and stories”. Creator Neil Gaiman was a bit overzealous at first, announcing the renewal on his Twitter account. He had to delete the tweet. His statement was then formally released. Here is an excerpt:
Fantastic tales await for Morpheus and everyone else (not to mention other members of the Endless Family to meet). Nobody is happier about this than the Sandman cast and crew, they are the biggest Sandman fans out there.

What is Sandman on Netflix about?
Morhpeus or Dream (Tom Sturridge) is one of the Eternals and brother of Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), Destiny, Despair (Donna Preston), Destruction, Desire (Mason Alexander Park) and Delirium is the ruler of sleep and dreams. In the failed summoning of an occult sorcerer, Morpheus is summoned instead of his sister, captured and stripped of his paraphernalia of power.
Fearing for his own safety, the magician locks him in a glass cage for several decades. But even when the Sandman regains his freedom after 105 years, his kingdom is not yet back in his hands. He must now go in search of the lost objects of his strength. But even without his regalia, Morpheus is not entirely without power, for the influence of dreams is not one that humans should underestimate.
When are the new episodes of the fantasy series coming and what else is known?
There is no start date yet. In the worst case, the waiting time could increase to two years, which is how long the big fantasy series Rings of Power and House of the Dragon need for their second seasons. Depending on the scope of the new episodes, it could also go faster.
