This is the primary official data we have acquired about The Sandman 2 since final September.
During Netflix Geeked Week 2024, the streaming titan revealed a dreamy behind-the-scenes have a look at season 2, which revealed a 2025 launch window. Prior to that, Netflix confirmed who would play Destiny, Delirium, and The Prodigal in season 2 final May, earlier than asserting 9 new solid additions for The Sandman‘s ultimate season in July 2024.
Why is The Sandman ending after two seasons?
Netflix hasn’t supplied an official assertion about ending The Sandman after two seasons. With a lot supply materials left to adapt, basic audiences is perhaps bemused by the very best streaming service’s choice to take action.
Anyone who’s stored up with the information over the past 12 months, nonetheless, can have an thought about why the excessive fantasy sequence is prematurely ending – and it is all to do with Gaiman.
In July 2024, the award-winning author was accused of sexual assault and abuse by 5 girls on a Tortoise Media podcast referred to as ‘Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman’. Since then, extra allegations, a few of which date again to 1986, have come to gentle about Gaiman’s conduct and embrace his alleged involvement in human trafficking. As of February 2025, three federal lawsuits have been introduced towards the writer, too.
Gaiman has strenuously denied the entire accusations made towards him. Nonetheless, live-action variations of his works have been impacted since he was accused of the aforementioned crimes. That contains the third season of Good Omens, the favored Prime Video TV present, which Gaiman is now not concerned in and has since been changed into a 90-minute film.
As I wrote earlier, it is unclear if Netflix is bringing its retelling of The Sandman to an finish due to what’s been outlined above. One factor is for certain, although: The Sandman will not get one other outing on Netflix.
