What is The Sandman about?

We received a first look at the character created by Neil Gaiman on 25th September 2021. Ever since, fans have been anticipating for the show to drop on the platform but the streamer hasn’t announced any official release date yet. 

In 1916, a group of occultists cast a spell to capture Death. But due to a mistake in their spell, all they get is Death’s sibling Dream, also known as Morpheus and The Sandman. He lived imprisoned for decades until one day he escapes. On his journey to retrieve powerful objects that the oculists stole from him, he meets Cain and Abel, The Devil, Despair, Desire, Destiny, and Death.

The big-budget series has cast Tom Sturridge in the lead role. He rules over the Empire of Dreaming. Joining the cast with him is Gwendoline Christie who will play Lucifer. Although it’s the same Lucifer from Netflix’s Lucifer, it’s fruitless to hope for any crossover. Since two different actors are portraying Lucifer.

How many episodes are there?

According to reports, Netflix plans to adapt the first two volumes of the series – Preludes and Nocturnes and The Doll’s House. The first season will have 11 episodes, which will have a runtime of around 60 minutes. Jamie Child, Andrez Baiz, and Coralie Fargeat are the directors helming different episodes of the series.
