WHAT ARE THE TWO EPISODES ABOUT?

The two-part bonus episode of The Sandman
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman/] is based on two short stories – A
Dream of a Thousand Cats and Calliope. Gaiman authored both short stories and is
extremely beloved in the comic book universe. The narrative in the bonus episode
doesn’t follow the main story, but Dream remains the titular character even in
the bonus episode. Director Hisko Hulsing and Louise Hopper, who collaborated on
the series’ final episode, directed the two-part bonus episode.

A Dream of Thousand Cats tells the story of a cat who becomes disillusioned
after witnessing a brutal murder. She then embarks on a journey with Dream

It’s to be an animation with Hisko Hulsing at the helm. The voice cast includes
big names – Sandra Oh, Rosie Day, David Gyasi, James McAvoy, David Tennant,
Michael Sheen, and Tom Wu. The second part of the bonus episode is a tale about
a writer who is experiencing writer’s block after delivering a best-selling
novel. In a desperate attempt, he cuts a deal with an entity to find the spark
to write again. Louise Hopper is directing Calliope, which stars Melissanthi
Mahut, Arthur Darvill, Amita Suman, Kevin Harvey, And Derek Jacobi. 

Although Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/categories/news]hasn’t officially
renewed the show, the bonus episode is a treat! It’s already streaming
