Netflix’s big-budget series The Sandman has revealed the cast! The new series is
confirmed to arrive at some point in the latter half of 2021. We have mentioned
the series in another article
[https://netflixjunkie.com/the-sandman-netflix-season-1-sneak-peek/], if you

WHAT IS THE SYNOPSIS OF ‘THE SANDMAN’?

“The Sandman” is a stark visual exploration of an uncanny world. Based on the
classic 19th-century tale by German writer/composer E.T.A. Hoffmann, the film
investigates the tale’s themes of obsession and madness, emphasizing
expressionist imagery and theatrical style. This story relates to the life of
the young student Nathanael, whose childhood memories are haunted by a sinister
old man.

As a child, Nathanael believed this dark figure to be the mythic Sandman, who
puts children to sleep by stealing their eyes. When confronted by this same evil
presence as an adult, he is pushed toward madness as he tries to confront his
childhood fears. Meanwhile, Nathanael finds distraction in a beautiful and
glassy-eyed woman named Olympia who he spies on from his window. After dancing
with her at a wild party he begins courting her, but his happiness is ill-fated.
Nathanael discovers that Olympia is an automaton – a machine made of wood and
clockwork – with her glassy eyes created by the terrible Sandman.”

At the DC Fandome [https://www.dcfandome.com/ww84v] event Neil Gaiman, the comic
book series writer of ‘The Sandman’, confirmed that the story won’t start in the
1980s instead it will start in the modern day for the Netflix series.
