When Netflix revealed that it was planning to come forth with an adaptation of DC Comics’ The Sandman, people were excited. While many were elated, there were some who had doubts about the project. But the series, which aired in 2022, proved them all wrong. It was a critical success, managing to bring to life a host of the fabled Endless on screen. And the new season will witness the introduction of 3 new members of the Endless.

Created by Neil Gaiman, the Endless are considered one of the oldest entities in DC Comics, predating even fairies, gods, and other supernatural entities. With each Endless being in-charge of a specific domain, and with each having sovereignty in their domain, they are characters who can hold their own.

Season 2 of The Sandman has cast three new siblings of The Endless family: Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester and Barry Sloane.
Netflix’s The Sandman is getting ready for season 2 as the streamer announces new additions to the series’ cast.
Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester and Barry Sloane have been cast in the series as Delirium, Destiny and The Prodigal respectively. These are the three remaining siblings of the Endless family.
Season 2 was announced first in November 2022 but the production itself was severely delayed by the Hollywood strikes in 2023. It looks like things are back on track as a new, very short teaser has been released.

Wake up, fans of “The Sandman,” we’ve got some Season 2 news for you: The Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s epic graphic novel series has cast the final three siblings in the “Endless Family” of Tom Sturridge’s Dream — Esmé Creed-Miles as Delirium, Adrian Lester as Destiny and Barry Sloane as “The Prodigal.”
In “The Sandman” comic book series, The Prodigal is the estranged Endless sibling named Destruction, but Netflix has taken care to label Sloane’s role as “The Prodigal,” which is the way the character is referred to throughout the first volumes of the story. The three new castings point to “The Sandman” Season 2 covering the graphic novel’s iconic installment, “Season of Mists.”
The trio of new “The Sandman” Season 2 actors will join the Endless siblings returning from Season 1: Death (Kirby), Desire (Mason Alexander Park), Despair (Donna Preston) and Dream, The Sandman himself.
Per the Season 1 description for the series,...

Dead Boy Detectives was initially developed for television by HBO Max in 2021. After a long and winding road of purgatory, the series eventually is reaching Netflix in early 2023. (Please note that this has nothing to do with Netflix licensing Max properties as of late.) The adaptation of DC Comics has a cult following that can tap into every popular young demographic.
Now, every comic book property will continuously develop in the ever-competitive streaming landscape. This makes it more surprising how ordinary, at times, Dead Boy Detectives can be, considering Netflix’s binge model. Dead Boy Detectives is like a purgatory Hardy Boys procedural, with the boys trying to solve a new case weekly.
However, as the series progresses, you see its overall potential. You hope the streaming giant will allow Dead Boy Detectives to achieve that potential.

What does it take for a movie adaptation to transcend its source material? Many a filmmaker uses a book as a blueprint (whether or not they read it in its entirety) but take creative license to put their own unique stylistic and/or thematic spin on what is necessarily a much more visual story than the original one on the page. Often that’s taking a key character—whether a comic book antihero or an unnamed book protagonist—and giving them an entirely new backstory or quest. Or choosing a different point of view that opens up new storytelling avenues. In some cases, book and movie follow the same premise but diverge wildly at the end… or they do reach the same narrative conclusion, but on radically different paths that will leave you with very different emotional reactions as a viewer.

Prime Video’s new thriller series Wilderness is already making a splash by having a truly great bop as its theme tune in Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What You Made Me Do’, but there’s much more to enjoy here than that. The raunchy show follows a young writer called Liv, whose dream life with her handsome and wealthy husband falls apart when they move stateside and she catches him cheating on her. Their “make or break” dream holiday is set to crumble into a nightmare, albeit a scenic one, when Liv sets out to get her revenge.
The cast of Wilderness may be small, but it’s stacked with notable actors, some of whom might seem very familiar to you. If you can’t remember where you’ve seen them before, or just want to know more about them, we’re here to help!

We learned last year that Warner Bros. was developing a long-belated sequel to Constantine, but that was a very different time. Since then, James Gunn and Peter Safran have taken over DC Studios, which has led to the cancellation of a handful of projects that don’t fit into the new universe. Rumours began circulating last week that Constantine 2 had suffered a similar fate, but thankfully that’s not the case.
A Warner Bros. spokesperson reached out to Entertainment Weekly to confirm that Constantine 2 has not been scrapped. That said, little has been heard about the Constantine sequel, but as the new DC Universe slate includes a Swamp Thing movie, it stands to reason that James Gunn isn’t avoiding the darker aspects of the franchise.

If you follow Neil Gaiman on Twitter you know he's been having a lot of fun lately casually dunking on bigoted trolls. Over the past few months, he's shown very little patience to Twitter users popping up in his mentions complaining about the "wokeness" of "The Sandman" season 1. In a recent interview with Inverse, he's made it clear that he doesn't consider these people to be real fans of the source material at all.
For example, there's the controversy around the casting of Death. In the comics, she's mostly (but not always) portrayed as a white woman, but the Netflix show cast Black actress Kirby Howell-Baptiste as the character. "Death's casting wasn't controversial with Sandman fans," Gaiman explained, "because Sandman fans know that the Endless are supposed to look like what the people looking at them think they look like."

When speaking to director Francis Lawrence about his new Netflix movie “Slumberland” (streaming later this week), we had to ask him about his plans for “Constantine 2,” which was recently announced as officially happening. This new “Constantine” sequel, which will reunite him with original star Keanu Reeves and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, will be different in at least one key aspect, at least if Lawrence has his way. Get ready for a hard-r “Constantine.”
While Lawrence said that he didn’t think “Constantine 2” would be his next project (the director also just finished shooting the “Hunger Games” prequel “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”), “All I know is that Keanu and Akiva and I have been wanting to do it forever.” He said that “all of that craziness with DC” has actually subsided, letting them reclaim the character. “We finally have been sort of given the permission...

After rumours began to spread that Netflix had cancelled The Sandman, forcing Neil Gaiman himself to call them out, Deadline reports that the streaming service has actually renewed the series for season 2
The renewal of The Sandman was accidentally leaked earlier today on DC Comics’ official Twitter page. “The dream continues,” read the since-deleted tweet. “[The Sandman] will return with new episodes based on multiple volumes of the Neil Gaiman graphic novel to explore even more stories of the Endless.” Although The Sandman received rave reviews upon its debut on August 5th, it wasn’t immediately clear whether Netflix would renew the series. Neil Gaiman had said that the future of the series was uncertain, so I’m sure fans are more than a little pleased to know that The Sandman has indeed been renewed for season 2.

Netflix’s long-awaited The Sandman — based on Neil Gaiman’s much-loved comic series — proved to be something of a hit for the streamer, amassing a billion minutes of viewing and storming to the top of its own charts just three days after its release back in August. The series also managed to charm both critics and fans, praised for its lavish fantasy world and the emotional depth of it characters.
A significant amount of the noise has centered on Johanna Constantine, the occult detective with a penchant for exorcisms. Jenna Coleman plays two iterations of the character: one based in the modern day (effectively a gender-flipper version of DC superhero John Constantine), the other her identical 18th-century ancestor. Although Johanna only appeared in a few episodes, it wasn’t long before there were calls for her to be given her own spinoff series.

It sure seems that people like The Sandman. The long-in-development adaptation of the influential DC Comics series finally came to Netflix on Aug. 5, and almost immediately gained a following. Fans took to Tom Sturridge’s complex portrayal of Dream aka Morpheus, the Lord of the Dreaming. Over the initial 10 episodes, fans tuned in to watch Morpheus gain his items back from the troubled John Dee (David Thewlis), capture the rogue nightmare the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook), and contend with guest stars such as Gwendoline Christie’s Lucifer and Jenna Coleman’s Johanna Constantine. So popular was the show that Netflix even dropped a surprise bonus episode, which adapted fan-favorite stories “Dream of a Thousand Cats” and “Calliope.”

If you're a fan of DC Comics' John Constantine, your options for TV shows and movies featuring the character could be worse. The "Hellblazer" comics have been adapted more times than the average viewer might think. Leading the charge was the 2005 horror action film "Constantine" with Keanu Reeves, which reimagines the British occult detective as an American private investigator and exorcism specialist living in Los Angeles.
Since then, we have gotten NBC's 2014 "Constantine" TV series, which received a respectable critical response and does have its fans despite being canceled after one season, as well as multiple DC Animated Universe films starring Constantine. Most recently, a new interpretation of the character appeared as Johanna Constantine in Netflix's "The Sandman," which adapts John Constantine's multi-issue cameo appearance in Neil Gaiman's early issues of the comics into a character that fits better into the narrative of the show. Accounting for "Lucifer" and "Preacher,...

Update: Now that Keanu Reeves is returning for the Constantine sequel, you might be wondering where that leaves the Constantine TV series which was being developed by J.J. Abrams for HBO Max. It seems that the streamer has decided to pass on the project, as well as the Madame X series from Abrams and Angela Robinson. Neither project is completely dead as both will be shopped to other platforms, with Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television expecting them to find new homes.

Despite the impressive viewership numbers, it's still not clear if "The Sandman" will get a second season. If it does, it's also not clear how much of the Neil Gaiman comics they'll be adapting. Based off of season 1, the most likely route they'll take is covering "Season of Mists" in the first half of season 2, then "A Game of You" in the second half, with maybe an episode or two in the middle covering some one-off adventures from "Dream Country" and "Fables & Reflections."
When asked if he would consider writing an original story for the show, Gaiman responded, "Yes," but followed it up with the caveat that he's painfully aware of how much material the show needs to get through. "We have 2,600 pages to go," he said, mentioning that in addition to the original 10 volumes of the series, he hopes to adapt the extra volumes "Overture," "Dream Hunters" and "Endless Nights.

With Netflix’s The Sandman hitting the streaming service, fans can take a trip in the mystical and often surreal world of dreams. Comic fans have long heralded Neil Gaiman’s story arc as one of the greatest stories told not just in graphic novels but in all literature. His run of comics is often discussed in the same reverence as such titles as Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns.
Fans were wondering if it would ever get turned into a live-action project that would be treated with the respect and budget it deserved. Netflix was happy to step up to the plate and make it happen. The ten-episode series has captured fans’ imaginations, and they are eager to hear about a second season. The whole series is filled with all sorts of Sandman easter eggs for comics fans and references you may not be expecting.

The dog days of summer are upon us, where it’s impossible to do much besides crank the air condition and plop down on the couch.
This is actually an okay option, especially considering how great the lineup of new movies is on Netflix. While there aren’t any truly terrific Netflix original movies this month (although Jamie Foxx’s vampire-hunting buddy comedy “Day Shift” almost made the list), there is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to new library titles on the streaming service.
In August there’s something for everyone on Netflix, from Keanu Reeves as a paranormal detective (“Constantine”) to a controversial Tom Cruise classic (“Eyes Wide Shut”) to a 1980s favorite that only gets better with age (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”). Plus so much!

The Netflix adaptation of The Sandman has been long anticipated both by early fans of the DC comic and by those who have come to enjoy the many wonderful Neil Gaiman televised offerings, from Good Omens to American Gods. But even with the inherent appeal of the classic comic and its creator, there’s something thrilling about recognizing an actor that’s been cast in a key role from other work that they’ve done, especially if it happens to be genre fare that makes them seem particularly suited for their part.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Lost Hearts” the Season 1 finale episode of “The Sandman.”
Netflix’s 10-episode first season of “The Sandman” opened up a world of dreams and nightmares Friday for both viewers familiar with Neil Gaiman’s iconic DC comic book series and those who had never before entered The Dreaming.
Following the journey of Morpheus, The Lord of Dreams (played by Tom Sturridge), as written in the first two installments of Gaiman’s “Sandman” comics, Season 1 of “The Sandman” TV show covered a lot of ground originally laid by Gaiman in the late ’80s and early ’90s. But there are still eight more volumes in the main “Sandman” comics series left to be adapted. And that’s still not even the whole story.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Netflix’s “The Sandman,” Episode 4 “A Hope in Hell”
Throughout much of Netflix’s series adaptation of “The Sandman,” the show argues that nightmares, and the fear and immorality that haunt them, are more common and representative of humanity than anything else. Yet in the show’s fourth episode, “A Hope in Hell,” a counterargument that encapsulates “Sandman’s” central theme is delivered in ambitiously creative fashion.
Our hero Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) is locked into an epic metaphysical and idealogical duel with Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie), where each one takes on a new form be it beast, man (hunter), biological killers (bacterium), or even celestial powers (life-nurturing worlds and planet-killing novas).
But with Morpheus on the verge of losing this fight, his raven Matthew (Patton Oswalt) bluntly tells him that “Dreams don’t f—ing die, not if you believe in them.” This inspires our...

Netflix’s “The Sandman,” based on the Neil Gaiman created comic book series of the same name, loves to remix mythology and that means introducing characters audiences may already be familiar with such as Lucifer Morningstar (Gwendoline Christie), Death (Kirby Howell-Baptise) and comics character Johanna Constantine (Jenna Coleman).
Lucifer obviously traces its origins back to religion and has been depicted across art for centuries before the advent of Hollywood entertainment.. The personification of Death has been a favorite focus of storytellers for eons, with countless shows and movies picking up the mantle over the years. And Johanna Constantine is both a relative and reinterpretation of DC Comics character John Constantine, who has been a popular staple of the superhero universe since his introduction in 1985.
So how do these actors attempt to put a fresh spin on such well-worn characters in “The Sandman?” We asked them.

After years of development, “The Sandman” has arrived. Neil Gaiman’s beloved graphic novel series now exists as a Netflix series, with Gaiman serving as co-creator and executive producer on the show. Many fans weren’t sure if this day would ever come given how difficult Gaiman’s books are to adapt, with “The Sandman” at one point planned as a movie to be directed by and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Tom Sturridge fills the titular role in this iteration of the story, which finds Dream imprisoned for a century and busting out to find his kingdom in ruins. He then sets out on a journey that puts him in contact with friends and foes alike, learning to better understand humanity in the process.

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses a few plot developments in “The Sandman,” currently streaming on Netflix.
When viewers watch the ending credits for Netflix’s new series “The Sandman” — the long-anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed graphic novel series chronicling the phantasmagoric exploits of Morpheus, aka Dream, aka the Sandman (Tom Sturridge) — they’ll behold the curious sight of the logo for DC Entertainment. Indeed, “The Sandman” was published by Vertigo, an imprint of DC Comics, from 1989 to 1996, and in the first two volumes, which make up Season 1 of the Netflix series, there are several direct references to and characters from the wider world of DC Comics.
Much of those connections and references, however, have either been significantly altered or stripped away entirely from the live-action adaptation of “The Sandman.” For example, in the graphic novel, the villain John Dee (David Thewlis) is living within Arkham Asylum, Gotham City...

At one point in The Sandman, a 400-year-old Englishman (Ferdinand Kingsley) casually eviscerates a recent production of King Lear. “The idiots had given it a happy ending,” he scoffs. His conversation partner, Dream (Tom Sturridge) — as in, the physical manifestation of the concept of dreaming, and ruler of the impossible realm we travel to when we drift off to sleep — is less bothered. “That will not last,” he predicts sagely. “The great stories will always return to their original forms.”
The Sandman will require no such dramatic reversion to form. Executive produced by the comics’ creator, Neil Gaiman (alongside Allan Heinberg and David S. Goyer), the fantasy drama is nothing if not respectful of its source material. What the exchange about King Lear misses, however, is the way updated versions of great stories can be what keep them feeling fresh and relevant in the first place.

After all, Coleman brought to life one of the most beloved characters in Doctor Who history, the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors’ trusty companion Clara Oswald. Coleman’s run as a companion is one of the longest ever, debuting in 2012’s “Asylum of the Daleks” and making her final appearance in 2017’s “Twice Upon a Time” (although she made her official exit from the Tardis in 2015’s “Hell Bent”).
Since escaping Gallifrey, Coleman’s taken on a few other big roles, including that of Queen Victoria herself in three series of the British historical drama Victoria, and her upcoming work on Netflix’s The Sandman represents her biggest challenge yet.

Many have tried to film Neil Gaiman’s 1989–96 dark fantasy comic book series set in a universe where mythology, gods and nightmares collide. Now, finally, comes a lavish and surreal adaptation. Here are some key players of Netflix’s The Sandman. Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) Also known as Dream, he rules everything outside of reality and is one of seven powerful beings called the Endless. In the opener, he’s been imprisoned by an occultist (Charles Dance) for 100 years—but not for much longer. Lucifer Morningstar (Gwendoline Christie) Inspiration for Tom Ellis’ devilish role in Lucifer, this fallen angel oversees Hell. In the hands of Christie (Game of Thrones), however, she looks more chilling than cheeky. Johanna Constantine (Jenna Coleman) An ancestor of exorcist John Constantine, Johanna is an occult detective who mysteriously factors into different time periods. Mervyn Pumpkinhead (Mark Hamill) The Star Wars icon voices the gourd-headed janitor, while Patton Oswalt (A.

In its original 75-issue run from 1989-1996, the DC Comics series The Sandman weaved a massive story about the return and downfall of Morpheus the Dream Lord. Written by Neil Gaiman, with pencils by legends such as Charles Vess and Sam Keith, The Sandman often functioned like an anthology series, focusing on the various characters who interacted with Dream and his family, whether they be a house cat who remembers a world of rodent-sized humans or William Shakespeare himself.
The upcoming Netflix series — developed by Gaiman, Batman Begins screenwriter David S. Goyer, and Young Avengers creator Allan Heinberg — seems to follow the same approach. As confirmed at the Sdcc Sandman panel, each of the 10 episodes in season one will tell a different story from the Sandman universe.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. As part of its presence at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, Netflix unveiled an epic trailer befitting its upcoming series, The Sandman (premiering August 5). The streaming service also released the official key art, with The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge) at the center, surrounded by the rest of the characters, urging you to “Enter the kingdom of dream.” Netflix “Your waking world is shaped by dreams, dreams and nightmares that I create and which I must control,” The Sandman says. He turns to Johanna Constantine (Jenna Coleman), a necromancer and successful occult adventuress, for help. “If dreams disappear, then so will humanity,” he says. But as she sees it, “we could do without dreams for a while. I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in ages.” The Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook), an escaped nightmare who wishes to taste all that the world has in store,...

“The Sandman” is almost here to wake you up. Netflix released a new trailer for the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s iconic graphic novel series during the show’s Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con Saturday.
In the video, which comes just under two weeks out from the series’ Aug. 5 premiere, Tom Sturridge’s Sandman, who more commonly goes by Dream, is facing some true walking nightmares while sorting through the chaos brought on the world by the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook) and Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie). The former is a monstrous being that looks like a man with no eyes, a creature of Dream’s own making, that is wandering the waking world terrorizing it. The latter is, of course, the devil itself. They are just two of many obstacles Dream has to overcome in an attempt to restore order to the universe — both the dreaming and awakened versions.
