The Sandman Season 2 Is Even More Ambitious
The Sandmanseason 1dazzled audiences with its bold and sumptuous adaptation of the first two “Sandman” comics volumes, “Preludes and Noctures,” and “The Doll’s House,”, andThe Sandmanseason 2 looks to be even more ambitious.Season 2 will depict some of the most monumentalSandmantales, like the beloved “Season of Mists” where Dream becomes the Ruler of Hell, “Brief Lives,” which involves Dream and Delirium searching for their prodigal brother, Destruction, and “The Kindly Ones,” where Dream of the Endless meets his end.
“Death: The High Cost of Living” being adapted as a special bonus episode ofThe Sandmanseason 2 is extra exciting, as the graphic novel is one of the most popular of “The Sandman” comics saga. WhileThe Sandmanmay be concluding with season 2, there could still be offshots produced about other stories and characters set inThe Sandmanuniverse, like Netflix’sDead Boy Detectives.The Sandmanseason 2 should be just as much of a dream come true for fans as season 1 was.
