As a lifelong aficionado of the fantastical and the supernatural, I must admit that the latest news about The Sandman has left me both thrilled and somewhat disheartened. On one hand, the prospect of delving deeper into the enigmatic world of Neil Gaiman’s creation, with its intricate tapestry of mythology, is beyond exhilarating. The introduction of the Norse gods, particularly Thor, Loki, and Odin, promises to add a fresh layer of complexity to this already rich narrative.
In Season 2 of The Sandman, we get a sneak peek at some new characters joining the highly anticipated return of the show, including a few potent Norse gods. Based on the acclaimed comic book series by Neil Gaiman, The Sandman revolves around Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge), who is trying to restore balance in The Dreaming and the world after being held captive for a hundred years. Alongside him, sometimes working with him and other times against him, are the other members of the endless: Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), Desire (Mason Alexander Park), Despair (Donna Preston), and three more enigmatic siblings. Though the endless are the most powerful entities in existence, they will encounter some formidable gods in the forthcoming season.
In the second installment of “The Sandman,” the narrative will follow the “Season of Mists” storyline, where Lucifer (portrayed by Gwendoline Christie) departs from Hell, passing on the reigns to Dream. With a hunger for power, various gods and entities vie for control over Hell. Joining the fray are the Norse deities Thor (interpreted by Laurence O’Fuarain), Loki (portrayed by Freddie Fox), and Odin (played by Clive Russell). These three characters will make their debut in Season 2, and they are expected to play significant roles throughout future seasons (as long as Netflix doesn’t prematurely terminate the show). You can find some exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from The Sandman Season 2 below.
Besides this, the short clip further introduces Dream’s three other alliterative siblings: Adrian Lester takes on Destiny, Esme Creed-Miles embodies Delirium, and Barry Sloane steps into the role of the enigmatic Prodigal, who was last seen in Season 1. The short video hints at a highly charged dinner gathering among the Endless, which would be their first reunion in over a century.
The Gaiman-Verse Is Halting Production
In the special feature, Neil Gaiman is neither featured nor discussed. Given the recent allegations of sexual misconduct, it seems Netflix might be trying to separate The Sandman from its creator to keep the series going. Over the past month, fans of Gaiman’s books have been disheartened as various adaptations of his work have faced delays or even cancellations.
The production of Season 3 for Amazon Prime Video’s “Good Omens” has been put on hold indefinitely while everyone waits for a decision regarding the ongoing allegations. In Season 1, the entire novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett was brought to life, and surprisingly, Gaiman penned an original script for Season 2. However, before he could finish writing, production was halted. Since “Good Omens” is a deeply personal project for Gaiman, given its connection to the late Terry Pratchett, there were initial concerns that Amazon wouldn’t be able to continue without Gaiman. Recently, though, Gaiman has expressed his willingness to step away from the show so that production can resume.
Lately, the production of Disney’s first film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s children’s book, The Graveyard Book, has been put on hold as well. Originally, Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace) was set to direct this movie. However, it’s reported that Gaiman had no hand in the adaptation. Yet, since the project is closely linked to the author, Disney has decided to err on the side of caution by halting the film production.
