While we don’t have a traditional trailer for The Sandman season 2 just yet, Netflix did share an in-depth look at the upcoming season during Geeked Week with a three-minute long behind-the-scenes teaser.
In the clip above we get small glimpses at the visuals in season 2, with an army on fire in one shot and an elaborate family dinner in another. The video also explains how The Sandman season 2’s plot will be focusing on Dream trying to rebuild himself, show us different periods of history, and introduce us to a well of new characters such as Loki and Thor.
So far, the show looks stunning, and the team boldly states that “fans of the books won’t be disappointed.” From how packed the story looks in this teaser, we would recommend giving yourself a refresher on the first season for sure (read ourThe Sandman season 1 reviewfor more on that). But honestly, we can’t wait for more trailers to head our way in the coming months.
Plot details on The Sandman season 2 are still pretty light as Netflix plays its cards close to its chest. However, we do know that the show will pick up in the wake ofThe Sandman season 1 ending, which nicely set up the fourth and fifth volumes of the graphic novel: Season of Mists and A Game of You.
The first follows Dream returning to Hell to meet with Lucifer Morningstar, who makes a fateful decision to abdicate her throne. This sets her demons free to disastrous results. This is where the Endless come in too as Destiny, Delirium, and The Prodigal have all been cast.
Speaking toNetflix, showrunner Allan Heinberg teased this new storyline: “In the next chapter of The Sandman, the King of Dreams will come face-to-face – and go toe-to-toe – with the formidable rulers of Hell, Asgard, Faerie, and the realms beyond.” Watch this space…
When it comes to The Sandman season 2 cast, Netflix is giving us a lot (and I mean a lot) of names to keep track of. Of course, Tom Sturridge is back as Lord Morpheus. However, there are also plenty of brand-new names and unconfirmed castings for us to go through as well.
Below is The Sandman season 2 cast list:
We’ll keep you posted as more names are revealed and that list above continues to grow (shocking, we know). But, as Dream is set to encounter a wide range of different deities in season 2, the cast size makes sense, even if it is a bit intimidating at first glance.
