Netflix has cancelled The Sandman, with The Sandman Season 2 set to be the final season (via Variety).

The cancellation of Netflix’s The Sandman arrives in light of several sexual misconduct accusations against Neil Gaiman, who created The Sandman. Other ramifications from this also include Gaiman being dropped by comic book publisher Dark Horse and most of his other projects being cancelled as well.

The Sandman Season 1 originally premiered in August 2022. Currently, The Sandman Season 2 is still slated to premiere sometime in 2025.

It will adapt the Season Of Mists storyline from Gaiman’s comics, in which Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) abdicates control of Hell and presents Morpheus, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge), with the key to its gates, causing many immortals to try to convince Morpheus to give the key to them.

Joining for Season 2 are Esmé Creed-Miles as Delirium, Adrian Lester as Destiny, Barry Sloane as “The Prodigal,” Ruairi O’Connor as Orpheus, Freddie Fox as Loki, Clive Russell as Odin, Laurence O’Fuarain as Thor, Ann Skelly as Nuala, Douglas Booth as Cluracan and Jack Gleeson as Puck, Indya Moore as Wanda and Steve Coogan as the voice of Barnabas the dog.

Among the Season 1 cast members returning for The Sandman Season 2 are Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, Ferdinand Kingsley as Hob Gadling, Stephen Fry as Gilbert, Asim Chaudhry as Abel, Sanjeev Bhaskar as Cain, Vanesu Samunyai as Rose Walker and Razane Jammal as Lyta Hall.

Back in November 2022, Netflix renewed The Sandman for a second season. In the meantime, check out my predictions of what’s to come in The Sandman Season 2 and beyond (though be prepared for full spoilers from both Season 1 and the entire comic book run).
