Get ready to dream. Author Neil Gaiman confirmed that production of The Sandman’s first season has wrapped and post-production is underway. This is pretty big news, given the series has been in development hell for 25 years. There have been many attempts to film The Sandman comic series over the years, but in 2019 Netflix ordered the series adaptation that is apparently now in the can.

Get ready to dream. Author Neil Gaiman confirmed that production of The Sandman’s first season has wrapped and post-production is underway. This is pretty big news, given the series has been in development hell for 25 years. There have been many attempts to film The Sandman comic series over the years, but in 2019 Netflix ordered the series adaptation that is apparently now in the can.
Developing ‘The Dreaming’
It feels like Sandman. I don’t know if that means that people who watch TV will like it – although I hope they will – but I suspect that if you like Sandman and you want to see it on the screen, then you’ll like this. (I also think Tom Sturridge will be a star after season one of Sandman drops.)
Hmm. Well, we’ve finished principal photography on Season 1, and now we all have to be patient while the VFX and suchlike are done, music is written and recorded, and so on. No, I don’t know any release dates, or even when the trailer will be released.
The Netflix series comes to us from Wonder Woman co-writer Allan Heinberg developing and executive producing with Gaiman and Blade trilogy scribe David S. Goyer.
Meet the Endless
While Gaiman didn’t give any news about when to expect the series, what we can expect is a tremendous cast. In addition to Sturridge, the Sandman cast includes Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer, Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, Donna Preston as Despair, Boyd Holbrook as the evil Corinthian, Charles Dance as Rodrick Burgess, and Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine. You know, John Constantine’s feisty demon-hunting ancestor.
