The Sandman Trailer A “Sandman” adaptation has been in development hell for 25 years, so it’s amazing to finally see the characters of Gaiman’s incredible story brought to life. The Netflix series will adapt stories from the first two graphic novels in “The Sandman:” “Preludes and Nocturnes” and “The Doll’s House.” Gaiman has also spoken about cats being cast for the series, so some fans think the beloved story “A Dream of a Thousand Cats” from the third graphic novel, “Dream Country,” will also be shown in “The Sandman” season 1....
