After years of waiting for a TV adaptation, fans of The Sandman were thrilled by Netflix's take on the source material – mostly. Upon its release, many criticized its depiction of Dream's sister Despair as a weak-willed and dourly-dressed woman; a far cry from the fear-inspiring, confident and nude figure described in the comics.
Now, creator Neil Gaiman has shared his regrets over the character's portrayal – and promised that season 2 will see Donna Preston reprise the role and right some wrongs in regards to bringing Despair's full spirit to life.
