A few years ago, Netflix bet big on The Sandman, a series based on Neil Gaiman’s comics of the same name. It boasted a high-profile cast and lofty story, and even produced a spinoff, all of which gave it the potential to be Netflix’s next big franchise. But ahead of Season 2, abhorrent accusations of sexual abuse by Gaiman threw all of his work into question.
A Coraline musical adaptation was scrapped, Good Omens’ final season was truncated to a feature-length special (that may not even be released), and Sandman showrunner Allan Heinberg announced that Season 2 will be the show’s last. Heinberg’s announcement made it seem like this had always been the plan, but the timing was suspect, to say the least. Now we know when we can expect this final season — and how its unusual release schedule will work. Check out the official Sandman Season 2 trailer below.
