The Sandman Season 2 Video Reveals First Look at The Endless, Loki

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with a soft spot for the mystical and fantastical, I can hardly contain my excitement as Netflix prepares to immerse us once more into the captivating realm of The Dreaming. Having delved deep into the rich lore of The Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman, I am eagerly anticipating the adaptation of “Seasons of the Mist” and “Brief Lives” in Season 2.


Prepare yourself, as we’re nearly back to the realm of The Dreaming! During Netflix’s Geeked Week celebrations on Thursday evening, a sneak peek behind-the-scenes featurette for season 2 of The Sandman was unveiled. This video offers intriguing insights from the series’ cast and crew, along with quick glimpses of Loki (Freddie Fox), as well as some of the latest additions to The Endless: Esmé Creed-Miles portraying Delirium, Adrian Lester depicting Destiny, and Barry Sloane stepping into the role of The Prodigal (aka Destruction). In the coming season, The Sandman is set to adapt the storylines “Seasons of the Mist” and “Brief Lives.” This latest glimpse comes following the cancellation of the spinoff series, Dead Boy Detectives, mere weeks ago. At present, it remains uncertain whether characters from that series will play a role in season 2 of The Sandman.

In his initial statement, showrunner Allan Heinberg explained that each character shares similar power with Dream, yet exhibits a level of cunning that’s almost equal and an unmatched ruthlessness. He further stated that these characters will entangle Dream in a complex web of courtly intrigue, enchantment, demonic conflicts, and arachnid-themed intimacy. None of this was anticipated by Dream; however, it ultimately reshapes him into a much more formidable Dream of the Endless.

What Is The Sandman About?

The story of “The Sandman” originates from the well-known DC comic series created by Neil Gaiman and several talented artists such as Sam Kieth, Mike Dringenberg, Jill Thompson, Shawn McManus, Marc Hempel, Bryan Talbot, and Michael Zulli. This captivating tale combines elements of modern mythology and dark fantasy, effortlessly weaving together contemporary narratives, historical events, and folklore. The narrative follows the journey of Morpheus, the Dream King, as he endeavors to rectify the cosmic and personal errors he has made throughout his extensive lifetime, affecting various characters and locales along the way.

In the first season of this series, we have Tom Sturridge portraying Dream, Kirby taking on the role of Death, Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer, Charles Dance as Roderick Burgess, Asim Chaudhry as Abel, Sanjeev Bhaskar as Cain, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, Joely Richardson as Ethel Cripps, David Thewlis as John Dee, Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian, Stephen Fry lending his voice to Dream’s raven Matthew, and Mason Alexander Park playing Desire.

Season 2 of The Sandman is expected to debut exclusively on Netflix at some point in 2025.
