The Sandman confirms season 2 volume 1 release date on Netflix

Three years later, we’re back with new episodes of the show, but their production was delayed due to the industry-wide strike that halted Hollywood productions in 2023.

It became known in January that The Sandman season 2 would mark the conclusion of the fantasy series, leaving fans taken aback since the original story material encompasses 10 volumes and a newer prequel, named “The Sandman: Overture,” which was not expected to wrap up the series.

Allan Heinberg, the showrunner, revealed that before starting the second season, it was decided to concentrate solely on Dream’s narrative. This choice was made since the TV adaptation aimed to primarily tell Dream’s story, rather than that of various supporting characters from the comics.

In simple terms, Season 2 of The Sandman will have a total of 11 episodes. The initial six episodes will be available starting from Thursday, 3rd July 2025, as the first volume.

Volume 2 will follow three weeks later, on Thursday 24th July, dropping the final five chapters.

Check out the teaser trailer below, which Netflix unveiled today to announce the above dates:

The last season of The Sandman is set amidst allegations of sexual misconduct towards Gaiman, which he refutes.

As a passionate cinephile, I find myself reflecting upon the recent developments surrounding Good Omens. In the midst of various allegations, Neil Gaiman chose to relinquish his role within the fantasy series, leaving us pondering its future. To add to the intrigue, Amazon Prime Video has decided to transform the initially planned third season into a singular feature-length finale instead. The twists and turns in this tale continue to unfold…

Furthermore, Disney temporarily paused the production of a movie adaptation for The Graveyard Book and Dark Horse Comics stopped producing Gaiman’s comic book series based on his 2005 novel Anansi Boys; however, it’s still anticipated that a six-part series filmed in 2022 will be released on Amazon Prime Video.

I’m clearing up some misconceptions here. Contrary to recent allegations, I’ve never been involved in any form of non-consensual sexual activity. I vehemently reject any insinuations of abuse against me.
