The Sandman's Final Season Trailer Features Dream's Return To Hell, Warns 'All Good Stories Come To An End'
Hell anticipates Lord Morpheus' return "most avidly." "When an Endless changes, it changes everything." "All good stories come to an end."
The full trailer for The Sandman's second and final season is full of foreboding words, promising an epic wrap-up to the Netflix fantasy saga.
As previously reported, Season 2 will be broken into three parts: Volume 1, which will consist of six episodes, will start streaming on Thursday, July 3.
Volume 2, which will consist of five episodes, will follow on Thursday, July 24. The last episode of Volume 2 will conclude the story of Dream (played by Tom Sturridge).
Then on Thursday, July 31, a bonus episode, titled "The Sandman Presents: Death: The High Cost of Living," will concern Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), and bring the series to a close.
Netflix previously released a teaser trailer that shows Morpheus, lord of a mystical realm known as The Dreaming, reuniting with his siblings. Season 2 will introduce us to a few new members of this mystical family, known collectively as The Endless: Destiny (Primary Colors' Adrian Lester), Delirium (who will be played by Hanna's Esme Creed-Miles) and The Prodigal (Revenge's Barry Sloane). You can see the siblings reunite, albeit not happily, in the video below:
"After a fateful reunion with his family," the official Season 2 logline reads, "Dream of the Endless (played by Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of The Sandman will tell Dream's story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion."
The fantasy drama is based on Neil Gaiman's comic series of the same name. Gaiman, who is an executive producer on the show, has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple women; he denies the allegations. "I'm far from a perfect person," he wrote on his blog in January, "but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever." The Sandman's cancellation came a few weeks after the allegations against Gaiman were the subject of a New York Magazine story.
