Netflix just dropped a trailer hotter than Lucifer’s lair for Season 2 of The Sandman, and let me tell you—it’s the beginning of the end. Yup, final season. The last sleepover. The ultimate bedtime story. And it’s coming at you in two volumes because apparently Dream is dramatic and likes a good cliffhanger.
Mark your calendars and fluff your pillows:
– Volume 1 (a cozy six-episode binge-fest): July 3
– Volume 2 (five more episodes of beautifully bleak existential dread): July 24
Now, let’s talk plot. The official synopsis sounds like a therapy session with a Shakespearean twist:
Dream of the Endless (played by Tom Sturridge, a.k.a. the goth boyfriend your mom warned you about) is dealing with some serious family issues. You know how it is—one minute you’re chilling in your dream kingdom, the next you’re confronting gods, monsters, and your exes, all while trying not to let the waking world crumble. No pressure, right?
He’s on a redemption arc, facing consequences, unpacking childhood trauma, dodging divine drama, and probably skipping a lot of naps.
And the cast? Oh honey, it’s stacked like a dream buffet:
– Kirby Howell-Baptiste
– Mason Alexander Park
– Gwendoline “Tall and Majestic” Christie
– Jenna Coleman (yes, again!)
– Stephen Fry (iconic)
– Jack Gleeson (Joffrey, but let’s forgive and forget)
– And Patton Oswalt as a talking raven, because why not?
Also—can we talk about Steve Coogan?? If Alan Partridge shows up in the Dreaming, I am officially ascending.
So whether you’re a die-hard comic book fan or just here for the chaotic family reunions and ethereal eye candy, this final season promises heartbreak, heroism, and probably one existential crisis per episode.
Catch the trailer, prep your black eyeliner, and start emotionally detaching from all your favorite characters now—because knowing Neil Gaiman, no one is safe.
Sweet dreams, mortals. 🖤💤
