The scripts for upcoming episodes of The Sandman have received an update from Neil Gaiman. The Sandman, a television series created specifically for Netflix that is based on the same-named comic series authored by Gaiman, debuted in August. The fantasy series would go on to dominate the Netflix ratings for several weeks, even momentarily unseating Stranger Things season 4 from August 8–14. Even though The Sandman earned widespread praise from critics and has since won over fans, the news that further episodes of the show would be added to the schedule wasn’t made public until November. The Sandman’s upcoming episodes are not yet scheduled for release, but they should air sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.
Gaiman provided some interesting updates for upcoming episodes of The Sandman in a post to his Tumblr. Gaiman replied that while not all of the scripts have yet been finished, he and the writers are currently in the process of writing them and that he has a hand in overseeing what the series’ script is. The fan’s question was, “Are the Sandman scripts already written for season 2 and did you have a hand in overseeing it?,” to which Gaiman replied, “Are they already written for season 2 and did you have a hand in overseeing it?”
What to expect from Sandman Season 2?
Gaiman and the cast of The Sandman have both hinted at potential future stories, even if the premise of upcoming episodes hasn’t been revealed yet because the scripts are still being produced. Delirium, the newest Endless member, will be a part of the series, and Gaiman has expressed his delight about casting the part on numerous occasions. The much-loved characters of Boyd Holbrook (The Corinthian) and Jenna Coleman (Johanna Constantine) have also hinted at potential comebacks. Coleman even hinted that Constantine might eventually have her own Sandman spinoff series, a notion that Gaiman has shown to be amenable to, though none of their, nor Netflix’s, official intentions have been confirmed.
Additionally, it was recently hinted that this upcoming instalment of The Sandman would be divided into two parts, similar to how Stranger Things season 4 was. The concept of the series is also “on the table” when it comes to “Sandman,” according to Netflix’s head of U.S. and Canadian scripted series, Peter Friedlander. Additionally, Netflix has stated that the renewed episodes would not be regarded as a second season of the show.
There is greater anticipation than ever for the release of new episodes of The Sandman since fans from all over the world are driving such a strong campaign for its renewal. The scripts for the new episodes have not yet been finished, so it may still be some time before they are released. It is currently rumoured that filming for the new episodes will start in early 2023. The popularity of the series is often credited to Neil Gaiman’s ongoing involvement, and now that the author has revealed that he has a significant role in crafting the screenplays for the upcoming episodes, this new chapter will undoubtedly extend The Sandman’s reign on Netflix.
