Netflix’s television adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman lurks in the form of Season 2, which will likely arrive over two years after Season 1 first debuted on the streamer in August 2022.

Netflix also launched Dead Boy Detectives, based on another of Gaiman’s comic books set within the universe of The Sandman in April 2024, which adds layers to the story and realm. Season 2 paused production during the double strike in Hollywood in 2023, but now that they are back on track, casting news has been announced as the finish line is becoming less Endless for the next installment of the series.

Is The Sandman Season 2 in production?

November 29, 2023, saw the second installment of The Sandman return to production. Neil Gaiman, who wrote the comic books on which the series is based, wrote a letter about the re-start of production...

Netflix revealed a behind-the-scenes first look on Thursday of Season 2 of “The Sandman,” the ongoing adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s DC graphic novel series, as part of the streamer’s Geeked Week promotional efforts. The season will involve the “Season of Mists” storyline from the comics, in which Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) abdicates control of Hell and presents Morpheus, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge), with the key to its gates, causing many immortals to try to convince Morpheus to give the key to them.

The behind the scenes featurette provides a first look at one of those contingents: the Norse gods Thor (Laurence O’Fuarain), Loki (Freddie Fox) and Odin (Clive Russell), who attend what executive producer and showrunner Allan Heinberg calls a “banquet” that Dream throws “for all the visiting deities and gods and fairies.”

The featurette also teases the introduction of Dream’s other siblings: Destiny (Adrian Lester), Delirium (Esmé Creed-Miles...

The Sandman is returning for its second season on Netflix , and nine cast additions have been revealed -- Ruairi O'Connor, Indya Moore, Ann Skelly, Douglas Booth, Freddie Fox, Laurence O'Fuarain, Clive Russell, Jack Gleeson, and Steve Coogan (photos below). The fantasy drama series, inspired by the Neil Gaiman comics, debuted in August 2022 and was renewed three months later.

The second season of The Sandman stars Tom Sturridge, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Ferdinand Kingsley, Stephen Fry, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Vanesu Samunyai, and Razane Jammal.  In the story, Morpheus (Sturridge) is the personification of dreams and one of the seven Endless. He was captured in an occult ritual in 1916 and was then held captive. After 106 years, Dream escapes and sets out to restore order to his realm of the Dreaming.

Netflix has announced a host of names joining season 2 of Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Sandman’ including Steve Coogan and Douglas Booth.

Also joining the cast are Ruairi O’Connor, Freddie Fox, Clive Russell, Laurence O’Fuarain, Ann Skelly, Jack Gleeson and Indya Moore.

Returning cast members include Tom Sturridge, Kirby, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Ferdinand Kingsley, Stephen Fry, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Vanesu Samunyai, and Razane Jammal.

When the Sandman, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge) — the powerful cosmic being who controls all our dreams — is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for over a century, he must journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.

Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman, the series is a rich, character-driven blend of myth and dark fantasy woven together throughout ten epic chapters following Dream’s many adventures.

La segunda temporada de “Sandman”, de Netflix, suma nuevas incorporaciones a su reparto.

Basada en la galardonada serie de cómics de DC escrita por Neil Gaiman, “Sandman” es una gran combinación de mitos y fantasías oscuras que siguen las aventuras de Sueño.

La primera temporada gira en torno a Sandman – o Sueño (Tom Sturridge) – el poderoso ser cósmico que controla todos los sueños y que, tras ser capturado y encarcelado durante más de un siglo, debe embarcarse en un viaje a través de diferentes mundos y épocas para resolver el caos que provocó su ausencia.

Entre las nuevas caras que se unen al reparto se encuentran Ruairi O’Connor (“Expediente Warren: Obligado por el Demonio”), que interpretará a Orfeo, el poeta, músico y oráculo, hijo único de Sueño y la musa Calíope, Freddie Fox (“Slow Horses”), que dará vida a Loki,...

The first season of Netflix's long-awaited Neil Gaiman adaptation The Sandman was, aptly, the stuff dreams are made of. Blurring the lines between serialised and episodic storytelling, and operating - aptly - in an almost dreamlike mode throughout its duration, the streamer's take on Gaiman's legendarily lore-filled 75-comic dark fantasy was the perfect introduction to the tale of Tom Sturridge's Lord of Dreams, Morpheus, and his Endless siblings. And with Season 2 already in production, today Netflix have announced a slew of exciting new additions to the cast for the upcoming series.

Playing characters from The Sandman collections Season Of Mists and Brief Lives, the cohort assembled to help usher in our return to the dream world includes *deep breath* Ruairi O'Connor (The Morning Show) as poet Orpheus, Game Of Thrones alumnus Clive Russell and Jack Gleeson as Odin and malevolent hobgoblin Puck respectively, Freddie Fox (Slow Horses) as God of Chaos Loki,...

The Sandman is Morpheus, also known as Dream of the Endless. And the Endless never end, right? I mean, it’s right there in the name.

Yet, with the show’s latest casting announcement, it’s clear that producers of the Netflix series The Sandman have the end in mind. The latest characters to appear in the series include some major players in Neil Gaiman‘s climactic tale World’s End, including Morpheus’s son Orpheus, Puck from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Norse gods Loki, Thor, and Odin.

Orpheus will be played by Ruairi O’Connor, best known for The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and The Morning Show. Comic book readers know Orpheus as the son of Morpheus and Calliope, the muse kidnapped by insecure writers in the episode bearing her name. Newcomers to the Sandman story were struck at how cruelly Morpheus treated Calliope, and...

After spending decades in development hell, a live-action adaptation of the Neil Gaiman comic book series The Sandman actually made it into production and was released into the world as a Netflix series in August of 2022. (Read our review Here.) Season 2 of the show went into production last year, then had to be put on pause for a while due to the writers and actors strikes. Thankfully, The Sandman season 2 was able to resume production as soon as those strikes came to an end, and a couple months ago we heard that new cast additions include Esmé Creed-Miles (Hanna) as Delirium, Adrian Lester (Hustle) as Destiny, and Barry Sloane (Pleasureland) as The Prodigal. Now the names of several more new cast members and characters have been revealed:

Ruairi O’Connor (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) has been cast as Orpheus,” the poet, musician, and oracle, is the only...

After decades in various stages of development, Netflix was the studio that was finally able to bring “The Sandman” to life on screen. And believe it or not, it was apparently a pretty big hit. Now, the series has begun production on its second season, and we now know what group of folks are being added to the growing ensemble.

Good thing The Dreaming is an endless expanse, because The Sandman Season 2 is starting to get a lot more crowded.

Game of Thrones‘ Jack Gleeson will join Netflix’s fantasy series for its sophomore run, TVLine has learned. He’ll play Puck, who is described as “a malevolent hobgoblin who serves as the royal jester to King Auberon of Faerie. Puck is fascinated by mortals and enjoys nothing more than making sport of them for his own amusement. He’s also the inspiration for Shakespeare’s Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

“The Sandman” is adding several new cast members to its already growing lineup for Season 2, and these actors will be playing characters introduced in fan-favorite storylines from Neil Gaiman’s beloved DC graphic novel series, including Ruairi O’Connor, who has been cast as the son of Tom Sturridge’s Dream.

Netflix announced on its Tudum website Tuesday that O’Connor will play Orpheus : “the poet, musician, and oracle, is the only child of Dream and the muse, Calliope. Orpheus is an idealistic, romantic, young man – and very much his father’s son – until tragedy strikes and reveals to him the true nature of love.”

Also joining “The Sandman” cast for Season 2, per Tudum, are Freddie Fox as Loki, Clive Russell as Odin, Laurence O’Fuarain as Thor, Ann Skelly as Nuala, Douglas Booth as Cluracan and Jack Gleeson as Puck, all characters featured in the “Season of Mists” arc from “The Sandman” graphic novels.

"He's proving to be quite the distraction." Goldwyn Films debuts this indie romance on VOD in December, after its initial small theatrical debut in September in both the UK and US.

The cast includes Ruairi O'Connor as her lover, Phyllis Logan, Mark Williams, Simon Callow, with Emma Naomi, Michael Culkin, and Annabelle Holloway.

Royal Rendezvous is definitely not the kind of rom-com you’ll see on every channel, as the trailer TV Insider is exclusively debuting shows. In E!‘s scripted movie, starring Isabella Gomez, Ruairi O’Connor, and Ronan Raftery and premiering on Sunday, February 26, an East L.A. chef, Cat, is invited to a manor in Ireland to cook for the royal banquet in an effort by a Lord to convince his grandmother not to sell their home. However, as is expected in films like this, budding romances threaten to derail the entire plan. The trailer offers a look at the chef’s invite to Ireland — it comes the day before the family of royals wants her to cook for them for a week after reading about her — as well as her seeing her suite once there. “I am always up for a new adventure,” Cat says. And adventures she will have!

2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards Predictions:

Best Performance By Cast Ensemble (Drama Series)

Updated: Dec 7, 2021

Awards Prediction Commentary: More to come…...

One of the hottest awards contenders of the year, Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show,” has just revealed to Gold Derby that a whopping 22 cast members will be eligible for the ensemble prize at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Lead actresses Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon serve as bookends of the alphabetical list (see below), which also includes recent SAG Award nominees Steve Carell and Billy Crudup, plus new cast member (and guild queen) Julianna Margulies.

The last time “The Morning Show” contended at the 2020 SAG Awards, Aniston prevailed in the individual actress category, but the drama was shockingly snubbed in the ensemble race. That egregious oversight should be rectified this year, as the cast now comes in second place to win, according to Gold Derby predictions, behind only HBO’s “Succession.”

Picking up after the explosive events of season one, season two finds “The Morning Show" team emerging from the wreckage of Alex (Aniston) and Bradley’s (Witherspoon) actions, to a new Uba and a world in flux, where identity is everything and the chasm between who we present as and who we really are comes into play.

On Monday morning, Apple TV Plus unveiled a full second season trailer for “The Morning Show,” the series that launched the streamer on Nov. 1, 2019. The 10-episode Season 2 of the morning news drama — starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and run by executive producer Kerry Ehrin — will premiere on Sept. 17, with new episodes rolling out each week.

Production on “The Morning Show’s” second season was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, and the show, which had received a two-season order before Apple’s streaming service launched, resumed filming in October of last year. The Season 1 finale aired on Dec. 20, 2019.

When we last saw Alex (Aniston) and Bradley (Witherspoon), they were having a mad-as-hell “Network” moment on live television after Alex had reckoned with her complicity in ignoring the sexual misconduct perpetrated by her former co-anchor, Mitch (Steve Carell), who’d been protected (and abetted) for years by the head of the Uba network,...

Apple TV+ shared a new trailer for the upcoming second season of “The Morning Show” on Monday, and the stakes are higher than ever.

“You’re just so caught up in ruling over your rotten little fiefdom. The rest of the world, they’ve moved to the cloud, and it is gorgeous up there,” Billy Crudup’s character proclaims, somewhat melodramatically, to Uba network executives in the trailer. “This is a battle for the soul of the universe!”

Clearly, Alex (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley’s (Reese Witherspoon) decision to expose the network’s culture of misogyny and abuse on air is going over about as well as one might have hoped.

Season 2 of “The Morning Show” is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, Sept. 17, with new episodes rolling out weekly through Nov. 19.

In addition to Crudup, Aniston and Witherspoon, returning cast members include Steve Carell, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell,...

Producers of Apple TV+'s "The Morning Show" have filed a $44 million lawsuit against the show's insurance company for refusing to pay for coverage of losses due to the second season's Covid-related production delays, according to documents filed in California federal court on Friday.

"The Morning Show" executive producer Michael Ellenberg filed the lawsuit against the Apple drama's insurance company, Chubb National Insurance, on behalf of his banner Media Res, the production company behind the Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon-led series.

The "Morning Show" production company said it had secured $125 million in cast coverage from Chubb, plus more for imminent peril to their shooting location. The company said Chubb is now refusing to pay the coverage it owes the production company -- which, according to the lawsuit, is $44 million -- over the production delays it faced in Season 2 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the lawsuit, Chubb has...
