Netflix doesn’t know what to do with new episodes of ‘The Sandman’

After several months of agony, Netflix confirmed that “The Sandman” had been renewed, however, they were always careful not to call the new episodes “season two”. The dilemma has caused the streaming company to have some issues regarding what’s coming in the adventures of Tom Sturridge in his return as Morpheus.

According to statements by Mason Alexander Park, the star who brings Desire to life in the series, mentions it Netflix has problems with new episodes of ‘The Sandman’. This was already noted in the renewal announcement, where it was not said that it was a second season, but rather “new episodes”, similar to the specials released after the first episode.

Presumably Netflix doesn’t call “second season” to the new of ‘The Sandman’, and is that they are considering the return of the series as episodes. Mason says, “Netflix purposely didn’t record calling it ‘Season 2,’ so I’m not calling it ‘Season 2’ until we know what it is,” Mason said.

According to the details, internally Netflix is ​​deciding whether it will be a second season, which is likely to’The Sandman’ switch to weekly releases, where a new episode is released on the platform. “It can take many forms, so we’ll start filming in the summer and tackle the next big chunk of stories in time,” Mason concluded.

‘The Sandman’ has been delayed until 2024

In recent days Netflix has released a video showing the series that will return this 2023, in which ‘The Sandman’ made a small appearance. However, Neil Gaiman and Alexander Park have confirmed that they will begin filming new episodes in the middle of this year, so it seems almost impossible for more stories to be released in this universe anytime soon.

That is why various media assure that, at least, the new “The Sandman” will not arrive until 2024, and that is, if everything goes as planned, and luck is on the side of the Neil Gaiman program. So there’s a long wait ahead to see Morpheus through the Dream Realm back on the small screen.

That’s not all, because Neil Gaiman himself has hinted that the rest of the Eternals, Sueño’s brothers, may make an appearance in the new ‘The Sandman’, which is close to adapting one of the best arcs of the original novel .
