Many are wondering when we will see the second season of the sandman on Netflix: it will certainly be a long wait, also given that it hasn’t even been officially announced yet. Quite surprisingly, however, a double special episode is coming to the streaming platform, featuring the stories The Dream of a Thousand Cats and Calliope. Here’s the official trailer just released on Netflix’s official YouTube channel.
The special episode, which lasts 64 minutes, adapts two of the side stories of the saga present in the anthological book The land of the dream: another peculiarity is the fact that “The dream of a thousand cats” was made in animation.
Another world awaits us when we close our eyes to sleep… a place called the “dream kingdom”, where the dream lord Sandman (Tom Sturridge) shapes our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is suddenly captured and held captive for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will disrupt the world of sleep and wakefulness forever. To restore order, he will have to traverse universes and timelines to correct the mistakes he has made in his long existence, find old friends and enemies, and also meet new cosmic and human entities.
Based on the beloved and award-winning DC Comics comic book series written by Neil Gaiman, The Sandman is a rich interweaving of myth and dark fantasy filled with powerful characters that follow the adventures of Dream over the course of ten epic chapters. Development and executive production are in the hands of Gaiman, flanked by showrunner Allan Heinberg and David S. Goyer.
