 Netflix's The Sandman

Neil Gaiman's The Sandman has finally found a home at Netflix. On July 1, 2019, The Sandman received an 11 episode series order from the streaming service with Gaiman as executive producer alongside David Goyer and with Allan Heinberg as showrunner. The series was slated to start filming at the end of May 2020 but production was delayed amid the Covid-19 pandemic and it remains unknown just when production will resume. What is known is that the series will be set in 2021 and the gender of The Sandman could also be up for debate, says Gaiman.

Synopsis — A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic--and human--mistakes he's made during his vast existence.

In the meantime, while you wait for the upcoming series, you can always listen to The Sandman Audible original adaptation starring James McAvoy as Morpheus and Kat Dennings as Death with Gaiman as the Narrator.
