Netflix announced that The Sandman will be released on August 5, 2022, alongside a brand new trailer and some character posters showcasing Dream, Matthew the Raven, Johanna Constantine, and The Corinthian which you can see below.

If audio is more your speed, Neil Gaiman served as the narrator for a podcast series that adapted The Sandman, in which James McAvoy starred as Morpheus/Dream, Michael Sheen as Lucifer, and Kat Dennings as Death. The Sandman comic books are beloved in the comic book community, and with the creator Neil Gaiman serving as the executive producer, Netflix surely won’t let us down.
