Now that all seven Endless are here...we can expect an even wilder season 2. Gaiman goths stay winning!

The Sandman was renewed for a second season in November 2022 and entered production in June of 2023 before being forced to shut down due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. The series, based on the ethereal graphic novels created by Neil Gaiman, was watched for 69.5 million hours in its first week, before doubling that record in its second to 127.5m.
