‘The Sandman’ Season 2 Will Be Explore Greek Tragedy
In an interview with ScreenRant, the show’s director, Jamie Childs, confirmed that season 2 will explore Greek tragedy.
Childs said, “We’re doing Greek tragedy, and then we’re doing cyberpunk, and we’re doing contemporary drama, or we’re doing cat and mouse chess stuff.”
Developed and executive produced by Heinberg, David S. Goyer, and Gaiman (who created this take on the characters in his original DC Comics). Season 1 consisted of 10 episodes, debuting on August 5, 2022, with an additional episode released on August 19. Netflix then renewed the show for a second season in November 2022. Filming for Season 2 began in June 2023 but was temporarily paused after three weeks due to strikes. It resumed in November 2023.
According to What’s on Netflix, ‘The Sandman’ season 2 will consist of 12 episodes and is set to premiere in 2024.
