Season 2 of The Sandman has cast three new siblings of The Endless family: Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester and Barry Sloane.
Netflix’s The Sandman is getting ready for season 2 as the streamer announces new additions to the series’ cast.
Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester and Barry Sloane have been cast in the series as Delirium, Destiny and The Prodigal respectively. These are the three remaining siblings of the Endless family.
Season 2 was announced first in November 2022 but the production itself was severely delayed by the Hollywood strikes in 2023. It looks like things are back on track as a new, very short teaser has been released.
The Sandman season 2 remains a bit of a mystery for the more casual viewer. Based on a popular comic book series by Neil Gaiman, Variety speculates that the new season might adapt ‘Season of Mists’ after the new cast announcement.
Here’s the synopsis for season 1 of The Sandman: When the Sandman, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge) — the powerful cosmic being who controls all our dreams — is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for over a century, he must journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.
The long list of returning actors for season 2 includes Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, Ferdinand Kingsley as Hob Gadling, Stephen Fry as Gilbert, Asim Chaudhry as Abel, Sanjeev Bhaskar as Cain, Vanesu Samunyai as Rose Walker, and Razane Jammal as Lyta Hall.
Jamie Childs will direct all episodes of The Sandman season 2, which currently doesn’t have a release date but we’ll make sure to keep you posted on that.
