Sandman Season 2: Release, Reviews, Controversy

Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' concludes with a second season released in two parts: the first six episodes dropped on July 3, 2025, with the remaining five and a bonus finale set for late July. The 12-episode season adapts major comic arcs, notably 'Season of Mists,' following Dream/Morpheus as he rebuilds his kingdom and faces challenges from the Endless family. The show features an original score by David Buckley and prominent needle drops, with both new and returning cast members. Showrunner Allan Heinberg confirmed the two-season structure was pre-planned based on the available source material. Critics' responses have been mixed, praising the visuals, comic fidelity, and Tom Sturridge's performance, while citing issues with pacing and tone. Allegations against Neil Gaiman have contributed to controversy surrounding the show's conclusion.
