Following the critical and public success of the first season, Sandman returns to Netflix for a highly-anticipated season 2, starting July 3, 2025. Still adapted from the cult comic book series published by DC Comics and written by Neil Gaiman, this new season continues the adventures of Dream of the Infinite (Tom Sturridge), confronted with the consequences of his past choices. The richly symbolic visual universe opens up this time to new characters, gods and creatures from mythological and supernatural realms.
Sandman season 2 will be available on Netflix from July 3, 2025.
Netflix has revealed the first trailer for Sandman season 2, which promises a spectacular return to the heart of the Infinite Realms. It finds Dream, more vulnerable than ever, facing new challenges and adversaries. The dark atmosphere, dreamlike settings and rich visuals testify to the ambition of this eagerly-awaited sequel.
Synopsis: After a fateful confrontation with his family, Rêve (Tom Sturridge) must make impossible choices to protect his kingdom, the Waking World and himself. Pursued by the mistakes of the past, he crosses paths with old allies and fearsome enemies, as well as new gods and monsters. In his quest for redemption, Rêve may well have to sacrifice everything. This season continues to explore the complex and poetic universe of The Infinite, in a faithful and ambitious adaptation of Neil Gaiman's original work.
This season 2 of Sandman will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman's comics as much as to fans of dense fantasy series such as American Gods, The Witcher or His Dark Materials. The story is rooted in a rich mythology, at the crossroads of dreams, death, desire and destiny. The series blends personal drama and cosmic stakes, with a tone both introspective and epic.
In addition to Tom Sturridge, season 2 sees the return of Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Gwendoline Christie, Boyd Holbrook, Mason Alexander Park and Jenna Coleman. New faces include: Jack Gleeson, Barry Sloane, Ruairí O'Connor, Douglas Booth, Freddie Fox and Indya Moore. All play characters familiar to readers of the original series, or newcomers from major arcs in subsequent volumes.
Sandman season 2 arrives on Netflix on July 3, 2025. Adapted from Neil Gaiman's cult comic book, the series continues its exploration of a complex, dreamlike fantasy universe, following a Dream tormented by his past decisions. Between revelations, battles and mythological encounters, this new season promises to be more intense than ever.
