After much fan demand and various conflicting reports surfacing online, a popular Netflix adaptation will be returning for its sophomore season as confirmed earlier this week.

Netflix will be bringing back Neil Gaiman's The Sandman for a second season. The series launched at the start of August, and scored both rave reviews and impressive ratings from keen audiences. The confirmation of the renewal follows an accidental leak from DC Comics' official Twitter page earlier this Wednesday. The since deleted tweet read, “The dream continues. [The Sandman] will return with new episodes based on multiple volumes of the Neil Gaiman graphic novel to explore even more stories of the Endless”.

In a statement regarding the show’s renewal, Neil Gaiman stated, “Millions upon millions of people have welcomed and watched and loved The Sandman on Netflix, from established Sandman fans to people who were simply curious, and then became obsessed with the Lord of Dreams, his family, and their goings-on. It gives me unbelievable pleasure to say that, working with Netflix and Warner Bros., Allan Heinberg, David Goyer, and I will be bringing even more of The Sandman stories to life”.

Gaiman also went on to tease some of the stories that fans will possibly see in the next season, which includes meeting more of Dream’s other siblings and as the continuation of his feud with Lucifer. The new season will continue to expand the world of The Sandman as it returns with even more episodes with stories to be adapted from multiple The Sandman graphic novels.
