Due to the Hollywood actors’ strike, which was confirmed last week, the tapings of the second season of sandman have been discontinued, as announced by Neil Gaiman, lead writer of the series. The writer released the statement via BlueSky and said that while he hopes for a negotiation between the Union of Actors (SAG-AFTRA) and the AMPTP (an association that brings together studio representatives), he has no hope that that happen soon. .
The SAG-AFTRA (Union of Actors) strike has begun. Sandman stopped filming entirely, with everything else without the writers. I hope AMPTP finds some logic and returns to the table with actors and writers. [mas] I have no reason at this point to think they will be right.

The Sandman, a hit series on Netflix, was renewed for a second season in November 2022. Launching in early August last year, the series had 69.5 million hours watched in its first week on the platform alone, reaching 127, 5 million in the second, 77.2 million in the third and 53.8 million in the fourth. The renewal of the title was revealed after a leak on Twitter.
Based on the DC Comics series of the same name, sandman follows Morpheus (Tom Sturridge), the king of dreams, who after being imprisoned for 106 years, escapes to restore power and order to his kingdom, as well as right his wrongs.
The first season of the series is still available on Netflix. There is no season 2 premiere date yet.
