The first season of Sandman opened the door to the world of dreams and nightmares, delighting both fans of Neil Gaiman’s graphic novels and those who have never entered the world of dreams, including Sandman or the Dream or Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) is Lord.
This season is an adaptation of the many adventures of Morpheus as told by Neil Gaiman in the comics. But there are still eight volumes sand man to adapt. It’s enough to give Neil Gaiman — and his co-showrunners — plenty of work to do if Netflix is fired up for a second season. He spoke to the author variety and confided in some of his plans.
Sandman Season 1 offers the first glimpse of Lucifer Morningstar (Gwendoline Christie) in a memorable scene: a duel called “The Ancient Game.” The confrontation between the two is merciless and ends with Lucifer defeated, clearly not ready to stop there. Neil Gaiman isn’t going to stop there either:
“I love telling people who don’t know anything about what happened in the comics, “If we do season 2, we’re going to get revenge and Morpheus will go back to Hell. And Lucifer has surprises that Morpheus doesn’t expect.’ And they all go “Ah!” And I’m like, “Yeah, and I know what it’s going to be like, but you don’t.” And anyone who’s ever read Season of the Mists knows how it’s going to turn out, and you don’t. But that’s okay, because not everyone will have read Season of the Fog, and it’s going to be a lot of fun.“
Sandman and Desire (Tom Sturridge and Mason Alexander Park)
As previously explained, John Constantine does not appear in Sandman due to contractual reasons. The famous detective is not completely changed there. We meet Johanna Constantine and her ancestor Lady Constantine – both played by Jenna Coleman. Their presence does not betray Gaiman’s work, as they are also present in the comics.
Johanna Constantine appears in episode 3 and shows similar character traits to John. And he immediately knew how to convince the public, as Neil Gaiman recounts:
“Everyone who’s seen episode 3 of Sandman has approached us at one point or another and said, “Do you think it’s possible to do a series about Johanna Constantine with Jenna Coleman?” And, oh my god, he’s a star and you just want to see him fight demons and destroy other people’s lives. So there it is. We can go on like this for a long time.“
In just two performances, Jenna Coleman convinced us as Johanna Constantine. Undoubtedly, it has arguments to top its own series.
