It’s not just Marvel series that are successful on Netflix. With The Sandmanit was the DC universe that was in the spotlight. The series is an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s graphic novels, published between 1989 and 1996. Created by Allan Heinberg, the series also counted on David S. Goyer, a regular visitor to this dark universe (writer in particular of the films Lama AND The dark Knight). Released on August 5, 2022 on Netflix, The Sandman found its audience thanks to its fantastic story. We follow Morpheus/Dreamthe King of Dreams who is one day captured by an occultist and imprisoned for over a century. He eventually escapes and embarks on a journey through the Dream World and the Waking World to regain his powers and cure humans of the “sleeping sickness” caused by his imprisonment.
In just three days, The Sandman had already accumulated nearly 70 million hours viewed. Then, in the second week, the show had racked up another 127.5 million. Despite these impressive numbers, the second season of the series was not certain. We ultimately had to wait several months (November 2022) before Netflix confirmed the development of new episodes.
