‘Sandman’ spent 4 weeks in the Top 10 after its release in Kenya
International streamer Netflix has offered a behind-the-scenes look at the second season of The Sandman at the Geeked Week event that took place on Thursday.
The clip shows Tom Sturridge‘s eponymous Dream (aka Morpheus) bonding with his siblings and meeting a few other familiar faces from Neil Gaiman‘s comic book series.
“Now we know who Dream is and the world he exists within, it’s possible to open up, and Season 2 definitely does that,” explains Sturridge.
The clip also features Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park and Donna Preston as Dream’s siblings Death, Desire and Despair.
“I think one of the most thrilling things about this season is, for the first time, to have the siblings of the Endless together in one room and to see this extraordinary family exist onscreen together,” Sturridge adds.
“We have entirely new casts, entirely new worlds and historical periods we are exploring,” said showrunner Allan Heinberg. “We are introducing the rest of the Endless family.”
Also introduced in the sneak peek are Laurence O’Fuarain as Thor, Freddie Fox as Loki and Clive Russell as Odin, as well as other mythical character featured in Gaiman’s comics.
“I am very excited for audiences to see the banquet that Dream throws for all the visiting deities and gods and fairies and season mists,” adds Heinberg. “It’s your introduction to Thor, it’s your introduction to Loki, Odin. It really is just a showstopper. Everywhere you look, something interesting and horrible is happening.”
