The Sandman is an upcoming American drama streaming television series adapted on Neil Gaiman’s 1989–1996 DC Comics comic book of the same name. Allan Heinberg created the series for Netflix’s streaming service. The Sandman chronicles the narrative of Dream, the titular Sandman, just like the comic.
The Sandman was first adapted to film in 1991, but it languished in development purgatory for several years. In June 2019, Netflix agreed to create the show, with production taking place from October 2020 to August 2021. This new series’ first look and behind-the-scenes footage has already been unveiled. Let’s get going.

Executive producers include Heinberg, Gaiman, and David S. Goyer, and the movie is produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television. The series takes place in 1916, Dream, the king of narratives and one of the seven Endless, is captured in an occult ritual. In 2021, he breaks free after being taken hostage for 105 years and sets out to restore law and order to his country of the Dreaming. Out of five graphic novels, the comic was placed No. 46 on Entertainment Weekly’s “100 Best Reads from 1983 to 2008” list.
