The Sandman

Netflix’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is streaming on Netflix, but what songs are included in the second season? See the full list below.

The first season of the screen version of Gaiman’s influential graphic novel debuted on the streaming service in August 2022, with the second season commissioned later that year.

The 12 episodes of season two are being released over the course of July, with the first six landing on Thursday (July 3), another five on July 24 and the final instalment due to arrive on July 31.

The show has been overseen by Gaiman, David S. Goyer and Allan Heinberg and it tells the story of Dream/Morpheus, the titular Sandman, played by Tom Sturridge. Boyd Holbrook, Vivienne Acheampong and Patton Oswalt co-star.

According to Netflix, season two begins a few weeks after the climax of the first season. “After more than a century away from the Dreaming, Dream has been restoring and rebuilding his kingdom,” the synopsis reads. “As he transforms the palace, he vows to leave the past behind and look to the future. The past, of course, has other ideas.”

In a four-star review of season oneNME wrote: “Often falling back on a corny British sense of humour and slightly over-polished to a contemporary sheen, there’s a cheap whiff of Doctor Who to the earlier episodes that will put a lot of people off. Stick with The Sandman through its biggest excesses though and there’s enough imagination to fuel another 30 years of waiting for anything half so original to come along again.”
