What if the night was never the same, and dreams lost their meaning? That’s the question posed by the second season of one of Netflix’s most atmospheric shows — The Sandman. After a long wait, fans will once again meet the Lord of Dreams, Morpheus — and this encounter will be the final one. The first teaser has already dropped online, and it’s more intriguing than anyone expected.
Netflix has confirmed: the continuation will be released in two parts. The first arrives on July 3, the second on July 24. Judging by the teaser, viewers are in for more than just the next chapter — this is the conclusion: dark, philosophical, and visually stunning. A reminder: the series is based on Neil Gaiman’s cult graphic novels, where the line between dream and reality is nearly erased.
The main character is Morpheus — also known as the Sandman, the ruler of the Dreaming. In the first season, viewers saw him return after 70 years of captivity, determined to restore balance and rediscover himself. But having regained control of the dream world, Morpheus found himself in an even more complicated reality — one in which even the immortal must change. That’s exactly where season two begins.
Tom Sturridge returns in the role of Morpheus. His performance perfectly captures the tone of the source material: restrained, distant, yet desperately searching for meaning. In the new season, familiar faces will return alongside him: Boyd Holbrook, Jenna Coleman, and David Thewlis. All signs point to a story about how even the oldest legends must come to an end.
Season two promises not just spectacle, but something fateful for the entire Sandman universe. Which means it’s time to prepare for farewell — and perhaps ask the same question Morpheus does: who are we without our dreams?
