Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman finally found a home on Netflix, and here’s everything you need to know about the TV Series before binge-watching it this weekend.
DC serialized The Sandman from 1989 to 1996, and now, finally, the dark fantasy drama series gets the screen adaptation, and fans couldn’t be happier. The show’s makers started trying to bring the comic book characters to life in 1991. However, due to several scenarios, the plan kept on getting delayed.
In 2013, Warner Bros was set to develop a film adaptation of The Sandman alongside Gaiman and Goyer. The film got canceled due to some creative differences among the team members. Keeping all these things in mind, Warner Bros. approached Netflix for collaboration; the streaming giant signed the deal in 2019. Later on, Netflix decided to adapt The Sandman into a TV series instead of going for a movie adaptation.
