'The Sandman' Season 2 Will Resume Filming In November

With the conclusion of the writers' and actors' strikes, the engine of Hollywood is slowly starting to come back to life, with a positive deluge of entertainment properties greenlighting new seasons, announcing big casting coups, and restarting filming on previously shut-down productions. Netflix has been one of the quickest streamers to get its content back into production, with shows ranging from Stranger Things and That 90s Show.

And now The Sandman, Netflix's lavish adaptation of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking comics collection, is officially set to resume filming. The production update comes straight from Gaiman himself, who confirmed via his account on Twitter clone Blue Sky that filming was set to resume immediately following the American Thanksgiving holiday.

Based on the award-winning series of the same name, The Sandman follows the story of Morpheus, informally known as Dream, the Lord of the Dreaming, and one of seven immortal beings known as the Endless, who are essentially personifications of various human aspects of reality. (His siblings are Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, and Destruction. Try saying that five times fast.) The series' first season saw Dream taken prisoner by a moral occultist and held prisoner for much of a century, before escaping and setting off on a search for his stolen totems of power.
