If you came up to me and told me in 2015 that a live adaptation of Neil Gaiman’sThe Sandmanwould be available to watch on our mobile phones of all things, I’d laugh at your face and go on about my day. But here we are, Gaiman’s work is up and running on Netflix as a full-fledged TV show.
The Sandmanmade its live-action debut by coming out as a TV series just last month, and it’s gotten nothing short of praise from critics and fans alike. While it thrives in its success, fans are also eager to know when a second season will be available, and one of its creators is optimistic about getting that one more season.

Neil Gaiman‘s TheSandmanmade its debut in unforgettable fashion, with the first (and only season available till now) gaining a lot of viewers.
The TV series was already at the top of Netflix’s Top 10 titles just three days after it was released on August 24, 2025, gaining up to 69.5 million hours viewed. It went on to become the most-watched TV show on the streaming platform, although for only a brief period of six days.
Despite what haters would say, whatThe Sandmanhas done is not an easy task at all, and because of its success fans just want more of it.

For fans that are eagerly waiting for a second season, here’s a nice little update about it from the show’s VFX supervisor to shine a ray of hope on your face. Ian Markiewicz spoke to Screen Rant about the optimism from other creators who also have their hopes up for a second season-
“We’re all cautiously optimistic…I think that, at this point, the show has performed in the way that it has, we feel pretty confident with that, we also understand that there’s a lot of things that go into that decision…we want to be in a position to put our best foot forward, so I think we’re looking at it as an investment to say, “We hope that it moves forward, we hope that we’re in a position to get to do this again, and if we are in that position, we want to be in a place where we feel like we use the time available the best that we see fit”.
Markiewicz further concluded his statement by saying“it is still totally speculative”.
We can only cross our fingers and hope that a second season gets renewed. So please Netflix, give us that good news asap!

It’s great to see a lot of people rally behind the TV show by pushing for a second season renewal, and we’re all for it. Netflix has to realize that it cannot throw such an opportunity away, especially when the demand is this high.
