The Sandman Season 2 Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?
Here's everything you need to know about The Sandman season 2's release schedule.
The Sandman officially returned for its second season on July 3, 2025! That's nearly three years after the first season came out.
You might have noticed that Netflix only dropped six episodes of the season during the premiere day. Like some of our bigger faves (hey, Stranger Things!) this series is being released in parts.
The Sandman season 2 will consist of 12 episodes that are split into three different parts. Episodes 1-6 were all released on July 3. Fans will then have to wait until July 24, 2025 for episodes 7-11. But that still leaves episode 12, AKA the big finale, which will be released on its own on July 31, 2025.

‘Tires' Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix
Hope you're not getting tired of Tires, because there's more on the way. (Also, you should not be — Tires season two was great.) Netflix has renewed Tires for a third season, which will debut in 2026. Tires hails from comedian Shane Gillis, its breakout star (for my money) Steve Gerben and the director (John) McKeever. More from The Hollywood Reporter Netflix to Add NASA+ as It Launches Into Live Streaming Feeds 'Squid Game' Creator Weighs in on American Spinoff Reports and Explains That Surprise Cameo Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest Fall in Love Abroad in 'My Oxford Year' Trailer In Tires, Will (Gerben), the 'nervous and unqualified heir to an auto repair chain,' attempts to turn his father's tire-shop business around 'despite constant torture from his cousin,' Shane (Gillis), the synopsis reads. Shane is also Will's employee. In season two, after the success of Will's and Shane's big marketing idea — to sell tires to their customers at cost (and upsell them on other repair services) — the two 'rush to grow personally and professionally without fully realizing the cost of doing business,' per Netflix. Per me, they don't really grow personally or professionally, which is part of the show's charm. (OK, so maybe they grow a little.) Gillis, Gerben and McKeever write and executive produce Tires. The other executive producers are Brandon James (for Rough House, which is Danny McBride's production company), Brian Stern and Kenneth Slotnick (AGI Entertainment Media & Management), and Becky Astphan. In addition to Gillis and Gerben, Tires also stars Chris O'Connor, Kilah Fox and Stavros Halkias; guest stars include Andrew Schulz, Vince Vaughn, Thomas Haden Church, Ron White, Jon Lovitz, Veronika Slowikowska and Steph Tolev. Tires is the second production from Gillis and McKeever's production company, Dad Sick Productions, following Gillis' stand-up special Beautiful Dogs. Fun fact: Tires films in Westchester, Pennsylvania, directly next door to Gerben's (real) dad's (real) tire shop, Tires, Etc. The former carpet warehouse was already outfitted with car lifts — that Tires, Etc. location (Mr. Gerben owns several) was going to expand — and Gillis paid out of pocket to build out the rest of the set.

‘The Old Guard 2' Review: Charlize Theron and KiKi Layne Bring All the Right Moves, but Netflix Sequel Doesn't Have the Same Kick
A welcome surprise after months of COVID lockdown and upended release schedules, The Old Guard came along in 2020 to demonstrate that hard-charging action and emotionally textured drama need not be mutually exclusive. Its well-developed lead characters could handle themselves with MMA fight moves, knives, swords and Bronze Age axes. But they also had soulful interiority, their immortality sentencing them to existences of aching solitude and loss. Arriving five years later, Netflix's sequel has most of those elements, but it's missing the secret sauce — Gina Prince-Bythewood's commanding direction. Charlize Theron and KiKi Layne return as, respectively, the ancient — though still gorgeous, toned and nimble — warrior and the powerful fledgling immortal, along with a solid supporting cast that includes Marwan Kenzari and Luca Marinelli as Joe and Nicky, the gay couple whose relationship spans centuries. Joe's unabashed declaration of love and the passionate kiss they shared in the back of a truck full of macho armored thugs in the first movie was a gift to queer audiences starved for representation in superhero cinema. More from The Hollywood Reporter Karlovy Vary's Krystof Mucha on Continuing the Legacy of Jiri Bartoska Marcel Barelli to Get Locarno Kids Award, Annecy Winner 'Arco' to Screen at Fest Keanu Reeves to Host, Exec Produce Docuseries on the Birth of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team in the U.S. Again adapted by Greg Rucka from the graphic novel series he authored with illustrator Leandro Fernandez, this time working with co-writer Sarah L. Walker, the sequel obviously can't repeat the novelty of its predecessor. But the first film worked not just thanks to the dimensionality of the characters and the charismatic cast. It was also very much about the muscularity Prince-Bythewood brought to the physical action and the corresponding depth she instilled in the emotional beats. Victoria Mahoney, who has directed extensively on episodic television as well as second unit on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, does a polished job and maintains a confident pace. But the sequel ultimately is more competent than thrilling, and its moments of pathos too seldom resonate. The last film ended with Andy (Theron) mysteriously losing her immortality; fellow soldier Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) exiled for 100 years because of a betrayal; and CIA agent Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) switching sides, pledging to use his expertise to cover the group's tracks and steer them to wherever their services were needed. A coda six months later showed Booker drowning his sorrows in Paris, coming home to find Quynh (Veronica Van) in his apartment. That immortal was the beloved companion of Andy, way back when it was just the two of them, though the sequel again declines to address the implication that they were lovers. (Why the coyness? Did Netflix think two queer couples were too many?) Quynh was condemned for witchcraft 500 years earlier and buried alive at sea in an iron casket wrapped in chains. Her ability, like her fellow immortals, to regenerate every time she dies means she has been coming back to life and drowning again for five centuries. That gave Quynh ample time to feed her hatred for humanity and her rage at Andy, who had promised to be by her side until the end. She's fished out of the ocean and revealed gasping for breath in a brief prologue. The movie proper gets off to a promising start with its most exhilarating action set-piece, unfolding at a magnificent villa on the Croatian coast where a large arms deal is taking place. (In reality, it's a gorgeous piece of real-estate porn on Lake Como; the production was mostly shot in Italy.) While Nile (Layne) observes from a boat and Joe and Nicky distract some of the guards by speeding off in two vintage sportscars parked outside, Andy and Copley enter the mansion, where she conveniently finds a hefty sword hanging on the wall. Mahoney, cinematographer Barry Ackroyd, fight choreographer Georgi Manchev and the cast and stunt crew are all working at the top of their game here, with beatdown after beatdown, intercut with a pulse-racing car chase as Joe and Nicky are pursued by guards. The bravura sequence gets a fresh jolt when Nile abandons her lookout vessel and makes a spectacular entrance. Unfortunately, while there are plenty of kickass fight scenes to come, the sequel never quite regains the opening's explosive energy. But nor is it ever dull, meaning fans of the first movie will want to stay the course. When the protagonists regroup back at their safe house, Copley informs them that the dead man they believed to be the arms buyer was in fact just a conduit for an unidentified woman, seen in a CCTV photo awaiting facial recognition results. But Nile recognizes her from a dream in a library full of ancient tomes. That library is the result of many lifetimes of work by Andy's old friend Tuah (Henry Golding), who dropped out of soldiering to devote himself to documenting the immortals' place in history — the cause and effect of their exploits that Copley traced. Tuah reveals that several volumes of his work were stolen by a woman of many names, now going by Discord (Uma Thurman), an immortal whose existence predates even Andy's. They learn that Discord has spent five centuries living in the shadows, amassing untold wealth and power. She is now going after an even greater prize, using Quynh to get to Andy and Co. Rucka and Walker's script deftly fills in the blanks about the specific way an immortal can become mortal, which provides answers for Andy, as well as the revelation that the surrendered power can be bestowed on another. That leads to affecting developments once the disillusioned Booker is accepted back into the fold. Andy's brooding nature gets fresh fuel with the vengeful Quynh's re-emergence, but with Nile now more accepting of her mentorship, the rapport between those two women acquires a new warmth and humor. 'I'm mortal, but I'm not retired,' Andy deadpans when Nile shows concern about her state of mind. There's an electrifying fight scene, freighted with emotional baggage and guilt, after Andy tracks Quynh down in Rome and they duke it out in an alley with lots of fancy footwork. While there's no shortage of guns, knives and assorted other blades used in the clashes, the emphasis on physicality, on body against body, is a strength shared by both movies. Ditto the fact that, mortal or immortal, the characters feel the pain of their injuries. The hangout scenes once again are pleasurable, even if Kenzari and Marinelli are underutilized aside from their daredevilry in the early car chase. Nothing comes close to the swoony magic of their big moment in the first film, though it's sweet to watch them stagger off to bed together, with Joe playfully berating Nicky over his snoring when he's been drinking. But an intimate scene that appears to be building toward a kiss instead ends with them nuzzling foreheads. Boo! Still, the fact that these two have been spared much of the loneliness and sorrow suffered by their comrades because they have always had each other provides a tender note of queer affirmation. The climactic stretch, while it folds in some moving moments for Andy, becomes more routine once the action shifts to a Chinese-run secret nuclear facility in Indonesia, rigged with explosives. Everything points toward the inevitable smackdown between Andy and Discord — not to mention between Theron, whose fight skills have been on display not just in The Old Guard, but also in Mad Max: Fury Road and Atomic Blonde, and Thurman, immortalized as Black Mamba in the Kill Bill movies. But that anticipated face-off underwhelms. The cliffhanger ending clearly indicates a third movie in the planning, so maybe the filmmakers are saving their big guns for a final chapter. Whatever its shortcomings, The Old Guard 2 is a better-than-average original streaming feature — well acted by a highly capable cast, peppered with enough action to satisfy most appetites, and underscored with a melancholy vein of introspection about the conflicted roles of superheroes.

‘The Residence' and ‘Pulse' Canceled at Netflix
Netflix has canceled a pair of first-year series, The Residence and Pulse. The two shows both premiered in the spring and had four-week runs in Netflix's internal, worldwide top 10 rankings, with The Residence lasting a bit longer than than in Nielsen's U.S. streaming charts. As usual, Netflix does cost-benefit analysis in making renewal or cancellation decisions. More from The Hollywood Reporter The Front Man Speaks: 'Squid Game' Star Lee Byung-hun Unpacks His Character's Mysterious Inner Thoughts 'The Residence' Was Mostly Good, But It Didn't Quite Earn a Second Season Janelle James Looks Back on Not Getting Role on Netflix's 'GLOW' After She "Nailed" Audition The Residence is a White House-set murder mystery starring Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, the 'greatest detective in the world.' The series hails from Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland and creator/showrunner Paul William Davies (Scandal). Had the series gone forward, the plan was for it to become an anthology with Cupp taking on a new case each season. The cast for the first (and now only) season also features Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Edwina Findley, Bronson Pinchot, Mary Wiseman, Julieth Restrepo, Al Mitchell, Mel Rodriguez, Ken Marino, Jason Lee and Jane Curtin, among others. Davies executive produced the series with Shondaland principals Rhimes and Betsy Beers. In its four weeks in Netflix's global top 10, The Residence had 177.4 million hours of viewing, equivalent to 22.9 million full runs of the season ('views' in Netflix and other streamers' parlance). In those same four weeks, Nielsen recorded about 83.1 million hours of viewing, about 47 percent of the worldwide total. The Residence spent two additional weeks in the Nielsen rankings, adding 15.55 million more hours just above 2 million more views. Pulse was Netflix's first take at a medical procedural. Over its four weeks in the streamer's worldwide rankings, it drew 20.2 million views and 162.1 million total viewing hours. Its release also coincided with growing momentum for Max's hospital drama The Pitt, which had its first season finale the week after Pulse debuted. In the United States, Pulse spent just two weeks on the Nielsen streaming charts. Willa Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Justina Machado, Jack Bannon, Jessie T. Usher, Jessy Yates, Chelsea Muirhead, Daniela Nieves, Néstor Carbonell, Jessica Rothe, Santiago Segura, Ash Santos and Arturo Del Puerto starred. Zoe Robyn created the series and served as co-showrunner with Carlton Cuse; they executive produced with Bradley Gardner, Emma Forman, Michael Klick and Kate Dennis. In addition to the cancellations, a third Netflix rookie, No Good Deed, is on an indefinite hiatus following its first season, released in December 2024. There is still a chance that the dark comedy from Liz Feldman (Dead to Me) could return as an anthology, but nothing is planned at the moment. Deadline first reported the news.
