The Sandman returns with Season 2 in July 2025. This fantasy series has everything from quests and magic to betrayals and mind games.
Netflix determines whether to renew a show based on various factors such as completion rate, viewership numbers, production costs, and more.
As of now, there's no news regarding the renewal of The Sandman but we look at the possibility of a Season 3.

And it is helmed by Director Jamie Childs and showrunner Allan Heinberg. With shocking plot twists, each episode will have viewers on the edge of their seats.

Has The Sandman Been Renewed for Season 3?
At the time of writing, Netflix has cancelled The Sandman and Season 2 is the final season.
Netflix tends to look at views and the drop-off rates before renewing or cancelling the show, along with the critical success. Some shows are instantly renewed like One Piece and Bridgerton while others take years such as The Watcher and The Victim's Game.
The Sandman was actually a critical and commercial hit and was renewed mere months after the Season 1 premiere in 2022. However, in January 2025, it was announced that the show would end with Season 2.
What do we know about The Sandman Season 3?
Nothing is known about The Sandman Season 3 given that it is not happening. It is loosely based on the DC comic of the same name and it seems that all of the source material will be covered with the release of The Sandman Season 2 Volume 2.
However, Netflix is not beyond the occasional spin-off and there are tons of side stories that can be adapted, such as those in 'World's End' or 'Fables and Reflections'. But this is all speculation.
We'll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in but for now, Morpheus' story ends with Season 2.

Pandora Sykes picks this summer's top 10 beach reads
A summer holiday is the perfect time to finally knuckle down to some serious reading. Here are the most in-the-know novel to been seen reading by the pool. Florence Knapp's novel The Names is a moving riff on the concept of nominative determinism — the idea that people's lives are guided by their name — using three different timelines. Each begins in 1987, with Cora registering her newborn son's name. In the first timeline Cora calls the baby Gordon, as his abusive father has demanded. In the second she calls him Julian. And in the third, her nine-year-old daughter names him Bear. Bear grows up to be a gentle wanderer; Julian is artistic and avoidant; and Gordon is as bullish and dismissive as his father.

Yrsa Daley-Ward on Stormzy, Beyoncé, and her new novel, The Catch
'IYA! Y'ORITE?' booms a friendly Lancashire accent when I log on to a video call with the author and 'Instagram poet' Yrsa Daley-Ward, who is sitting waiting with luminous skin, glossy lips and a smile so big and bright that it beams through the is talking from a hotel room in Washington, where she's promoting her debut novel, The Catch. Released on Thursday, it's a mysterious, dark tale of twin sisters Clara and Dempsey, whose familial bond is severed in childhood when their mother, Serene, vanishes into the Thames. The book already has a starry backing — in the UK it's being published by Merky Books, an imprint launched by the rapper Stormzy.'Stormzy is awesome,' Daley-Ward says, smiling. 'I haven't spoken to him for a while but he's incredible. So when Merky wanted to publish my book, I jumped at the chance.'Daley-Ward is already a publishing success — it was her 2014 poetry collection, Bone, that first grabbed Stormzy's attention and in 2018 she released The Terrible, her searingly honest memoir, which went on to win the PEN Ackerley prize the following year. • 80 best books to take on holiday this summer — chosen by the experts How did Stormzy discover her? He 'just out of the blue one day' sent Daley-Ward a photo of himself holding a copy of Bone — 'the really old vintage edition that I knocked together and was selling on Etsy and Amazon', she says. 'I was like, 'Oh my God, the work is travelling!' ' At the time Daley-Ward was travelling the world performing live readings of her poetry and had begun posting snippets of her work on Instagram. Even if you're not a poetry fan, you may have scrolled past her words at some point, usually displayed in a small, subtle typewriter font, cut down to a few sentences and repurposed as a motivational quote, often shared by somebody going through a break-up or experiencing grief. • Read more book reviews and interviews — and see what's top of the Sunday Times Bestsellers List Though poetry books have increased in popularity in recent years, with sales predominantly driven by younger readers and social media, Daley-Ward doesn't take too kindly to being called 'an Instagram poet'. 'There's an idea that I started on Instagram, but I was writing and performing at festivals for years before that,' she says. However, she does see social media as 'a wonderful tool' because 'it got the work to people who might've never picked up a poetry book. They see it on a little square and think, 'Oh, I feel this thing too.' ' Bone was a huge success. Stormzy publicly described the poems as 'honest, unflinching and unforgettable' and hailed Daley-Ward as 'one of Britain's best writers'. Her memoir caught attention too, with Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine describing it as 'like holding the truth in your hands'. Then in 2020 Daley-Ward was asked to be a collaborator on Beyoncé's film Black Is King with two days' notice. 'I got a mysterious call and they asked if I wanted to do it,' Daley-Ward says. 'I said, sure, and then there I was. It's definitely the thing in my bio that people ask most about.' She is tight-lipped on the details, but says that working with Beyoncé 'was such a collaborative space and an incredible experience. I don't know many people who aren't a Beyoncé fan. Just being there was an honour. It shows that when you concentrate on something, stick to it and believe in it, then it will take you to those places.' • Yrsa Daley-Ward: the extraordinary life of the model poet of Instagram Daley-Ward grew up in Chorley, a market town in Lancashire, and now lives in LA. This contrast is one she explores in The Terrible, a detailed account of an unsettled childhood, spanning everything from discovering that the man who raised her wasn't her biological father to being sent, aged seven, to live with her strict grandparents for four years. This stood her 'in good stead because the way my grandparents ran the house was regimented', she says, before adding, 'not that I'd recommend that … but it made me extremely organised.' Aged 16, Daley-Ward ran away with an older man and later became engaged to somebody else before breaking it off. She then moved to South Africa where she worked as a model, though 'certainly not a super successful one'. Now 36, she doesn't regret any of her past: 'I don't judge earlier versions of myself and you shouldn't allow anyone else to, either.' But there is one significant moment in her life that inspired her novel. Her mother died when Daley-Ward was 22, and questions of motherlessness and motherhood are a big theme throughout the book. 'To this day I'll see someone in the street that looks like my mum and I get such an intense longing,' she says. 'But it's also love — grief is love, so it's not necessarily a negative thing. It's all the things mixed together.' Despite poems and a memoir coming first, fiction was always Daley-Ward's intention. 'The only reason why these other things came first is because I had a lot of personal stories in the way before I was able to dream and imagine enough to write this,' she says. She is ready for people to assume that The Catch is autobiographical because 'the perception of women is that we always want to divulge', she says. 'Inevitably that happens to an extent, because it's what you know. But fiction gives you the opportunity to be quite wild — these characters behave in ways that I would never, so it's a fun experiment.' Despite having the likes of Stormzy, Beyoncé and the Italian fashion house Valentino on her list of collaborators, Daley-Ward doesn't do parties these days, opting instead to 'read books and go on long walks — that's living it up for me', she says. She visits Lancashire regularly to see her brother and his children and describes its 'nature, space and deep quiet' as being 'an excellent backdrop for dreaming and for making up stories. Going back there is really interesting and very layered, but it's lovely,' she explains. 'Lancashire is a huge part of me, you can hear it in my voice, it will never go anywhere. It's my beginning.'

HGTV star unloads on network in scathing post after show's shock cancellation
Bargain Block star Keith Bynum left fans stunned with a blistering swipe at HGTV after his show fell victim to the network's shock cancellation spree. Without warning, HGTV pulled the plug on Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate and Izzy Does It - with sources warning more changes are coming. The sudden cancellations sent shockwaves through the channel's fandom last week, and left employees of several shows fearing for their jobs. As news spread, Bynum - who starred on Bargain Block with his boyfriend of over a decade Evan Thomas - shared an Instagram post confirming the axe has fallen on their home renovation series after four seasons. Bynym then candidly expressed his feelings about the 'fickle world' of television, his career in which has taken place almost entirely on HGTV. 'Tv is full of a lot of great people but it's also full of some of the worst people I've ever encountered,' the 38-year-old tellingly wrote. 'The last six months have been a pretty wild journey,' he wrote in an Instagram post uploaded shortly after news spread of the cancelations. 'Our entire business and lives have been put through the ringer at the hands of a giant corporation, yet we persist lol,' he quipped. 'Though you may not be seeing us for much longer on HGTV, we're excited that we've built such an amazing base of followers and we're very excited about the future. Everyone always told us TV is a fickle world and they are very right,' he added. 'Tv is full of a lot of great people but it's also full of some of the worst people I've ever encountered. Evan and I have always tried hard to stick to what we know and what we're good at which is being ourselves.' Striking an upbeat tone, he told his more than 130,000 followers: 'We love you all and we're very excited to announce what's next soon!' On the Fourth of July, HGTV's Battle on the Beach joined the channel's scrap heap as co-host Alison Victoria revealed the show had not been renewed for season five. Shortly after the initial raft of cancellations, network sources spoke exclusively to about the thinking behind the move. 'We had to stop the bleeding,' said the senior source, who claimed that revenues were underperforming and the network needed to act. 'Decisions are still being made,' said the insider, who works directly with programming. 'It sucks for everyone involved but that's the TV business. Everyone understands that. Cable networks are struggling now, and we all have to make smart decisions.' Farmhouse Fixer host Jonathan Knight confirmed that his show, co-presented by Kristina Crestin, had been axed on Wednesday after three seasons. 'A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer,' he said. 'I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season. 'While I'm still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past three seasons. Television has been so incredibly fun for us.' It was a surprise move by the network, given that former New Kids on the Block singer Knight is one of the most recognizable stars on the HGTV roster. 'We were hemorrhaging money. So in order to stop the bleeding, we had to have a bloodbath. It was calculated cuts to make things make sense, financially.' 'He's well-known for sure,' said the network insider, 'but there are hosts on our shows who are more the face of the network. We're not getting rid of [Hometown hosts] Ben and Erin Napier anytime soon. They're probably the biggest stars we've got.' The decision to keep or cut a show comes down to revenue, and the Napiers enjoy the network's highest ratings. Each episode of Hometown garners around one million viewers, and is rebroadcast several times throughout the week. Other top performers include Rock the Block, My Lottery Dream Home, 100 Day Dream Home, Castle Impossible and House Hunters International. 'Obviously, things can change but the ratings performers are probably pretty safe,' said the insider. 'House Hunters International is a bit more expensive to produce, but the ratings justify it.' But some of the lesser-known shows, including Luxe for Less and Unsellable Houses, are facing uncertain futures. The show Izzy Does It was an easier cancellation decision, the executive said, because it was just entering Season 2 and had not yet built a devoted fan base. Host Israel 'Izzy' Battres has not issued a statement directly addressing his show's cancellation, but did respond to a fan online. 'Unfortunately, no season two,' Battres said, 'but we're truly thankful for everyone watching and supporting us!!' Married to Real Estate's hosts Mike Jackson and Egypt Sherrod described the decision to axe their show as 'unexpected' in a joint statement. 'Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we're met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with Married to Real Estate,' it read. 'While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful. Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans.' The network insider acknowledged that the cancellations were 'brutal' but believes that all those impacted would find other projects. 'There are so many opportunities in home renovation media, whether it's on a network like HGTV or something online or something totally different. I am pretty sure everyone will land on their feet.'
