Will there be another season of The Sandman on Netflix
The Sandman season 2's bonus episode has left fans wondering if there will be more WARNING: This article contains spoilers from The Sandman season 2 The eagerly awaited bonus episode of The Sandman season 2 dropped today (July 31), sending fans flocking to Netflix to catch the latest instalment of the series inspired by the eponymous comics, reports the Manchester Evening News. Titled Death: The High Cost of Living, the 12th episode introduces us to Death (portrayed by Kirby Howell-Baptiste) experiencing life as a human for a day. Netflix released the second season of The Sandman in two parts, with Death: The High Cost of Living following suit, once more boasting an A-list cast. Allan Heinberg, the creator of The Sandman, shared his thoughts with Netflix's Tudum, saying: "You get a lifetime, no matter how long you're here, so make the most of it." He continued, "Don't forget what a privilege it is to be here and how lucky we all are to be here, and don't take any of it for granted because it could all be over very quickly." Heinberg noted, "It's definitely wisdom that has been shared again and again, but it's also wisdom that human beings seem to forget again and again." Kirby Howell-Baptiste, who plays Death, reflected on the final episode: "I think it's a really fitting end, and it's really beautiful that we end where we began." She elaborated, "We start with a family dinner that kicks off the event, and we end with a family dinner, and it wraps everything up again." With the conclusion of this episode, fans are left wondering about the destiny of The Sandman series. Will there be a Sandman season 3? Regrettably, the journey ends here. Netflix has confirmed that The Sandman will wrap up with its second season, as announced back in January. The mastermind behind The Sandman, showrunner Heinberg, revealed he had envisioned just two seasons for the fantastical saga. Heinberg disclosed his decision was made well before summer 2023, which marked the commencement of filming for the show's second chapter.

"We are extremely grateful to Netflix for bringing the team all back together and giving us the time and resources to make a faithful adaptation in a way that we hope will surprise and delight the comics' loyal readers as well as fans of our show." Reflecting on the production of The Sandman's final season, Heinberg told Tudum: "Knowing this was our final season - knowing where we were going, story-wise - allowed us to prep and plan to use our time and budget to the fullest. "And to enjoy the process, and each other, as much as possible since we knew this was going to be the last time we'd all be working together to tell this extraordinary and mad and moving story." Despite the conclusion of The Sandman, Heinberg admitted to Variety that he would "instantly" seize any opportunity to create further instalments if given the chance. The writer expressed his eagerness to pen the series "for as long as they would let me". He elaborated on the boundless potential of The Sandman universe, stating he could do "anything" with the narrative, making it humorous, romantic, or frightening, while delving into various genres. Heinberg shared his sorrow over The Sandman concluding, describing the experience as a "creative dream" for him.

I need a Netflix 'The Sandman' spinoff with these two characters
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. "The Sandman" season 2 has officially ended ... mostly. Sure, technically the season — and series — ends next week with a bonus episode, "Death: The High Cost of Living." That hits Netflix next week on July 31. However, the story of Dream of the Endless, and all the other characters we've met along the show's 22 episodes to date, has essentially concluded as of this morning. But it shouldn't be the end for two characters in particular: Johanna Constantine (Jenna Coleman) and the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook). For those of you who haven't watched the five-episode "The Sandman" season 2, volume 2, don't worry. I don't plan to spoil anything of note here. While some of you may be surprised to see The Corinthian return from season 1, the news of Holbrook's return hasn't been a secret for a while now. But what was a secret, until I started watching this latest batch of episodes, was that Coleman and Holbrook are electric on screen together. Now that I know this, I'm here to convince you, and any Netflix executive reading this, that we need more from Constantine and The Corinthian — it can't end with "The Sandman" season 2. Boyd Holbrook and Jenna Coleman are excellent together Before filming got underway on season 2, there were signs pointing to the return of Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian. At the time, that surprised me, given that the show was covering two volumes of the "Sandman" comics per season, and The Corinthian doesn't appear until the penultimate volume of the comics. Fast forward to today, and now we know that The Corinthian still doesn't return until toward the end of Dream's story. It just turned out that the show was renewed for season 2 and then subsequently canceled, so the story concluded sooner than season 1's pace projected. But that's OK, because we got Holbrook's excellent portrayal of The Corinthian back on screen. We also got to see his palpable on-screen chemistry with Jenna Coleman, who plays the occult detective Johanna Constantine, and that was a revelation. We were introduced to Coleman's take on the character made famous by Keanu Reeves and Matt Ryan as John Constantine in season 1, and it worked. In her stint with The Corinthian in season 2, though, she shines alongside Holbrook. There's a smoldering attraction that is complicated by a couple of factors. First, the original Corinthian was a serial killer, so everyone is a bit on edge around this reincarnation. Second, he lacks any subtlety when it comes to his advances on Johanna during their brief time together. And yet, it works. By the end of their arc, there's a clear attraction on both sides, and you're emotionally invested not only in both characters, but their budding relationship with each other. That's why we need more from these two characters, and history indicates there's at least some appetite for it. There's an appetite for more stories from this part of the DC Comics universe "The Sandman" launched as part of DC Comics, but was shifted to DC's Vertigo imprint partway through its run. This darker sub-label, now known as DC Black Label, produces comics that are aimed at more mature audiences. If DC Comics is network television, Black Label is HBO. This imprint has also produced multiple TV and film adaptations. "The Sandman," "Lucifer," "Watchmen" — the list is genuinely too long for me to write out in full in this article. Of course, another character to feature prominently? None other than the antihero Constantine. Including their appearance in "The Sandman," Constantine has appeared in 10 shows and films. Case in point that people want more of these stories? A Johanna Constantine spin-off was in early stages of development prior to "The Sandman" being canceled by Netflix (h/t The Hollywood Reporter). Dear Netflix, please give me 'Constantine & The Corinthian: Dark Detectives' Look, I get it. The sheer amount of CGI in "The Sandman" made it expensive. To say that Neil Gaiman is a toxic property these days would be an understatement. I understand why Netflix would want to leave this universe behind. But it also knows what a draw these shows can be. The streaming service saved "Lucifer" back in 2018, giving it life for another three seasons. I'm not saying make this a CGI-filled prestige drama. I'd personally make it a procedural, like "Bones," but with Joanna Constatine and The Corinthian at the center. Maybe it can be 'Constantine & The Corinthian: Dark Detectives'? It's a working title — we can workshop it. Just let us continue to love these characters that "The Sandman" brought to life.

'The Sandman' season 2 is awesome — and now I want a Netflix spinoff with these two characters
"The Sandman" season 2 has officially ended ... mostly. Yes, there's still a pesky bonus episode, "Death: The High Cost of Living," that hits Netflix next week on July 31. But the story of Dream of the Endless, and all the other characters we've met along the show's 22 episodes to date, has concluded, even if we're going to see some of them one last time. But after watching the second half of this season, I'm not convinced this should be the end. Or at least, it shouldn't be the end for two characters in particular: Johanna Constantine (Jenna Coleman) and The Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook). For those of you who haven't watched the five-episode "The Sandman" season 2, volume 2, don't worry. I don't plan to spoil anything of note here.
