Fans in India can catch the latest volume on the same day as the global release. Season 2 will arrive in two parts, with Volume 1 paving the way for an epic conclusion in Volume 2 (release date TBA).
What Is The Sandman About?
The series follows Morpheus, the King of Dreams and one of the seven immortal siblings known as the Endless. After being imprisoned in 1916 by a dark occult ritual, he breaks free after over a century of captivity and returns to restore his collapsing realm—The Dreaming.
While Season 1 focused on Morpheus reclaiming his stolen tools and rebuilding his realm, Season 2 dives deeper into the psychological and emotional burdens of his past. Old enemies resurface, consequences of ancient choices come knocking, and Dream must face truths he long buried.

Season 2 Plot: What Awaits in Volume 1?
Showrunner Allan Heinberg confirmed that Season 2 adapts the remaining parts of the original Dream-focused comics by Neil Gaiman.
In his own words: “The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream’s story, and back in 2022, we knew we only had enough story for one more season.”
As Morpheus rebuilds the Dreaming, old wounds resurface. Mistakes of the past—neglected responsibilities, failed relationships, and ignored prophecies—begin to unravel the threads of his realm once again. And this time, the consequences will not only impact him, but all of existence.
Why Is The Sandman Ending with Season 2?
The decision wasn’t driven by ratings but narrative integrity. The creative team chose to end the show after faithfully adapting the “Dream Saga” from the original comics.
“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,” Heinberg said.
