No comments

In August of 2022, Netflix debuted its first season of the critically acclaimed fantasy series, The Sandman, based on the Neil Gaiman comic book series. A year and a half later, Netflix has already completed most of the filming for the hotly anticipated second season. Many fan-favorite characters who appeared in Season 1 are set to return, led by series star Tom Sturridge (Dream), but Season 2 will also introduce many new faces.

This article will list all the new castings that have been uncovered so far. We’ll update the list from time to time as we uncover more.
