Yahoo News The Sandman boss Neil Gaiman shares exciting season 2 update
Netflix hit The Sandman is in the thick of pre-production on season 2.
Original author Neil Gaiman, whose magical mind also conjured up American Gods, Neverwhere and Good Omens, revealed as much during a recent exchange on Tumblr.
A fan message read: "I've not seen or heard much news on the sandman season 2, could you perhaps give us a little news on how that's coming on if that's okay? thanks!"

"Scripts are written," Gaiman replied. "We are casting the first episode we will be shooting. Sets are being designed."
Season 2 of this comic book adaptation will once again see Tom Sturridge ruling the dream realm as Lord Morpheus, a role that forced the actor to drastically alter his body.
"There's so many aspects of his physicality that were important to me, simply because he doesn't express himself traditionally, often. And so the way that he moves, I think, could be an enlightening way of how he can articulate himself," he exclusively told Digital Spy last year.

"I wanted to build a body that felt like a creature and was true to the images that are in the comics. Which meant just kind of… It’s someone whose flesh is burnt away, and is just sinew and bone."
The Irma Vep star further explained: "As far as how difficult that was to achieve – it was in the sense that it required discipline and working out and not eating that much. But actually, acting is such an ephemeral job.
"We're constantly trying to catch clouds when we go to work. To work out is really easy. Because you just do the six things they tell you to do, and it happens."
The Sandman season 1 is streaming on Netflix.
