Warning: SPOILERS for The Sandman Season 1
For audiences who experiencedThe Sandman on Netflix but haven't read Neil Gaiman's beloved DC Comics graphic novel series, The Sandman season 2 will be even more monumental for Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge). The Sandman season 1 adapted Gaiman's first two collected volumes, Preludes and Nocturnes and The Doll's House, which introduced major characters like Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), Desire (Mason Alexander Park), and Lucifer Morningstar (Gwendoline Christie), who will play an even more impactful role in The Sandman season 2.
The Sandman season 1 was broken up into two distinct sections adapting the first two graphic novel volumes. The first five episodes of The Sandman encompassed Preludes and Nocturnes, which depicted Dream's imprisonment for over a century and his quest to rebuild his broken realm, the Dreaming, by regaining his stolen symbols of office — his ruby, his pouch of dream sand, and his helmet — upon his escape. The Sandman episode 6, «The Sound of Her Wings,» was an epilogue that introduced Death and Morpheus' immortal friend, Hob Gadling (Ferdinand Kingsley). The final four episodes of The Sandman season 1 adapted The Doll's House, which introduced the Dream Vortex named Rose Walker (Vanesu Samunyai), the unnamed baby of Lyta Hall (Razane Jammal) who was born in the Dreaming, and featured Dream's final showdown with the rogue nightmare serial killer, The Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook).
