After a three-year hiatus, Netflix’s series The Sandman has sprung back to life and, hand-in-hand with the launch of its eagerly awaited second season, the series’ impressive Rotten Tomatoes rating has been unveiled. However, it may still need to travel a significant distance before it can equal the success of its inaugural season.
As a devoted cinema enthusiast, let me share some exciting tidbits about “The Sandman.” This captivating masterpiece was penned by Neil Gaiman and graced the pages from 1989 to 1996 under DC Comics’ publication. Initially, a movie adaptation was planned in 1991, but it faced developmental challenges for years, ultimately failing to materialize.
Fast-forwarding to 2019, Warner Bros made an astute decision to focus on television instead of the silver screen and struck a deal with Netflix to bring the series to life. The wait was finally over when “The Sandman” premiered in 2022, garnering immense support from DC fans. This adoration led to the renewal of the series for a second season.
The announcement of season 2 sent waves of joy throughout the fandom, who eagerly anticipated more of its enchanting supernatural narratives. However, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this will be “The Sandman’s” swan song, as a season 3 isn’t in the cards. Nevertheless, most critics and fans are relishing what season 2 has to offer…for now, at least!
The Sandman Season 2 Debuts With a Healthy 75% Rotten Tomatoes Rating
Previously mentioned, the second season of “The Sandman” will conclude Dream’s narrative, but don’t expect it to depart immediately. Instead, the series will release in two parts, with an additional bonus episode titled “The Sandman Presents: Death: The High Cost of Living” focusing on Dream’s wise sister, set for release at the end of July. Although all the episodes haven’t been released yet, it’s worth noting that the Rotten Tomatoes score for “The Sandman season 2” currently stands at a commendable 74%. This is exciting news, given the long wait fans have endured to witness Dream again, as well as their first glance at Destiny and the rest of the Endless. However, as the story progresses, this score may fluctuate, potentially improving or decreasing.
In the first season of “The Sandman,” it received an impressive 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with both fans and critics applauding its faithful depiction of a cherished tale and calling it a “master class in adapting a popular comic book series.” Therefore, it appears that season 2 has some ground to cover. However, unlike the first season which was released all at once on Netflix without any breaks, season 2’s success will depend on its ability to maintain viewer interest when it premieres.
In the second series, fans of Sandman can expect storylines from volumes The Season of Mists and Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman. These tales will transport viewers to various realms such as Hades (the underworld), Ancient Greece, Elizabethan England, and the French Revolution. They’ll also meet a host of supernatural beings including demons, fairies, and gods. Despite potential viewership issues due to recent allegations against Neil Gaiman, let’s hope that Sandman’s grand finale will be well-received by fans.
On July 3, 2025, the first part of The Sandman Season 2 became available on Netflix. The second part, Volume 2, is set to be released on July 24, 2025.
