Neil Gaiman doesn’t sound too optimistic about the pricey Sandman getting another season
He got his helmet, ruby, and bag of sand, but when will Dream get his second season?
With all of the troubles at HBO Max, it can be easy to forget that it was only a few months ago that Netflix was going through a lean period of its own, which has led to the streaming service cutting back on pricy, riskier endeavors in favor of lowest-common-denominator genre fare that everyone will probably stream at least once (if only out of obligation). This new, more cautious attitude might end up scaring the service off of what could be another smash-hit TV series, though, with Neil Gaiman noting on Twitter that the streamer’s new The Sandman adaptation is going to have to “perform incredibly well” if it’s going to convince Netflix to sign off on another season—and even after two weeks of being the biggest show in the world, “that still may not be enough.”
