"Hello Dream... are you well?"
Netflix has released a promo to give us a little taste of what's to come during Geeked Week next month, and the video includes new footage from the likes of The Umbrella Academy, Sweet Tooth, Locke & Key, Shadow and Bone, Stranger Things and The Sandman!
We get some brief glimpses of Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) throughout, but then right at the end around the 1:40 mark, Gwendoline Christie's (Game of Thrones) Lucifer makes their grand entrance.
The Lord of Hell only makes a single appearance in the first comic book story arc, so unless they've made a few changes to expand her role, there's a chance Christie will only feature in one episode.
The Sandman also stars Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, Logan actor Boyd Holbrook as sadistic escaped nightmare The Corinthian, Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) as black magician Roderick Burgess, and Asim Chaudhry (Black Mirror) and Sanjeeve Bhaskar (Yesterday) as Abel and Cain, respectively.
We recently learned that Desire and Despair will be played by Mason Alexander Park and Donna Preston, respectively, while Joely Richardson will play Ethel Cripps, and David Thewlis will take on the role of her son John Dee, aka the deranged Dr. Destiny. Jenna Coleman will play John Constantine's great-great-great grandmother, Lady Johanna Constantine.
The 11-episode first season of The Sandman will adapt the first arc of the Vertigo comics series, "Preludes and Nocturnes." No premiere date has been announced, but it is expected to hit Netflix later this year.
