The Sandman Season 2, Volume 2 arrives on Netflix on July 24, and the streamer has now released a teaser for what will be the final 6 episodes of the series.

Spoilers follow.

In the Vol. 1 finale, Morpheus spilled "Family Blood" when he finally granted his son Orpheus peace centuries after his body was torn to pieces by the Maenads. This act incurs the wrath of The Kindly Ones, who are now within their rights to exact vengeance again the Dream Lord and lay waste to the Dreaming in the process.

During a recent interview with Tudum, Tom Sturridge weighed-in on Morpheus' decision to end his son's life and the fact that he was fully aware of the ramifications.

“Dream knows what is going to happen, and he knows the price that will be paid. [He’s] ultimately doing something beautiful and giving his son the most important thing. But the consequences are so enormous that it is a great burden.”

Dream won't be giving up without a fight, however, and we see that he does have some kind of plan that involves recreating his most terrifying nightmare, The Corinthian.

Check out the new promo at the link below.

An updated synopsis reads: “After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of ‘The Sandman’ will tell Dream’s story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.”

We had assumed that the recent accusations against Neil Gaiman might lead to the show being cancelled, but Variety claimed that "the second season was intended to be the last prior to filming."

Whether this is accurate or not, fans of the acclaimed series are not happy. While it's true that excluding elements of the comic run that don't focus specifically on Morpheus would allow them to adapt more of the story, it'll be difficult to do justice to the later arcs with just one more season.

Season 2 stars Tom Sturridge, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester, Barry Sloane, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Ferdinand Kingsley, Stephen Fry, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Razane Jammal, Ruairi O’Connor, Freddie Fox, Clive Russell, Laurence O’Fuarain, Ann Skelly, Douglas Booth, Jack Gleeson, Indya Moore and Steve Coogan.

@Beer85 - Love his writing and the show is pretty good so far it just sucks he ended up being a creep

@Beer85 - Writing-wise it's a really good adaptation. Allan Heinberg, David Goyer and Gaiman himself. But the production and direction leaves a lot to be desired unfortunately.

But if Gaiman is cancelled then this might be the only adaptation we ever get so it'll have to do.

Saw 3 episodes of the new season - not a big fan tbh. Pacing is so rushed and it misses so much of the nuance and poetry of the comics in favour of bombast and spectacle. Sturridge feels like perfect casting in an adaptation that only scratches the surface of the source material.

Gaiman is such an awful POS though, feel like I might need a shower just for praising his old work

@tmp3 - But you don't, that's just cancel culture having an effect on you. Nobody is gonna think you're a sexual deviant for liking Gaiman's work. Or at least they shouldn't do.

I haven't caught up with the show. I'm currently hyping myself up for Superman with Superman-related marathons, so it'll have to wait until the weekend. But it's sad to hear that it's rushed. Expected too, unfortunately.

I guess that's what you get for truncating 8-11 volumes of work into one season after only adapting the first two volumes with the first season.

I haven’t seen S2 , Vol 1 yet nor read the books so the Corinthian coming back is surprising…

I’m happy for it though since I enjoyed him as a villain aswell as Boyd Holbrook’s performance.

Episodes 1-4 were meh imo, but I really liked 5 and 6. Orpheus story was very well done and his song was beautiful.

@Polaris - I thought it was good, not the best but an enjoyable watch for someone that hasn't read the comic. For someone so focused on his honor he really was a dipshit in the past

@NonPlayerC - I'm in the same boat as im not familiar with the source material. When the characters were introduced, I thought Desire was the worst! Until more and more of Dream got revealed lol!

@NonPlayerC - Doesn't make his work disingenuous though. People are nuanced. All that stuff comes from his soul. He just also happens to be a monster in other ways (allegedly).
