After appearing in only one Season 1 episode, Kirby Howell-Baptiste has shared that her character, Death of the Endless, will appear a lot more in The Sandman Season 2.
During an interview with Collider, the actor confirmed that she will be “in more [Season 2] episodes. Death is a large part of this season and there are some incredible stories with the family that I’m very, very excited for fans to see.”
She also teased that Sandman fans will end up loving Season 2 more than Season 1, adding, “It’s been fantastic going back actually, because this season, I think fans will be very excited for the episodes. It feels like the show is a two-way street, it’s not just us putting something out, it’s Neil listening, responding to the fans, and then, in turn, giving them the things that they are asking for, yelling for, begging for.”
She continued, “So I think fans are gonna be really excited to have these stories expanded and have the complexities, and the family and, and all of those dynamics, see them even more this season, this continuation of episodes.”
The Sandman adapts Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed comic
The Sandman is based on the critically acclaimed DC Comics series of the same name created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg and published between 1989 and 1996. The first season, consisting of 11 episodes, was released on Netflix in August 2022.
Tom Sturridge portrays the title character, Lord Morpheus/Dream, with Boyd Holbrook, Vivienne Acheampong, and Patton Oswalt co-starring as the Corinthian, Lucienne, and Matthew the Raven, respectively.
Netflix renewed the series for a second season in November 2022, which began production in June 2023. Filming was temporarily halted due to the actors’ strike before resuming that November. At this time, it is not known when Season 2 might premiere on the streaming service.
The Sandman is available to stream on Netflix.
