The Sandman Season 2 Could Spark Streaming War Between Warner Bros. Discovery CEO and Netflix

The Sandman has been a huge hit on Netflix and the series garnered a huge fanbase that when it was renewed by the streaming platform, everyone rejoiced. However, this renewal may also be the same reason why a streaming war could arise in the near future.

In a report from Deadline, it was revealed that Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav isn't happy with the DC titles being on Netflix because of payment terms considering that deals with Netflix are structured to pay the producers spanning from 18 to 24 months.

Where does The Sandman Season 2 fit in the issue? Coming from a DC comic, the show being renewed for another run could mean an impending streaming war.

Reportedly, Zaslav also expressed displeasure from his colleagues in the company which quite resulted in a stir of controversies, rumors, and speculations online. Whether this would spell chaos would be something that may possibly arrive in the near future.
