Ever since Netflix confirmed Neil Gaiman's The Sandman series will be coming back for a second season, avid fans have been on edge. They've been waiting for an announcement or an update regarding the show's production status.
Unfortunately, there's been very little update on The Sandman series. This made some fans worried about whether the show has been canceled after all.
But thankfully, the show's creator Neil Gaiman recently answered a fan's request for "a little news" on the upcoming season. Here's what we know about the show so far.
The Sandman Season 2 Production Status
Over on Gaiman's Tumblr account, a fan asked for an update on the next batch of episodes. The seasoned writer revealed an exciting update on the show's progress:
"Scripts are written. We are casting the first episode we will be shooting. Sets are being designed."
This seems to echo the update that Mason Alexander Park gave earlier this year:
"We're gonna tackle the next huge chunk of stories in however long that might take."
Park, who stars in the show as Desire, said that they will start filming in the summer.
Will It Be Called The Sandman Season 2?
Contrary to common practice, The Sandman won't actually be referred to as a second season. Back in Fan Expo San Francisco, Park addressed this and said:
"Netflix has not gone on record as calling it a Season 2, on purpose. And so, I will, from now on and in the future, and possibly until the end of the universe not refer to it as Season 2 until we know what it is."
Park promises that whatever Netflix decides to call this season, it will come out "in a really cool way."
So there we have it. The cast and crew of the Netflix series are currently working on filming new episodes of The Sandman. For now, however, a release date has not yet been revealed.
We'll update this post once more information becomes available.
