“The Sandman” comes to Netflix this August 5.
The 10-episode series revolves around the Sandman, a.k.a. Dream (Tom Sturridge), the powerful cosmic being who controls all our dreams. Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for over a century, and he must journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.
“The Sandman,” based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman, is a rich, character-driven blend of myth and dark fantasy woven together over the course of ten epic chapters following Dream’s many adventures.
Developed and executive produced by Gaiman, showrunner Allan Heinberg, and David S. Goyer, THE SANDMAN is produced by Warner Bros. Television.
The series also stars Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Stephen Fry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Vanesu Samunyai (formerly known as “Kyo Ra”), John Cameron Mitchell, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Joely Richardson, Niamh Walsh, Sandra James-Young and Razane Jammal.
Out of their panel at Geeked Week, Neil Gaiman, Allan Heinberg and the cast revealed the official teaser and the news that Mark Hamill will voice the beloved character Merv Pumpkinhead.
