Netflix revealed more about the new series in a press release.
“Dream Dangerously. Enter the world of THE SANDMAN on August 5, only on Netflix.
There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep – a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities – both cosmic and human – along the way.
Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman, THE SANDMAN 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.”

What do you think? Are you planning to check out The Sandman on Netflix next month?
It’s interesting that they’re portraying ME as a female in this version of the story, even though the “Lucifer” series (previously seen on Netflix) was based on Sandman, and I was male in that show. In fact, Tom Ellis was probably the best depiction of my true, most unholy self that I have seen on TV so far.
It should be interesting to see how this new spin on my character holds up
Look forward to seeing it new series of DC comics on Netflix hopefully good as comics. It’s about time superhero drama enjoy it and love it. Too bad cancelled marvel comics series really loved it.
