Netflix announced today that The Sandman will be coming to an end after its upcoming second season. The news comes over two years after the fantasy drama was renewed for what will now be its final run.

"The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream's story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season," showrunner Allan Heinberg told Netflix. "We are extremely grateful to Netflix for bringing the team all back together and giving us the time and resources to make a faithful adaptation in a way that we hope will surprise and delight the comics' loyal readers as well as fans of our show."

Based on the award-winning DC comic series, the show follows Morpheus, aka Dream, who is a powerful cosmic being who has the ability to control people's dreams. After he is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for decades, Dream escapes and journeys across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos caused during his absence.

Look for the final season of The Sandman later this year.
