In a recent interview with Empire, Gaiman broke down some of the individual episodes more specifically.

That’s the second major storyline from Gaiman’s series, and it carries long-term ramifications for the rest of the story. The season will also get into “a little bit more” from the comics, which will at least include Volume 2, The Doll’s House. We learn this important lesson the first time we meet Morpheus.Īccording to Gaiman, the show’s first season, which Netflix strangely says will be “ten episodes (plus one),” will cover the comics’ first volume, Preludes and Nocturnes this spans issues one through eight. And though they are powerful, they are not totally invulnerable, all-knowing, or free from the rules of the universe. They each rule over a different realm of existence. They are “ the anthropomorphic embodiments of powerful natural forces” who predate gods. The titular Sandman is one of the seven siblings known as the Endless. 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. 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. Despite watching and studying plenty of the most critically acclaimed movies, Jess is a sucker for a B-list romcom and believes everyone needs to watch the enjoyably awful movies, for nothing more than pure escapism.A further synopsis shares: 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.

Jess is aspiring to build a career in the screen industry, particularly in development, production and screenwriting, as well as continuing to write about the movies and shows she loves. Jess loves to analyze and pick out the small details in movies and tv shows Screen Rant has provided Jess with the perfect outlet for these findings, much to the relief of her friends who no longer have to listen to them. Combining her education and passion for film and TV, Jess recently joined the Screen Rant team as a features writer to further explore all the different worlds the screen offers. After years of watching anything from a 40s film noir classic to a Harry Potter adventure (more than enough times), Jess' love of the screen led her to recently receive a Masters degree in Film, TV and Screen Industries from the University of Nottingham.
