Fans of Neil Gaiman are going to get their wish, thanks to Netflix. And, to put it another way, their prayers have been answered. The Sandman, a classic DC comic book by the artist, is being developed into a series on the streaming platform. After years of fruitless efforts to adapt Morpheus’ tale for the big screen. Let’s go through what we understand about The Sandman comic book while we’re in the series. The Sandman premiered in 1989 with book #1, and the current protagonist ran for 75 volumes till 1996. (Other supplemental issues followed, notably Finale, a crucial prelude.) Neil Gaiman’s iconic, the weird comic book collection is described as well as any in the show’s original movie script.
The Sandman storyline
A team of secret societies tries to catch and confine Death’s soul in 1916. They alternatively grasp Death’s family Fantasy. Morpheus, a.k.a. The Sandman due to a flaw in one‘s stunning strike. Decades of mayhem ensue, during all of which visions are destroyed and mankind lives in a frenzied dread of the nighttime, till Dream finally breaks free from his enchanted captivity and sets off in pursuit of the magical artifacts that the occultists robbed from him. In his hunt for an identification that has been unknown to him for generations, he reunites with historical biblical characters (Connor and Abel, the demon), and also the rest of the family of demons (Passion, Fate, Depression, Mortality).
The very first season will most probably adjust the first two chapters of Gaiman’s graphic novel, “Preludes and Nocturnes” and “The Doll’s House” (Issues #1#16), which also follow Dream’s get away from the wizards and lookup for his particles of control, as well as his travels into Eternal damnation to reunite with his long lost family members and figure something out about a strange mystical system that is trying to destroy his creative works. Considering that, although that is the same comic book hero, Lucifer in this series is performed by an entirely different performer, it’s unlikely.
For years, The Sandman’s network of diehard fans had hoped that a radio or tv company will ultimately convert Neil Gaiman’s DC supernatural comic, which is more of a philosophical discussion on the essence of divine beings and living beings than a superhuman graphic novel. The great news is that Netflix is actually doing it, and it will be available in the future this year. (The bad news is that we’ve had a couple of months to prepare.)

Thus far, no distribution date has been set, that is to be expected this near to a Netflix series’s prospective launch. We’ll likely find out in the following months.
