Netflix adds a bonus episode to The Sandman
The bonus two-part episode of The Sandman is written by Catharine Smyth-McMullen. It is executive produced by creators Gaiman and David S. Goyer. Showrunner Allan Heinberg also executive produces.
It has been two weeks since The Sandman premiered, and it is still at the top of Netflix. Despite being a mega-hit, the adaption of the popular comics has not been renewed for a second season.
Sturridge leads the series. He is joined by Patton Oswalt, Boyd Holbrook (Narcos), Vivienne Acheampong (The Witches), Mason Alexander Park (Cowboy Bebop), and in her acting debut, Vanesu Samunyai. All episodes of The Sandman are available on Netflix.
