The following contains spoilers for The Sandman Season 1, now streaming on Netflix.
The Sandman co-creator Neil Gaiman recently revealed that he's already mulling over which actors could portray Morpheus' siblings Destruction and Delirium in the Netflix show's second season.
Gaiman described how he currently bombards fellow executive producer and series co-developer Allan Heinberg with casting suggestions during an interview with Variety. "Right now, what we’re doing is every time I think of or run into or pass or notice an actor who could be either a Destruction or a Delirium, Allan gets an email," he said. Along with Destiny, Destruction and Delirium are the only Endless family members yet to appear in The Sandman, with Dream, Death, Desire and Despair portrayed in Season 1 by Tom Sturridge, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park and Donna Preston, respectively.
Gaiman recently teased that The Sandman Season 2 has more in store for fans than the arrival of the lord of dreams' remaining brothers and sisters, though. The celebrated scribe hyped up the rematch between Dream and Lucifer Morningstar, which will take its cues from the original comics "Season of Mists" story arc by Gaiman, Kelley Jones and Malcolm Jones III. Gaiman added that viewers unfamiliar with the Sandman comics will likely be caught off guard when the live-action version of the Dream/Lucifer showdown finally unfolds. "Little do they know what's going to happen and that they are simply not prepared for where it's gonna go," he said.
Neil Gaiman Has Big Plans for The Sandman
Although The Sandman Season 2 isn't enough officially greenlit yet, Gaiman already has big plans for the Netflix series' future. Not only did he confirm his intention to adapt the main 75-issue DC Comics run, but Gaiman also expressed interest in bringing various Sandman side projects to the screen, as well. This includes 1999 novella The Sandman: The Dream Hunters, 2003 graphic novel anthology The Sandman: Endless Nights and 2013 prequel miniseries The Sandman: Overture. Gaiman noted that while elements of Endless Nights will likely be woven into The Sandman's upcoming seasons, stories like The Dream Hunters may require their own standalone specials, instead.
He also mentioned the possibility of Sandman spinoff shows headlined by Death and Johanna Constantine, respectively. Gaiman noted that he wasn't the only person close to the production intrigued by the prospect of a Constantine series, either. "Anybody who has seen Sandman Episode 3 has sidled over to us at some point or other in the last six months and said, 'Do you think there's any possibility that we could do a Johanna Constantine show with Jenna Coleman?'" he said.
