While Netflix's adaptation of the acclaimed comic book series The Sandman is still in pre-production, co-creator Neil Gaiman has confirmed work is already underway for a potential second season.
Gaiman, who serves as a writer and executive producer on the planned television series, revealed he, fellow writer/executive producer David S. Goyer and showrunner Allan Heinberg have completed not just scripting the pilot episode but plotting two seasons worth of story.
"There are three of us, the showrunner Allan Heinberg, David Goyer and me, and we’ve just finished writing the first episode, and plotting and breaking down the first two seasons, so we’ll see what happens next," Gaiman told RadioTimes.
Created by Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo Comics in 1989, The Sandman followed Dream of the Endless as he reclaimed his throne following decades of imprisonment on Earth. Netflix ordered an 11-episode first season adapting the comic book series this summer.
The Sandman is an adaptation of the universally acclaimed Vertigo series of the same name by Neil Gaiman. The Netflix series is developed, co-written, and executive produced by Allan Heinberg, who also serves as the series' showrunner. Gaiman and David S. Goyer will both executive produce and co-write the series. No premiere date has currently been announced by Netflix.
