The first footage from The Sandman live-action TV series has been revealed as part of Netflix's Tudum fan event. This is our very first look at the world of the classic and beloved DC/Vertigo comic brought to life, and so a major moment for the series' fans.
Sandman creator and series Executive Producer Neil Gaiman was joined by cast members Tom Sturridge (Dream), and Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Death) to reveal the exclusive footage.
In the below clip, we hear Charles Dance's Roderick Burgess talk about summoning and imprisoning Death itself. He continues to offer items - a coin made from a stone, a feather pulled from an angel's wing, the blood from his veins - in his attempt to bring forward Death. While he doesn't quite get Death, nor his family members Desire, Destiny, or Despair, he does summon Tom Sturridge's Dream of the Endless.
Furthermore, the Tudum panel revealed that new Sandman social pages will allow fans to discover brand new posters featuring the show's characters.
After years of potential movies and shows, Netflix greenlit a live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman in 2019. The 10-episode series will be executive produced by Gaiman and David Goyer, and showrun by Wonder Woman writer Allan Heinberg. This will be a contemporary retelling of the comic, with significant changes to the original story.
The Sandman cast includes Tom Sturridge as Morpheus, AKA Dream of the Endless, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste as his sibling, Death.
Previously, Netflix showed a behind-the-scenes look at the props and sets of The Sandman, including Dream's iconic gas-mask-like helmet and the Undercroft.
