After the cliffhanging ending of The Sandman Season 2 Volume 1, fans are bracing for the possibility of Dream dying. After all, the first six episodes built up to a moment that shattered one of the oldest rules in the realm of the Endless. Now, with Volume 2 arriving on July 24, all eyes are on what that choice might cost him and whether the King of Dreams is running out of time.
Will Dream aka Morpheus die in The Sandman Season 2?
The Sandman Season 2 Volume 1 thrusts Dream into an unexpected journey across realms, not out of duty, but out of persuasion, courtesy of his eccentric sister Delirium. They go to find their estranged brother Destruction, but that leads him to go through his son Orpheus, whom he swore never to see.
Orpheus, still just a talking head centuries after losing his body and his love Eurydice, asks for one final favor: death. And this time, Dream says yes. But it breaks the one rule the Endless are never supposed to violate, which is not to spill family blood. Then comes the cut to the three Fates, one snipping a black thread and uttering, “Got to finish sometime.” It’s a cryptic but damning warning.
Now, with the recent release of The Sandman Season 2 Volume 2 trailer, fans see that the final five episodes will lean hard into the fallout of Dream’s decision. Dream looks haunted, hunted, and pushed to the edge. The Dreaming is in chaos. Allies like Nuala prepare for war. The Corinthian is back. And Dream? He’s trying to hold his world together while fate inches closer.
Moreover, showrunner Allan Heinberg hinted that Season 2 is all about accountability. “Sooner or later, we all have to reckon with the fact that the struggles we face are often of our own making. Dream must now figure out what to do about it,” he told Netflix.
Now, whether Dream dies, evolves, or breaks even further, The Sandman Season 2 Volume 2 won’t let him walk away untouched.
