Netflix has revealed the official trailer for The Sandman Season 2, the fantasy drama based on the DC Comics series by Neil Gaiman.
“After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds,” the official synopsis reads. “To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything.”
Netflix teases that the second and final season of The Sandman will tell “Dream’s story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.”
