The Sandman stars Tom Sturridge as Dream, the personification of dreams and nightmares, who sets out to restore order to his realm after being imprisoned for over a century. The series is based on Neil Gaiman’s iconic series of comic books, originally published during the ’90s.

In addition to Sturridge, the series also stars Boyd Holbrook, Vivienne Acheampong, Patton Oswalt, David Thewlis, Jenna Coleman, Gwendoline Christie, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste. Gaiman developed the series for Netflix alongside David S. Goyer and Allan Heinberg after it spent years in the development hell.

The news of the show’s renewal started circling around after DC Comic’s Twitter page tweeted, “The dream continues. [The Sandman] will return with new episodes based on multiple volumes of the Neil Gaiman graphic novel to explore even more stories of the Endless.”

The tweet has since been deleted, but the show’s renewal makes sense since it proved to be quite a hit for Netflix. It premiered to positive reviews and topped Netflix’s Top 10 list for three weeks following its premiere on August 5.

The series centers on the master of dreams called Morpheus/Dream, who gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies in a place called the Dreaming. After being captured and held captive for over a century, he manages to break free and starts a journey across different worlds and timelines to restore order to the kingdom of the Dreaming.

There have been several attempts to adapt The Sandman over the years, but this is the first successful one. Neil Gaiman told the Comic-Con audience that he spent 30 years trying to stop bad adaptations from happening, but he’s putting his full trust in this one.

“The determination everywhere to make this and get it right has been absolutely a breath of fresh air. This is Sandman being made for people who love Sandman, by people who love Sandman… I feel like I’m on the cusp, and I cannot wait until people see this show,” explained the author.

The cast of The Sandman will be led by Tom Sturridge, and it will also include Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Stephen Fry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and many more. The first season will debut on Netflix on August 5 and will feature a total of 10 episodes.

The two actors announced Thursday that they are remounting Sea Wall/A Life — two solo monologues about fatherhood, loss and resilience. The limited run begins July 26 with performances scheduled to run through September 29 at the Hudson Theater. Opening night has been slated for August 8.

Carrie Cracknell is directing from a Simon Stephens and Nick Payne penned the screenplay.

“The longstanding artistic relationships we share and beautiful material from Nick and Simon make this production an especially meaningful collaborative journey,” said Gyllenhaal. “Carrie Cracknell has crafted a true theatrical event from two distinct monologues, which, together, shine a light on the universal experience and heart-filled exploration of the beauty of life and meaning of love. Tom and I are incredibly proud to bring this story to Broadway, and to be returning to the beautiful and historic Hudson Theatre.”

Tickets go on sale for the general public on May 6.
