Meet the new faces of the Endless in the next season of THE SANDMAN

After years in development, Neil Gaiman’s beloved comic book finally aired as a Netflix television series in 2022. The Sandman stars Sturridge as Dream, aka the titular Sandman, “the powerful cosmic being who controls all our dreams.” After being captured and held prisoner for over a century, Dream must “journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.”

The Sandman was developed and executive produced by Gaiman, David S. Goyer, and Allan Heinberg. The first 10 episodes premiered on August 5, 2022, with an 11th episode arriving weeks later on August 19. In November 2022, Netflix renewed The Sandman for a second season. Dead Boy Detectives, another Netflix show based on a comic series from Gaiman, premiered on April 25, 2024. Dead Boy Detectives is set in the same universe as The Sandman.

There is no release date for The Sandman season 2.

Everything you need to know about Severance season 2

Mark, Dylan, Irving, and Helly in the Lumon office on Apple TV+ series Severance.

In February 2022, audiences discovered the mysterious world at Lumon Industries with the premiere of the Apple TV+ sci-fi drama Severance. At Lumon, several employees undergo "severance," a medical procedure that separates your work memories from your life on the outside ("outies"). Severed employees ("innies") cannot remember anything about themselves once they enter work. The severed employees essentially live two different lives.

Season 1 follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and his co-workers, who all underwent severance. When a new employee named Helly (Britt Lower) joins the company, Mark begins to question Lumon's motives, which may or may not be sinister. Severance season 1 premiered to universal acclaim from critics, resulting in 14 Emmy nominations. Season 2 is on the way. Here's everything we know so far.

Andor is arguably Lucasfilm's crowning achievement of the 21st century. While that may be up for debate, there's no denying the success of Andor season 1, culminating with universal acclaim from critics and eight Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.

Created by Tony Gilroy, Andor stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, the petty thief who will eventually become a key leader and spy for the Rebel Alliance. Andor is a prequel set five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the film where Luna first introduced audiences to Cassian. It's been a long time since Andor season 1 ended in November 2022. Slowly but surely, season 2 is on the way. Below is everything you need to know about Andor season 2.
