'The Sandman' Trailer: Netflix Brings Neil Gaiman's Comic Series to Life

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Netflix has released an official teaser trailer for The Sandman, based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman. Let’s take a look.

I feel like this has been in the works forever. Now that it’s finally here I can safely say that I’ll give this a shot. Although, I feel like I should probably dive into the comics first. (Someone, tell me if I should read the comics before watching the series.)

Plot Synopsis:

There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities — both cosmic and human — along the way.

The Sandman begins streaming on August 5, 2022 on Netflix.
