Fans of Neil Gaiman's comic book series "The Sandman" have been waiting for a filmed adaptation for a long, long time. The series debuted at DC Comics in 1989 and completed its initial run in 1996. There have been several attempts at adapting the mammoth work into movies or TV shows, but they've never panned out. Finally, Netflix has released the teaser trailer for "The Sandman" TV series, and fans of the Endless can truly get excited.
A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama, and legend are seamlessly interwoven, 'The Sandman' follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he's made during his vast existence. Morpheus is one of the Endless, seven beings who are even more timeless than gods. Because the Endless are, well, endless, they tend to interact with people from all periods of history — including the deities of any specific time. Gods are real in "The Sandman," but they mostly try to avoid the Endless.
A "Sandman" adaptation has been in development hell for 25 years, so it's amazing to finally see the characters of Gaiman's incredible story brought to life. The Netflix series will adapt stories from the first two graphic novels in "The Sandman:" "Preludes and Nocturnes" and "The Doll's House." Gaiman has also spoken about cats being cast for the series, so some fans think the beloved story "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" from the third graphic novel, "Dream Country," will also be shown in "The Sandman" season 1.
