It took 32 years for ‘The Sandman‘ to emerge to prominence. Yes, the highly renowned DC comic The Sandman, published by Neil Gaiman, is getting a series adaptation. Netflix released the release date and teaser for the most anticipated DC project right now at the 2022 Geeked Week Event. It is regarded as the finest comic book ever created among DC Universe fans. The wait is nearly over, as The Sandman will be available on Netflix in August.
Neil Gaiman created the Sandman comic book series, which debuted in 1989. It follows Morpheus, alias Dream, on his escapades. He is one of the seven eternal siblings in charge of preserving reality. Dream, as the King of the Nightmare Realms, is the one who causes mankind to dream, whether their eyes are closed or they are visualising a better future for themselves.
He is also known as the Lord of Nightmares, and he punishes mankind who offend him. The comic book series became an instant classic and smash. It has been in the works for many years to be adapted into a live-action film. The film was never completed and was repeatedly postponed, but the action thriller is now arriving in the shape of Netflix’s The Sandman, which stars Tom Sturridge as the central character.

The Sandman: Trailer and Expected Plot
Fans have been waiting for more images from The Sandman since the teaser was published last year, and now Netflix has released a new video tied to the programme, which has made fans go wild with excitement. Because the subject is fresh, the trailer includes quick glimpses to help viewers examine and comprehend the new plot. The trailer does an excellent job of portraying Sturridge as the Lord of Dreams.
According to Gaiman’s The Sandman, the human world is ruled by seven brothers, each with their own meaning. Dream, Despair, Desire, Death, Destiny, Delirium, and Destruction are the seven. The programme will be based on the comic book version of the narrative, in which Morpheus, also known as Dream and the Lord of Nightmares, is kidnapped by a cult in the early 1900s and it takes over a century for him to be freed. The plot will follow his exploits after escaping from the Human Realm.
The Nightmare Kingdom crumbled in his absence owing to a lack of leadership. This had a negative impact on humans’ ability to dream, but the worst was yet to come. Since Dream was imprisoned, many of the nightmares he deals with have escaped and reached Earth. What should you anticipate from nightmares? They’re awful! Corinthian, one of these horrors, becomes a serial murderer in the realm of humans on Earth.
