The dark fantasy saga returns with its second and final season, and Volume 1 (Episodes 1 to 6) started streaming from today, July 3, at 12:30 PM IST, exclusively on Netflix India. Fans have waited patiently since the show's announcement, and now the journey of Morpheus continues with deeper mythological layers and emotional twists.

The Sandman Season 2: Plot
Based on Neil Gaiman’s celebrated graphic novels, The Sandman Season 2 takes viewers through the most iconic story arcs—Season of Mists, Brief Lives, and The Kindly Ones. After restoring the Dreaming and defeating the Corinthian, Morpheus must now confront the consequences of his past, including a perilous return to Hell after Lucifer Morningstar abdicates her throne.
This cosmic ripple unleashes conflict across realms as gods, magical beings, and mortals get drawn into Dream’s fate. The new season also explores Dream's strained relationships with his immortal siblings—Destiny, Delirium, and Destruction—as personal guilt, family ties, and ancient grudges start unravelling the fabric of reality.
