The Sandman is a tv series based on the critically acclaimed comic book that has the same-named which was written by Neil Gaiman. The comic series had a very interesting premise that was praised by a lot of critics and fans alike for multiple reasons. It also won numerous awards some of which include the Hugo Award for Best Related Book and many more. When such a comic reaches such popularity a film or a tv adaptation is always possible which was also the case with The Sandman. Goyer pitched a film idea to Warner Bros. who greenlit the project and the executive producers of the show consisted of Neil Gaiman, David S. Goyer, and Allan Heinberg.
But the filming process of the show was taking too long as and it was then decided by Warner Bros. that The Sandman will now be a tv series rather than a film. Sometime after Netflix came into the picture as they signed a deal that said that they will be producing the show. The filming process of the show began in October 2020 but due to the Covid-19, it took a bit of time, and later it was revealed that the filming for the show ended in August of 2021. Now the release of the highly anticipated The Sandman is right around the corner and here is everything you need to know about it.
