The Sandmanfans were incredibly disappointed when Netflix announced that the hit fantasy series would come to an end after its second season, despite having enough source material to support at least four more. The second season drops on Netflix next month, and fans are gearing up for the beginning of the end forThe Sandman. Ahead of its release, Netflix has teased what is in store for the new and final season by revealing the episode titles. The news also comes with a slight bonus, as Season 2 technically won’t be the last ofThe Sandmanbecause Netflix has another bonus episode in store.
Per What’s On Netflix, the streamer has released the official episode titles for thefinal ever season ofThe Sandman.Season 2 will run for a total of 11 episodes. Given the vast quantity of source material still left to adapt, fans have questioned how Netflix will cut years' worth of comic books down into a single season, while satisfyingly bringing the series to a close. The episode titles have somewhat clued fans in as to how Netflix will achieve this. Hint: it involves a lot of changes.
