Gracing TV screens around the world on August 5, the beloved series written by legendary writer Neil Gaiman, The Sandman is a dark fantasy story wrapped in rich detail and immersive story telling. For those who are unfamiliar, the official Netflix Release Date Announcement Trailer reads:
There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities — both cosmic and human — along the way.

If it doesn’t succeed, it won’t be for lack of trying on Netflix’s part. They’re promoting this as heavily as they do their top-level shows, like Stranger Things and Bridgerton.
According to Neil, the idea to replace John Constantine with Johanna Constantine came from the symmetry of double-casting her to play her present day incarnation and her ancestor we’ll see in some flashback stories. (The ability to get around John currently being claimed by JJ Abrams for his overdue Justice League Dark project is an added bonus.)
