Why Neil Gaiman Isn’t Confident About Sandman’s Future


The Sandman is a success—however which may not be sufficient.

Regardless of being the No. 1 present on Netflix worldwide, with over 127 million hours seen from Aug. 8 to Aug. 14, a second season of the long-awaited collection is not a certain factor.

Why? “As a result of Sandman is a extremely costly present,” The Sandman creator Neil Gaiman defined on Twitter. “And for Netflix to launch the cash to allow us to make one other season now we have to carry out extremely properly.”

He added, “So sure, we have been the highest present on the planet for the final two weeks. That also might not be sufficient.”

The Mindy Kaling-produced By no means Have I Ever was No. 2 worldwide with simply over 55 million hours seen throughout the identical time interval, adopted by season three of Locke & Key at No. 3, season 4 of Stranger Issues at No. 4 and season 4 of Virgin River at No. 5.

The Sandman was seen for practically 200 million hours over the primary 9 days of launch since its Aug. 5 debut.
