Netflix has released the official main trailer for the second and final season of “The Sandman,” starring Tom Sturridge.
In the trailer, Dream (Sturridge) is fighting not only for his own survival, but for the survival of The Dreaming itself as the world seems to be crashing down all around him. As Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) says at one point, “Everyone loves a good story, but all stories come to an end.”
Watch the official trailer below.
As previously announced, the first six episodes will be released on July 6, while five more episodes will drop on July 24. A bonus episode that follows Death is set to be released on July 31.
Season 2 will follow Dream of the Endless as he “must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds,” per the official logline. “To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything.”
