Netflix has given the green light to a second season of Neil Gaiman’s comic book adaptation “The Sandman”.
The acclaimed adaptation scored rave reviews, but concerns were high the expensive show wouldn’t do the kind of numbers that would ensure a renewal.
The series launched at the start of August and was watched for 69.5 million hours in its first week, 127.5 million in its second, 77.2 million in its third and 53.8 million in its fourth.
This follows on from both cancellation rumors circulating on social media along with an apparent renewal confirmation accidentally leaked on Wednesday by DC Comics’ official Twitter page.
Yes, it’s true: The Sandman will return to Netflix!
"There are some astonishing stories waiting for Morpheus & the rest of them… Now it’s time to get back to work. There’s a family meal ahead… And Lucifer is waiting for Morpheus to return to Hell," says @neilhimself pic.twitter.com/TbA3hnD5f6
