Plot Synopsis

Based on the comic book series of the same name, THE SANDMAN is a one-hour live-action series that follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic -- and human -- mistakes he's made during his vast existence. In this series, after years of imprisonment, Morpheus embarks on a journey across worlds to find what was stolen from him and restore his power. While searching for an escaped nightmare in the waking world, Morpheus falls prey to Roderick Burgess, an occultist looking to summon and imprison Death. Then, Morpheus begins his quest to find his tools of power -- his sand, ruby and helm -- by paying a visit to a pair of notoriously dysfunctional brothers. The entire 10-episode first season of THE SANDMAN dropped on Friday, August 5, 2022 on Netflix.
