Sandman is the comic book adaptation by fans, for fans–evidenced by the cast and crew at #TUDUM, who are some of the biggest Sandman fans around 👇
Neil Gaiman: "The team at Netflix, Alan, David and I have been able to make something that was true to the comics, while still being fantastic television..."
Neil Gaiman: "...and honestly, I think this is how it was always supposed to happen: with these actors, with this production, with this weird and wonderful team of people who have had their minds lost in the Dreaming since I put it on the page."
Tom Sturridge (DREAM): “When I found out I’d been asked to play Dream, I was terrified of a moment like this because I know how important he is to you, simply because of how important he is to me.”
Kirby Howell-Baptiste (DEATH): “Death of the Endless is, to say the least, a character with a profound legacy who has brought real comfort to so many people. This role was a responsibility as well as a privilege and I can promise you I did not take that lightly."
