He explained, “Sandman is a really expensive show. And for Netflix to release the money to let us make another season we have to perform incredibly well. So yes, we’ve been the top show in the world for the last two weeks. That still may not be enough.”

If Netflix doesn’t renew The Sandman and it ends up getting canceled, it might find another life with a different streaming platform. Gaiman also reassured the viewers that the series might find its way to other streaming platforms like Apple TV, HBO Max, or even Disney+ as a possible alternative.

Talking about the series, executive producer David S. Goyer said, “In some ways, it’s easier because we’ve educated the audience to the basic ideas. We’ve shown how the dreaming life can affect the waking world. With that groundwork done, the show can now build on those themes.”
