“It gives me unbelievable pleasure to say that, working with Netflix and Warner Bros., [fellow executive producers]Allan Heinberg and David Goyer will bring more of their experience to the event. The SandmanStories bring life to your world. There are many amazing stories that await Morpheus, the others and more members of The Endless Family. This is going to make everyone happier than the Sandman cast, crew and friends. They are the biggest Sandman fan. And now it’s time to get back to work. There’s a family meal ahead, after all. And Lucifer is waiting for Morpheus to return to Hell…”

This is amazing!! @neilhimselfThank you for your dedication to allowing the show’s continuation.
It has been a LONG time since I’ve been so excited to see a movie character. The 11th Doctor has been a long time.
