What to expect from Season 2
Plot overview

The Sandman follows Lord Morpheus, one of the seven Endless beings who rule over powerful forces like Desire and Death.

The series tells his story after being in prison for centuries. Once he's released, he seeks to regain his lost powers and treasures—a helmet, a ruby, and a pouch of dream sand.

Season 1 left fans on a cliffhanger, with Lucifer plotting to bring Morpheus to his knees.

S02 is expected to bring absolute carnage for the lead character.
