Fans of Netflix’s ‘The Sandman’ can look forward to a new season that listens to what they really want. In a recent interview with Collider, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, who stars in the series as Death, revealed that the upcoming season would include more of Dream’s interactions with his siblings and meet fan demands.
With Season 2 on the horizon, Howell-Baptiste shared what she knew about the new episodes. During her promotion for the movie ‘We Strangers’ at SXSW, she spoke to Collider about the storyline developments, giving fans things to be excited about:
“It’s been fantastic going back, actually, because this season, I think fans will be very excited for the episodes. It feels like the show is a two-way street, it’s not just us putting something out, it’s Neil listening, responding to the fans, and then in turn giving them the things that they are asking for, yelling for, begging for. So I think fans are gonna be really excited to have these stories expanded and have the complexities, and the family and, and all of those dynamics, see them even more this season, this continuation of episodes.”
