‘The Sandman’ Season 2 Casts Remaining ‘Endless’ Siblings of Tom Sturridge’s Dream: Delirium, Destiny and ‘The Prodigal’

Wake up, fans of “The Sandman,” we’ve got some Season 2 news for you: The Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s epic graphic novel series has cast the final three siblings in the “Endless Family” of Tom Sturridge’s Dream — Esmé Creed-Miles as Delirium, Adrian Lester as Destiny and Barry Sloane as “The Prodigal.”

In “The Sandman” comic book series, The Prodigal is the estranged Endless sibling named Destruction, but Netflix has taken care to label Sloane’s role as “The Prodigal,” which is the way the character is referred to throughout the first volumes of the story. The three new castings point to “The Sandman” Season 2 covering the graphic novel’s iconic installment, “Season of Mists.”

The trio of new “The Sandman” Season 2 actors will join the Endless siblings returning from Season 1: Death (Kirby), Desire (Mason Alexander Park), Despair (Donna Preston) and Dream, The Sandman himself.

Per the Season 1 description for the series, “When the Sandman, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge) — the powerful cosmic being who controls all our dreams — is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for over a century, he must journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.”

Other cast members who will be back for “The Sandman” Season 2 are Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, Ferdinand Kingsley as Hob Gadling, Stephen Fry as Gilbert, Asim Chaudhry as Abel, Sanjeev Bhaskar as Cain, Vanesu Samunyai as Rose Walker, and Razane Jammal as Lyta Hall.

“The Sandman” is developed by Gaiman, showrunner Allan Heinberg and David S. Goyer the DC comics of the same name by Gaiman, Sam Keith and Mike Dringenberg. All episodes of Season 2 will be directed by Jamie Childs.

“The Sandman” is produced by DC rights owner Warner Bros. Television.

Though “The Sandman” was renewed for Season 2 in November 2022, following the August launch of its first 10 episodes and the surprise drop of an 11th, it’s second season was much delayed due to the Hollywood writers and actors strikes that took place over Summer 2023.

Shortly after the first season dropped, Gaiman told PvNew he was already on the hunt for the actors to play the remaining Endless siblings, saying: “Right now, what we’re doing is every time I think of or run into or pass or notice an actor who could be either a Destruction or a Delirium, Allan gets an email.”
