The Sandman’s Missing Siblings Cast: Hanna, Revenge and Primary Colors Alums Join Season 2
Meet The Sandman‘s missing family members.
The Netflix drama has cast the roles of Delirium, Destiny and the Prodigal, TVLine has learned. Together with Dream (aka Sandman, played by Tom Sturridge), Death (Kirby), Desire (Mason Alexander Park) and Despair (Donna Preston) — all of whom were introduced in Season 1 — the new additions complete the Endless family introduced in a DC Comics series written by Neil Gaiman.
Esme Creed-Miles (Hanna) will play Delirium. Adrian Lester (Primary Colors, BBC One’s Hustle) will play Destiny, and Barry Sloane (Revenge, Six) will play The Prodigal.
The fantasy series premiered in August 2022 and was renewed in November of that year. Though Netflix originally stopped short of calling the forthcoming episodes “Season 2,” saying only that there would be “more episodes and stories to be adapted from multiple graphic novels,” the streamer now refers to the new cast members as Season 2 additions.
Netflix has not yet announced a release date for Season 2.
The Sandman follows Sturridge’s Morpheus, lord of a mystical realm known as The Dreaming, who is the keeper of all of humanity’s dreams (and nightmares). He and his siblings — Death, Desire, Despair, etc. — are collectively known as The Endless: embodiments of the concepts they represent. The returning cast includes Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Steven Fry, Vanesu Samunyai, Ferdinand Kingsley, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Razane Jammal. (New to the franchise?

So excited for more of this show!
Glad to have an update. I wonder if a Jenna-led Constantine (series/movie/etc.) is still in the works.
Shame this story doesnt reference Dead Boy Detectives which included appearances by Death and Despair as they are in same Universe and based on Gaimans work.
Great show which sadly is suffering from lack of promotion/awareness
I cant wait for the new episodes. I hope they renew Dead Boy Detectives too
The Prodigal is the only family member whose name doesn’t begin with the letter, D. Why?
Hi there ! In the comics, we don’t know their original name/embodiment until they appear, so I won’t spoil it for you.
OMG I’m so relieved to get some news about more Sandman. Renewals, or declarations of more episodes (*raises eyebrow at Netflix’s prior statement*) are no longer a guarantee and since it’s been a while, I was really starting to worry. AHHHHHHH YAYYYYYYYYY
