The Sandman Development:- Attempts to adapt Neil Gaiman's American comic book The Sandman, which was published by DC Comics from 1989 to 1996, have been dormant since the 1990s.
The Sandman Writing:- Beginning with "Preludes & Nocturnes" and "The Doll's House" in the first season, the creative team worked hard to faithfully adapt the source material. With Gaiman's approval, the creators made significant narrative changes from the original script and also received feedback when designing the sets, with Heinberg adding that "everything gets Neil's eyes and his feedback." The team was inspired by comic book imagery, and the objects and sets were created to be as true as possible to the comics.
The Sandman Casting:- Patton Oswalt, a long-time admirer of The Sandman, was the first actor cast in the series; he was cast as Matthew the Raven's voice the day before The Sandman was offered to Netflix. Following screen tests alongside Tom York and Colin Morgan, Tom Sturridge began talks to portray Dream in September 2020, while Liam Hemsworth and Dacre Montgomery were considered for the role of the Corinthian. Casting information was kept under wraps until the first season began production. Boyd Holbrook recalls a protracted casting process, stating that he auditioned in January 2020 but did not hear back until September.
The series will premiere in January 2021, starring Sturridge, Gwendoline Christie, Vivienne Acheampong, Holbrook, Charles Dance, Asim Chaudhry, and Sanjeev Bhaskar. Before being cast, Sturridge had never heard of the original work, but he rapidly became a fan. Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Jenna Coleman, Niamh Walsh, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Kyo Ra, Stephen Fry, Razane Jammal, Sandra James Young, and Oswalt joined the ensemble in May 2021.
