Neil Gaiman ponders how long ‘The Sandman’ could run on Netflix

While a season 2 isn’t a given at this point, the out-of-the-gate popularity of Netflix’s dark fantasy series The Sandman almost guarantees that the streaming giant will return to the prodigious well of source material provided by showrunner Neil Gaiman’s original comic books for another season, at least. And Gaiman makes no bones about his work’s ability to support several seasons beyond that.

Well, we’re told the first 400 pages of a 3,000-page arc in the first 10 episodes, so there’s a kind of a “you do the math” on that. Gaiman told Variety, when asked how long the series might continue, “the other answer is, how long is a piece of string? What we know that we would like to do, in a perfect world, as long as the audience is there and people come out for it and people want it, is we want to tell the whole story of Sandman that went through to ‘The Wake,’” he said, referring to the final volume and epilogue to the original comic series, which ran for 1989 to 1996.
