The story of The Sandman follows the main character Dream, also known as Morpheus among other names, a conceptual entity struggling with his place in the universe.
The upcoming series is based on the seminal Neil Gaiman graphic novel The Sandman, which originally ran for 75 issues from 1989-1996.
Netflix’s live-action take on Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is close to signing on British actor Tom Sturridge as the lead character Dream, just weeks before shooting begins on the series.
The first season will consist of 11 episodes and will cover the first Sandman graphic novel, Preludes & Nocturnes.
