Why Is Netflix’s 'The Sandman' Ending After Season Two?
- Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman is ending with its second and final season launching July 3, 2025.
- The decision to conclude the show after season two was made for creative reasons two years ago, before allegations surfaced against Gaiman.
- Multiple women accused Gaiman of nonconsensual sexual activity starting in 2024, leading to halted projects and public coverage including a podcast and exposés.
- Gaiman has consistently denied any wrongdoing, stating he never engaged in nonconsensual sexual activity and calling some stories distorted or false.
- The show's end reflects its limited source material and creative planning, while the wider impact of allegations has affected the release and continuation of other Gaiman-related projects.
