Netflix has announced nine new cast members for The Sandman Season 2.
The actors join returning stars Tom Sturridge, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Ferdinand Kingsley and Stephen Fry.
The Sandman is based on the Neil Gaiman comic book of the same name. Season 2 will see Morpheus (Sturridge), the King of Dreams, face off with "the formidable rulers of Hell, Asgard, Faerie, and the realms beyond," executive producer Allan Heinberg told Netflix's Tudum.
"Together, they will ensnare Dream in a web of palace intrigue, glamour, demon battles, and spider-sex. None of which Dream is prepared for; all of which transform him into a far more dangerous Dream of the Endless."
The new casting is as follows:Ruairi O'Connor as Orpheus, a poet, musician, oracle, and the only child of Dream and the muse Calliope
Freddie Fox as Loki, the god of chaos
Laurence O'Fuarain as Thor, the storm god
Ann Skelly and Douglas Booth as Nuala and Cluracan, royal emissaries from the court of Faerie
Jack Gleeson as Puck, a malevolent hobgoblin who serves as the royal jester to King Auberon of Faerie
Indya Moore as Wanda, a professional driver and security agent for an exclusive travel firm
Steve Coogan as the voice of Barnabas, the canine companion of the Endless's Prodigal brother
The Sandman resumed production in November 2023. Netflix has yet to announce a release date for Season 2.
