The default setting is waiting for you there,\u201d he said, before realising he might have given away something he shouldn\u2019t have.<\/p> <p>\u201cDon\u2019t do that! Who would say that?

I wouldn\u2019t say that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Writer and producer Allan Heinberg helped him out, saying: \u201cYou can binge the whole thing and then go back to Netflix on your laptop or whatever and the second time you watch it, turn off autoplay. How about that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The end credits will feature art by <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/sandman-sanjeev-bhaskar-extraordinary-scale-exclusive-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Sandman<\/a>\u2018s cover artist Dave McKean, whom Gaiman coaxed out of retirement for the job.
