The Sandman fans have been waiting decades for Neil Gaiman\u2019s seminal comic book series to make the leap into live-action, with many fearing that the complex source material might prove simply unadaptable.<\/p>\n

Enter Netflix<\/a>, which has used its considerable cash reserves and liberal runtimes to transform The Sandman<\/a> into an epic streaming drama, with a starry cast including Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, Gwendoline Christie and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.<\/p>\n

In the lead role is relative unknown Tom Sturridge, who looks like he walked straight off the comic book page as infinite being Dream; imprisoned ruler of the nightmare realm.<\/p>\n

After the release of a stunning The Sandman trailer<\/a> at San Diego Comic-Con, anticipation for the blockbuster series is reaching fever pitch \u2013 so it\u2019s quite lucky that fans don\u2019t have to wait much longer until it\u2019s ready to stream.<\/p>\n

What time does The Sandman come out on Netflix?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Sandman is released on Netflix on\u00a0Friday 5th August 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Like most original shows on the streaming service, The Sandman will be streaming on Netflix UK from 8am BST<\/strong>, which equates to 3am Eastern time and 12am Pacific time for our friends across the pond.<\/p>

The Sandman\u2019s first season on Netflix will consist of 10 episodes in total.<\/p>\n

When the series was announced back in 2019, early reports claimed that it would kick off with an 11-episode opening season, but these plans seemingly changed in the time it took to reach the screen.<\/p>\n

What is The Sandman about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Based on the DC Comics title of the same name, The Sandman tells the story of Dream, a godlike being who is responsible for creating the dreams and nightmares that humans experience while they sleep.<\/p>\n

However, in the early 20th century, he is captured by an occultist group led by Sir Roderick Burgess and held prisoner for more than a century, in which time his realm decays and the human world becomes far more dangerous.<\/p>\n

When he finally frees himself from his constraints, Dream sets about restoring his power, but doing so will require confronting formidable enemies \u2013 including the devil herself.<\/p>\n
