While this won\u2019t have been obvious to those unfamiliar with the comic books, crime drama Lucifer actually began life as a spin-off from Neil Gaiman\u2019s The Sandman, which is getting a mega-budget adaptation on Netflix<\/a> this month.<\/p>\n

As a result, two major characters from Lucifer<\/a> are now returning to television screens, less than a year since the show ended its run with an emotional sixth season.<\/p>\n

However, in a move that could prove controversial among diehard fans, creator and executive producer Gaiman has opted to recast both roles for this adaptation, noting that he aims to be much more faithful to the comics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the Lucifer TV series\u2026 I think what those guys do is fabulous and delightful and we are not planning to do that,\u201d the fantasy author told RadioTimes.com<\/a>. \u201cWe are planning to do something that is a whole lot more like what we did in the comic, only slightly bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means Lesley-Ann Brandt is out as Mazikeen (aka Maze), despite becoming something of a breakout star among the Lucifer cast<\/a>, with many fans lauding her performance in the no-nonsense role.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about The Sandman<\/a>\u2018s version of Mazikeen, including who plays her and which episodes she appears in.<\/p>

Is Mazikeen in The Sandman?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Yes, Mazikeen does indeed appear in The Sandman television series, debuting in the fourth episode \u2013 titled A Hope in Hell \u2013 when Dream visits Lucifer Morningstar (Gwendoline Christie) in search of his magical helm.<\/p>\n
The character makes a brief reappearance in The Sandman episode 10, although we won\u2019t spoil that here for anyone who is yet to watch ahead.<\/p>\n
The Sandman\u2019s version of Mazikeen permanently has her demon face showing \u2013 upon which the left half is severely disfigured \u2013 while the version presented in Lucifer usually kept this hidden (barring fleeting moments in seasons 1, 2 and 5).<\/p>\n
