Just when will we get the news we are all waiting for? According to Neil Gaiman himself its now that simple.

The first season of The Sandman has been quite a success sitting in Netflixs global top 10 for more than six weeks. Fans have also applauded the adaptation of Neil Gaimans iconic graphic novel now biting their nails while expecting a season 2 announcement.

But this very announcement just wouldnt come. At this point many fans are concerned that such a long wait could mean that things are over for The Sandman. Luckily enough the series author is pretty open when it comes to communication with his fandom.

The data harvesting has only just finished – and is complicated by a lot of people not binge-watching it but spreading it out letting episodes sink in before watching the next Gaiman explained on Twitter responding to one of the concerned fans. Telling [Netflix] to hurry up wont make decisions happen faster.

However Gaimans explanation did not sit well with fans. Many people think that Netflix seems to be having second thoughts about The Sandman and this is the actual reason why the renewal news is not coming.

Ive been a fan for 3 decades and IMO the reason people are in a hurry to hear about a renewal is actually more about fear that it wont be renewed. So many of us have waited for so long to see Sandman brought to the screen that theres genuine fear that we might only get this one season and nothing more. – /hlycia

For fans some of whom have been waiting for The Sandman to finally take the small screen by storm literally for decades Netflix deciding against season 2 renewal would be absolutely gutting.

Meanwhile according to Gaiman pretty much everything for season 2 is ready including the script. The only thing needed for the crew to start working is a green light from Netflix.
