Variety has confirmed that there will be two more seasons of the Audible adaptation of The Sandman.
“The Sandman: Act II” and “The Sandman: Act III” will be forthcoming from Audible, once again adapted and directed by Dirk Maggs from the original stories by Neil Gaiman.
Part two will cover the “Season of Mists,” “Distant Mirrors,” “A Game of You” and “Convergence” volumes of “The Sandman” series, and the third installment will adapt “Brief Lives” and “Worlds Ends.”
Gaiman said in a statement, “It was thrilling to be a part of the fastest-selling Audible fiction title and to watch it break records. I’m excited to discover what other surprises the genius Dirk Maggs has up his sleeve in the next volumes of Audible’s ‘The Sandman.’”
He added, “It’s like making movies for the ear that go straight to the brain. And soon it will be time to meet the whole family, then to go back to Hell once more, as Morpheus confronts Lucifer in ‘Season of Mists.’”
“We have a big vision for the next two seasons and the stories in this next instalment are among the best Neil has ever told,” Dirk Maggs added.
“Audible is proud to be a home for creative visionaries who are bringing extraordinarily immersive stories, like ‘The Sandman,’ to life,” said Rachel Ghiazza, EVP, head of U.S. content at Audible. “We cannot wait for listeners to enter the Dreaming again and wanted to give fans even more to look forward to by greenlighting not just one season but the next two highly anticipated installments.”
