Canonically, Lucifer gets bored with hell and simply chooses to leave the key with Dream. This is perhaps one of the most straightforward scenes of the series, but it brings with it the most questions. There's still hope for Morpheus and The Endless yet. It's not the highest viewed of their genre fare, but don't fret just yet! The Sandman is a meaty story that some may choose not to binge.

At the time of this update, Netflix has reported that the series saw about 69 million minutes over its first weekend. There could be many future seasons in store for fans, should Netflix see the performance they want.

Unlike Prime Video’s Good Omens - which covers the original source material in its entirety in its first season and was believed to be a limited series at first - The Sandman goes on for many, many more issues after “Preludes & Nocturnes' and 'The Doll's House' (the two segments adapted by Season 1). Though this isn’t usually the kind of question we go over in stories like this one, there’s precedent here. Meanwhile, Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie), Azazel (voice unknown), and the denizens of hell are making plans to take hell to the next level by overtaking the waking world, and then the dreaming. Despite the threat of Dream and Death - ostensibly the most powerful of The Endless that we’ve met thus far - knocking down their door should they toy with the dreaming again, Desire seems unphased and intends to continue to pick at their brother until satisfied. While the Rose Walker story gets a happy ending, there’s more trouble coming for Dream from all sides. Upon revealing that she was impregnated during the sleepy sickness in a dream by someone with golden eyes, Unity helps Dream come to the realization that not only was she supposed to be the vortex all along, but that his sibling, Desire (Mason Alexander Park), intentionally ensured that the unwitting curse was passed down to his descendant - Rose - in an attempt to make Dream stumble after eons of rivalry (we’ll get to why a bit later). Things kick off with one of the most jaw-dropping of those moments as Gilbert (Stephen Fry) chooses to stand between his creator and Rose before ultimately transforming back into his original form - the stunning Fiddler’s Green.Īs Dream is set to absorb Rose after the realization that nothing can be done to stop the vortex inside her from consuming the waking world, a delightfully belligerent Unity Kinkaid (Sandra James Young) marches into the Dreaming with Lucienne (Vivienne Acheampong), insisting that her great granddaughter is not the vortex Morpheus is seeking. A lot occurred between Rose Walker (Vanesu Samunyai) marching into the Dreaming to meet her fate and the final credits of The Sandman.
