After a long wait, Netflix has finally unveiled the trailer of its live-action adaptation of The Sandman based on Neil Gaiman, Mike Dringenberg and Sam Keith’s graphic novel of the same name. The streamer also dropped the release date of the long awaited series at the end of the new trailer and unveiled character posters as well. The trailer shows the titular character’s escape from captivity and a glimpse of the chaos this turn of events ensues.
In the trailer we seem Tom Sturridge as Dream aka Morpheus amongst other names, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne and Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian. Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer was missing from this trailer but her poster was released earlier. Mark Hamill will be voicing Merv Pumpkinhead in The Sandman.

The Sandman chronicles the escapades of Morpheus, one of the seven eternal brothers in charge of reality. As the King of the Nightmare Realms, Dream has the responsibility to enable humanity to dream, not only when they are asleep but also when they are awake so that they can make a better future. He also brings on nightmares to punish mortals who anger Morpheus.
The Sandman season 1, which has a 12-episode order, will premiere on Friday, August 5 on Netflix.
