Today there were some interviews with the cast and directors of The Sandman for Netflix!
Pictured here is Allan Heinberg (director), Tom Sturridge (Dream), Vivienne Acheampong (Lucienne), Jenna Coleman (Johanna Constantine), Vanesu Samunyai, and Boyd Holbrook (The Corinthian)!
Jenna Coleman looks amazing in that suit! Finally, we see her getting involved with the show!
During Netflix’ Geeked Week starting on Monday, there will be a panel discussing The Sandman, in which Jenna Coleman will appear. A link to the video, which premieres on Monday, can be seen on several country-specific Netflix channels, like the one I have provided the link for.
This panel was pre-recorded in April, when we already saw this picture:
Netflix has also recently said that they will, finally, announce a release date for The Sandman on Monday as well! I’ve not seen it confirmed anywhere, but I think it is very likely that a trailer for The Sandman will be shown on Monday as well!
So look out for more news about The Sandman on Monday!
Entertainment Weekly has released an interview with Tom Sturridge and Neil Gaiman about the upcoming show The Sandman.
In the article, it is said that
the show’s premiere on Netflix [will be] this summer
This is a very unexpected claim. In February, IGN claimed that it would be released on June 3rd. But Neil Gaiman quickly responded saying that he wasn’t aware of that date, and that it seemed unlikely. In the following months, there was a lot of speculation about when it would come out, but the supposed date was shifted further and further back, well into autumn. This was also supported by the lack of promotion for the show so far.
So this statement is very surprising, as it won’t be long until summer, and there has still not been any announcement of a release date. This interview is the first bit of promotion for the show in more than half a year. But so far, unlike earlier this year when IGN mentioned the June 3rd release date, Neil Gaiman has not disputed that claim.
Perhaps they will stretch the definition of what “summer” means, but it currently seems possible that it could be released in August.
Also, interestingly, this interview marks the first occasion that Jenna Coleman’s character, Johanna Constantine is ever mentioned in the offical promotion for the show:
