The wait is almost over, everyone! Netflix’s The Sandman season 2 is one month away, and the streamer has just confirmed all 11 episode titles for the final season, as well as revealing that, yes, a bonus 12 instalment is coming.
With The Sandman season 2 being the show’s final season, showrunner Allan Heinberg has been tasked with cramming a crazy amount of content into the concluding eleven episodes — and also a bonus spinoff episode. We know that some of the main storylines of the season include Season of Mists and Brief Lives. The season will also cover several one-shot issues from the comic, such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Thermidor and The Song of Orpheus. It’ll cover the ending of the beloved graphic novels, meaning fans don’t need to be concerned about being left on any cliffhangers.
Season 2 is split into two parts: Volume 1, July 3, and Volume 2, July 24. The bonus episode, The High Cost of Living, which focuses on Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) drops on July 31st. You can check out the trailer below:

What is the bonus episode all about?
Netflix also confirmed that the season will finish with a bonus episode, titled Death: The High Cost of Living. The episode adapts the spinoff graphic novel of the same name, in which Death spends a day living as a mortal, mingling among humanity, to better grasp the gravity of her duties as one of the Endless. During her time on the mortal plain, she meets Sexton (played by Merlin star Colin Morgan), whom she spends the day with.
