'The Sandman' season 2: Release dates, plots, cast , and what to expect
'The Sandman'
As the highly anticipated second season of 'The Sandman' is ready to reveal its last chapters, the world of dreams is about to face a transformation. The series explores the cosmic struggles and individual reckonings that characterise the Endless and their rule in greater detail, building on the complex tapestry woven in its premiere.
The epic saga of Morpheus reaches its climactic conclusion as ancient rivalries ignite and destinies intertwine.
Viewers will see a remake of key stories from Neil Gaiman's critically acclaimed graphic novels in this final season. The story begins during the 'Season of Mists', when Lucifer Morningstar quits his position as king of Hell, sparking a bloody struggle for dominance between gods and humans. Dream has to navigate dangerous partnerships and face the consequences of his previous choices as he struggles with the weight of this responsibility.
'Brief Lives', the next instalment in the series, follows Dream and his sister Delirium as they set out to find their mysterious brother Destruction. In addition to putting their familial ties to the test, this journey also calls into question Dream's conception of transformation and death. A moving and introspective conclusion to Dream's journey is anticipated from later arcs, such as 'The Kindly Ones' and 'The Wake', which explore themes of legacy, redemption, and the unstoppable march of time.
Cast of 'Sandman 2'
Tom Sturridge as the mysterious Dream, Gwendoline Christie as the powerful Lucifer, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste as the sympathetic Death round out the ensemble cast. The story is enhanced by new characters: Barry Sloane plays the prodigal Destruction, Esmé Creed-Miles plays the imaginative Delirium, and Adrian Lester plays Destiny. The series' rich mythos continues to grow through the portrayals of mythological characters like Odin, Thor, and Loki, played by Clive Russell, Laurence O'Fuarain, and Freddie Fox, respectively.
When and where to watch 'Sandman 2'
There are two volumes in the final season, each with six episodes. On July 3, 2025, Volume 1 will be aired, and on July 24, 2025, Volume 2. Viewers may finish the exciting journey through the worlds of dreams and beyond by streaming the full narrative exclusively on Netflix.

Navjot Singh Sidhu says he put one condition regarding Archana Puran Singh before returning to Kapil Sharma's show: ‘How can I be the reason of…'
Netizens were delighted after Netflix announced that the third season of The Great Indian Kapil Show will mark the comeback of former cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu. This will mark his return as the permanent guest of the show after nearly six years. Ahead of his comeback, Navjot Singh Sidhu shared a vlog on his YouTube channel claiming how he played a key role in helping Kapil Sharma have his independent show about 13 years ago. Speaking to his viewers, Navjot Singh Sidhu recalled the days when he judged the show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge which became the origin of talents like Kapil Sharma and Bharti Singh. He said, 'Kapil Sharma rose to fame after he appeared in the show Laughter Challenge. Later, he was exploited in Comedy Circus, he didn't have an identity of his own.' He added, 'After my Bigg Boss stint, Kapil Sharma came to me and said, 'Paaji, I have a request. If you will agree to be part of my show, they will give me an independent show.' I was like who, 'He said Raj Nayak sahab'. Raj Nayak was the head of Colors back then. He wanted me to be the judge of the show. He wanted me as he wanted to increase the channel's TRP. We met over breakfast and I agreed to do it.' Sidhu shared that he actively took part in suggesting ideas to Kapil for his independent show and took credit in making it a huge success. 'I suggested Kapil Sharma to work on the show's format and how he should present it. When I came, we didn't have any guest. I suggested him to bring Dharmendra on show, and he did. When he came and shared rare anecdotes from his life and journey as an actor, it took the show's TRP to another level. I had to leave the show for political reasons. Ever since, people missed me on the show and requested me to be back on the show.' Sidhu said it was the audience love that has brought his life to full circle with him once again returning to the show. 'On public demand, I made a rare appearance on the show with my wife and the amount of love I received was overwhelming. Now, that I am returning to the show it is like a home run for me. Ghar wapsi.'

'When it came to Archana Puran Singh, I just said one thing, 'I am a devotee of Goddess Durga, how can I be the reason for her losing her job?' I requested the makers to keep and her and now we will both appear on the show together. We are finally back together. All of us, Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, we are all part of the same engine.' Two days ago, the makers of The Great Indian Kapil Show took to Netflix's official Instagram handle to share the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu. Sharing a video featuring Kapil Sharma, Archana Puran Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu, the makers wrote, 'Ek kursi paaji ke liye please. Har Funnyvaar Badhega Humara Parivaar with the comeback of Navjot Singh Sidhu & Archana Puran Singh. Watch them in the new season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, streaming from 21st June, at 8 PM only on Netflix.' The news attracted a lot of attention from fans who expressed their excitement for the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu. The former cricketer resigned the show in 2019 after his comment on the Pulwama attack received severe backlash. The new season of the show will premiere on June 21.

I'm Your Venus OTT Release Date: When & where to watch documentary tribute to Venus Xtravaganza
I'm Your Venus OTT Release Date: This new thrilling documentary is dropping on Netflix starting June 23, 2025. It shines a spotlight on Venus Xtravaganza, the transgender star of the landmark film Paris Is Burning . Venus's life was full of raw passion and vibrant ballroom energy, but it ended tragically when she was murdered in 1988. Now, decades later, I'm Your Venus reunites both her biological siblings and her 'chosen family' from the House of Xtravaganza to relive her story, seek justice, and honour her fierce spirit. What's it about? Directed by Kimberly Reed, the film picks up nearly 35 years after Venus's death. It follows her three brothers, John, Joe, and Louie Pellagatti, as they sift through old police records, fight for a posthumous name change, and search for answers. Alongside them are members of the House of Xtravaganza, including House Mother Gisele Alicea and other prominent figures from the ballroom scene. Across home visits, legal meetings, and heartfelt interviews, the two families form a bridge between different worlds, biological and chosen, united by love and loss. The documentary also weaves in archival footage from Paris Is Burning, showing Venus in her own words and moves. Her voguing, her dreams of modelling, her raw interviews, these are revisited, reminding viewers of just how alive and present she was, even before the tragedy struck. Behind the scenes Kimberly Reed isn't new to documentaries; she previously made award-winning films like Prodigal Sons and Dark Money. She produced I'm Your Venus with Jamie Schutz, Steven Cantor, and Mike Stafford, working alongside cinematographers Rose Bush and Joshua Z. Weinstein. The film was edited by Eric Daniel Metzgar, Michael Palmieri, and supervising editor Dava Whisenant, who helped tie together the old and the new into a seamless narrative, 80 to 85 minutes of emotional storytelling. Executive producers Jonovia Chase, Dominique Jackson, David Linde, Jennie Livingston (who directed Paris Is Burning), Henry Schleiff, and Courtney Sexton lend their voices and perspectives to help shape this tribute. Venus's life and legacy Born Venus Pellagatti on May 5, 1965, in Jersey City, New Jersey, she became involved in drag and performance in her teens. By the early 1980s, she'd joined the House of Xtravaganza, one of the most iconic houses in New York's ballroom world. Paris Is Burning immortalised her, and her presence still resonates today. But her life was cut short on December 21, 1988, when she was found strangled in a New York City hotel room. Her case went cold and remained unsolved. In 2022, thanks in part to the efforts sparked by this documentary, her murder was re-examined. The NYPD reopened the case, and her family successfully changed her name legally to Venus Pellagatti Xtravaganza, symbolic acts meant to restore her to history and fight for recognition.
