The Sandman's Final Season Trailer Features Dream's Return to Hell, Warns ‘All Good Stories Come to an End'
Hell anticipates Lord Morpheus' return 'most avidly.' 'When an Endless changes, it changes everything.' 'All good stories come to an end.' The full trailer for The Sandman's second and final season is full of foreboding words, promising an epic wrap-up to the Netflix fantasy saga. More from TVLine The Sandman's Final Season Will Wrap With Death-Centric Bonus Episode Neil Gaiman Denies Sexual Assault Allegations, Says He Has Never Had Non-Consensual Sex 'Ever' Every New Scripted Show Confirmed to Premiere in 2025 - Save the Dates! As previously reported, Season 2 will be broken into three parts: Volume 1, which will consist of six episodes, will start streaming on Thursday, July 3. Volume 2, which will consist of five episodes, will follow on Thursday, July 24. The last episode of Volume 2 will conclude the story of Dream (played by Tom Sturridge). Then on Thursday, July 31, a bonus episode, titled 'The Sandman Presents: Death: The High Cost of Living,' will concern Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), and bring the series to a close. Netflix previously released a teaser trailer that shows Morpheus, lord of a mystical realm known as The Dreaming, reuniting with his siblings. Season 2 will introduce us to a few new members of this mystical family, known collectively as The Endless: Destiny (Primary Colors' Adrian Lester), Delirium (who will be played by Hanna's Esme Creed-Miles) and The Prodigal (Revenge's Barry Sloane). You can see the siblings reunite, albeit not happily, in the video below: 'After a fateful reunion with his family,' the official Season 2 logline reads, 'Dream of the Endless (played by Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of The Sandman will tell Dream's story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.' The fantasy drama is based on Neil Gaiman's comic series of the same name. Gaiman, who is an executive producer on the show, has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple women; he denies the allegations. 'I'm far from a perfect person,' he wrote on his blog in January, 'but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.' The Sandman's cancellation came a few weeks after the allegations against Gaiman were the subject of a New York Magazine story. Are you planning to watch Season 2?

Land of the Lost Reboot in the Works at Netflix
It appears that Marshall, Will and Holly will once again be embarking on a routine expedition that instead leads them to the la-annnnd of the lo-o-o-ossst! Netflix in partnership with Legendary TV is in the 'very early stages' of developing a reboot of the cheese-tastic 1970s cult classic Land of the Lost, Deadline and others are reporting. More from TVLine Dave Nemetz Reviews The Waterfront: Netflix's Soggy Soap Drowns in Dumb Clichés - Now, YOU Grade It! Bill Lawrence: Scrubs Revival 'Looks at How the System Has Changed' - And Who, Potentially, Has Scrubbed Out The Sandman's Final Season Trailer Features Dream's Return to Hell, Warns 'All Good Stories Come to an End' Sid and Marty Krofft, who developed the original series, as well as Marty's daughter Deanna Krofft Pope (the VP of development at their company), reportedly will produce the project. Neither Netflix nor Legendary are commenting on the trade reports. Land of the Lost, produced by '70s TV staples Sid and Marty Krofft, starred Spencer Milligan as Rick Marshall, who during a routine rafting expedition was transported via waterfall/time portal back to prehistoric times along with his son Will (Wesley Eure) and daughter Holly (Kathy Coleman). There, the family of three contended with dinosaurs, hissing lizard men known as Sleestak, and ape-like primates called Pakuni — including one named Cha-Ka (Phillip Paley), who befriended the Marshalls and eventually learned to speak English. Milligan left the series after two seasons after demanding that he and the cast be compensated for the show's various merchandising endeavors, including lunch boxes, coloring books and board games. He was replaced by Ron Harper, who played Will and Holly's uncle Jack in the third and final season. (Harper and Milligan both passed away in spring 2024.) A 2009 film comedy version of Land of the Lost starred Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Anna Friel and Jorma Taccone. Best of TVLine 'Missing' Shows, Found!

For First Time, Streaming Viewing Topped Broadcast and Cable Combined in May
More and more, life is but a stream for us consumers of TV. Nielsen's latest monthly viewership report, titled The Gauge, shows that for the month of May, TV viewing done via streaming eclipsed broadcast and cable combined for the first time ever. More from TVLine Adults Finale Serves Up a Surprise Wedding and a New Love Triangle - Are You In for a Season 2? Eric Dane: My Countdown Task Force Leader Is 'Unapologetic, Determined' - and Wears the Hell Out of a Suit We Were Liars EPs Talk Book-to-Show Changes, Including Which Sinclair Family Member Didn't Make the Cut According to The Gauge, streaming represented 44.8% of TV viewership in May — its largest share to date — while broadcast (with 20.1%) and cable (24.1%) combined to represent 44.2% of TV viewership. Nielsen notes that since The Gauge's launch four years ago, streaming has seen a usage increase of 71%, while broadcast and cable viewing have declined (down 21% and 39%, respectively). 'It's fitting that this inflection point coincides with the four-year anniversary of Nielsen's The Gauge, which has become the gold standard for streaming TV measurement,' Nielsen CEO Karthik Rao said in a statement. 'It's also a credit to media companies, who have deftly adapted their programming strategies to meet their viewers where they are watching TV — whether it's on streaming or linear platforms.' Also in that four-year span, several more streaming services are now reported on by The Gauge, by having attained a full share point of TV usage. They join the OGs Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Prime Video and Disney+. Nielsen says that 'free services have been a major driver of streaming's overall success,' with YouTube Main (excluding YouTube TV) exhibiting steady, significant growth (+120%) since 2021. 'Additionally, FAST services have become increasingly popular, and three have reached the reportable threshold in The Gauge,' with PlutoTV, Roku Channel and Tubi combining for 5.7% of total TV viewing in May — more than any individual broadcast network.
