‘The Sandman' Season 2 Ends With a Bonus Episode to Remind You What Could Have Been
Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comes to an end this summer after its two-part second season. Though showrunner Allan Heinberg has maintained that two seasons has been the plan for years now, and that Netflix's announcement of its impending conclusion alongside high-profile allegations against Gaiman was just unfortunate timing, a new bit of information about season two suggests perhaps that at one time, plans for more Sandman may have been in the cards. To nobody's surprise after the success of season one, The Sandman was renewed in late 2022. At the time, a Netflix press release promised 'The Sandman world will continue to expand,' framing the then-unspecified amount of future episodes as a continuation of the story rather than a more traditional 'season two is on the way!' announcement. In January of this year, Heinberg confirmed that the second season would be The Sandman's finale, explaining that since the show had focused on the Dream character since the start, it only had one more season left of material to pull from the comics. However, as fans of Gaiman's Sandman comics well know, and as Netflix seemed to infer back in 2022, the story explores quite a vast world. The original series ran for 75 issues from 1989 to 1996. And the series adaptation, while anchored by Tom Sturridge's Dream, has a pretty sprawling array of supporting characters—including Kirby Howell-Baptiste's Death. Today, Netflix announced episode titles for the The Sandman's second season: 11 entries we knew about (divided into two drops in July), as well as a surprise bonus episode focusing on Death. Here's all the titles, which hint at the storylines that'll be adapted across season two, according to Variety: July 3 Episodes Chapter 1: 'Season of Mists' Chapter 2: 'The Ruler of Hell' Chapter 3: 'More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold' Chapter 4: 'Brief Lives' Chapter 5: 'The Song of Orpheus' Chapter 6: 'Family Blood' July 24 Episodes Chapter 7: 'Time and Night' Chapter 8: 'Fuel for the Fire' Chapter 9: 'The Kindly Ones' Chapter 10: 'Long Live the King' Chapter 11: 'A Tale of Graceful Ends' Then, there'll be a bonus drop on July 31: 'The Sandman Presents: Death: The High Cost of Living.' What do you make of the bonus episode? Does it hint at another Sandman season that may have been in the works before the show's cancellation—or do you buy the explanation that two Dream-centric installations were always the plan all along?

Los Gatos' Tasting House Launches 15-Course Champagne Menu Today
Tasting House Exterior Tasting House in Los Gatos isn't exactly new to pushing boundaries. The downtown wine bistro has already built a reputation for its globe-spanning list of over 1,000 bottles, 65 plus wines by the glass, and one of the country's deepest selections of zero-dosage Champagnes. But this week, the team takes things further with the launch of its most ambitious food and wine pairing to date: a 15-course tasting menu paired entirely with Champagne. Executive Chef Julian Silvera Executive Chef Julian Silvera, whose pedigree includes stints under Wylie Dufresne and at Michelin-starred Knife and Spoon in Florida, developed the spring 2025 menu with a focus on layered, umami-rich flavors. 'There's a lot of umami that comes through with the current tasting menu,' says Silvera. 'It just lends itself really nicely to a dedicated Champagne pairing.' Tasting House Anchovies Dish This season's Chef's Tasting experience leans into contrast—rich, briny, acidic, savory—all tuned to highlight the breadth of the Champagne world. Every course is matched to a different pour, spanning iconic maisons and small grower-producers. Look forward to anchovy with freeze-dried plum and chamomile paired against taut minerality, or abalone in mussel pho with double-shucked peas and beef tendon, alongside a richer, oxidative style. Tasting House Interior One dish, called 'Half Moon Bay,' layers miso 'sand,' uni, and Brokaw avocado with bergamot and papadam—a cross-coastal composition plated as thoughtfully as it tastes. Others go even more off-script: rabbit jus with burnt garlic and carrot purée, or bay leaf-cured scallop with pickled green strawberries and geoduck. Rabbit jus with burnt garlic and carrot purée For those less inclined to go all-in on 15 courses, the Champagne Bar now offers three new curated flights: the Sommeliers' Select ($140), Grower-Producer ($75), and Rosé Sélections ($65). Each offers a different lens on what's pouring from the house's near-120-bottle Champagne list. The new tasting menu is available now, with limited seatings. Reservations highly recommended.

Two arrested after brazen Safeway medicine theft
(KRON) – Authorities found a U-Haul van loaded with shoplifted merchandise and drugs, according to the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department. LGMSPD officer responded to a Safeway on North Santa Cruz Avenue for the report of two grand thefts. Officers were informed that on May 21, two men and a woman stole medicine and first aid equipment. Three days later, the same trio stole the same items. Police were told that the male suspects stuffed the stolen merchandise in luggage, and the woman put the items in her purse. The suspects then fled in a U-Haul van. The suspects reportedly stole more than $2,000 worth of shoplifted items. 37 arrested in SF retail theft operations; ice cream, candy among items recovered Around 8:50 on Thursday, the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno PD was informed by a Flock notification that the U-Haul van was near downtown. Responding officers located two of of three suspects in the U-Haul. The male suspect was identified as a 30-year-old San Jose resident who was under the influence of narcotics, police said. He also provided offices with a false name initially and had warrants. The female suspect was also a San Jose resident. Police said he was carrying drugs and drug paraphernalia. In searching the U-Haul, officers found the shoplifted items from Safeway, a journal containing numerous gift card numbers, a forged check, a stolen wallet and purse, a wig worn by the female suspect in the prior theft and more, according to police.

Bay Area's top qualifiers, storylines at CIF State Track and Field championships
Last season four Metro-area individuals and Pittsburg's 4x100 boys relay team won CIF State Track and Field championships. The year before, there was only one local champion — De La Salle-Concord high jumper Chukwunonso Udeh (now at Cal) won the long jump — and in 2022 three Bay Area girls won state titles: Dublin pole vaulter Jathiyah Muhammad, Los Gatos high jumper Hannah Slover and Montgomery-Santa Rosa 3,200-meter runner Hanne Thomsen. Pittsburg boys senior pole vaulter Khaliq Muhammad: His 17 feet, 1 inch vault not only won him his third North Coast Section Meet of Champions' title on Saturday, but it set a new meet record. His mark is 6 inches better than the field, though defending champion Kai Anderson, of University City-San Diego, is in the mix. Muhammad's sister Jathiyah won her second state title last season, when Khaliq placed second. 'I expect myself to break records and win titles because I've been training at this for 12 years,' Khaliq said. 'Everything is consistent with me now. I've hit 17 feet three meets in a row. Hopefully I can make it four.' Menlo School-Atherton boys senior 3,200 runner Landon Pretre: It's been a steady rise for Pretre, who qualified but did not finish as a freshman in state finals. As a sophomore he ran on the 4x800 relay at state (Menlo placed second) and last year he finished seventh in the 3,200. His winning 8:48.57 Central Coast Section title time last week at cool and blustery Gilroy High was more than a second faster than the runner-up, Piedmont Hills-San Jose senior Yosef Berhan (8:49.65), who is the No. 2 qualifier. De La Salle boys junior sprinter Jaden Jefferson: After placing fourth in the 100 last year in 10.49 seconds, the North Carolina football recruit put together his best performance last week as a prep, winning the NCS MOC 100 in a section-record 10.30 — the state's top qualifying mark — and taking the 200 going away in another PR of 21.11, which ranks fourth. His second leg in the 4x100 relay will be key for the Spartans to place. Their second-place 41.20 time ranks fifth going in. St. Mary's-Berkeley girls junior triple jumper Kira Gant Hatcher: She won by almost a foot at NCS MOC, but her top qualifying mark of 40 feet, 10½ inches was aided by a 4.5 meters-per-second wind. The wind was in her face while winning the long jump at 19-4¾, which ranks second heading into the meet. More storylines • Stanford-bound distance runner Thomsen ranks sixth in the 1,600 (4:47.25) and fifth in the 3,200 (10:19.56), but she was just cruising en route to two of her five NCS MOC titles last week. After winning the state 3,200 as a freshman, she was injured as a sophomore (at Arcada she PR'd in the 3,200 at 9:55.31) and placed second in the 3,200 last season to Eastlake-San Diego's Jaelyn Williams, who is back to defend her title. • St. Ignatius juniors Ellie McCuskey-Hay and Prince Babalola-Buchango could win up to five medals. McCuskey-Hay was the state runner-up in the 100 as a freshman and could challenge again for a gold medal. Babalola-Buchango probably won't be shooting for first, but is looking to final in the 100, 200 and 110 hurdles. • De La Salle's run for a state title is filled with drama and inspiration after losing head coach John Harvey, who died unexpectedly on April 28 due to a respiratory ailment. The Spartans have athletes scattered all over the board, including NCS champions Anthony Dean (triple jump), Trey Caldwell (3,200) and Chase Young (110 hurdles). • Sacred Heart Cathedral 1,600 boys standout Miles Cook has a qualifying time of 4:10.09 but his 4:08.33 mark last season is the fastest in San Francisco prep history. The Cal Poly-bound senior may not win a state title — CCS rivals Benjamin Bouie (Crystal Springs-Hillsborough) and Aydon Stefanopoulos (Los Gatos) have faster times — but he's made an indelible mark on the SHC program and region. 'He's a better person than he is a runner, which is obviously saying a lot,' Irish coach Andy Chan said.

Has Love, Death & Robots been renewed for Season 5? Here's what we know:
Renewed Or Cancelled? Love, Death & Robots is a unique animated anthology that spans numerous different styles and tones across its expansive – but short – episodes. With some thematically sound chapters and a lot of great ideas, if you're a fan of the show you may be wondering if this one's been renewed or cancelled. What is Love, Death & Robots about? Love, Death & Robots is an animated anthology, centering around the three concepts from its title – love, death and robots. Sometimes these chapters feature all three, while other times we're graced with more ambiguous and open-ended chapters. Volume 4 is arguably the weakest of the bunch, with episodes centering largely around sentient cats, alien invasions and humanity coming together to stop bigger threats. We have extensive coverage of Love, Death & Robots across the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find that HERE! Has Love, Death & Robots been renewed for season 5? At the time of writing, Netflix have not renewed Love, Death & Robots for season 5! Given how wildly popular this show is, and the seemingly limitless possibilities for more, this may well have been a no-brainer for the streaming giants though. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Love, Death & Robots has had a mixed reaction from critics and audiences alike to its fifth season, with many commenting (including ourselves) that the plot recycles the same ideas and it doesn't hit the same heights we've seen in seasons past. Given the way this show is set up, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a fifth season. The series has been a flagship animated series for Netflix and given the strong completion rate accompanying this one, it seems like it'll only be a matter of time before it gets the nod. However, we could be completely wrong, given Netflix do love to cancel a lot of their originals, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt! What we know about season 5 so far: Barely anything is known about season 5 at this point, given Netflix have not announced a sequel. It would seem that there would be around 10 episodes, each ranging between 5-15 minutes in length. Expect some returning Directors and more thought provoking ideas to bleed through. We could also see more sequels to previous chapters or some new stand-out stories too. We'll have to wait and see. Are you excited to see Love, Death & Robots return for a fifth season? Or have you had enough of this animated anthology? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
