Netflix’s explanation for the reason for stopping The Sandman Series is not convincing

Netflix did at the end of January a notification that did not surprise anyone. Streaming company stops after two seasons The Sandman -a series based on Neil Gaimanin Written in a cartoon of the same name.

Instead, the reason for the end of the TV series was surprising. Series creator Allan Heinberg by The authors of the series decided Already in 2022 that only one season will be produced. The material of the main character, Mr. Morfeus of dreams (Tom Sturridge)), the story was not enough for a longer series.

Funny crazy. Sorry only Netflix, but it’s pretty hard to believe.

The Sandman -The cartoon has 75 parts. The TV series did not even reach the issue 20. It is true that the book has a lot of characters and sidelines, and individual stories from the single mainstream. But even if the rumble has been eliminated, the story would have been easily enough for several seasons.

The reason for the quitting is probably different. Netflix did not mention that many women have accused Gaimani in public about sexual violence and rape. Gaiman himself has denied all accusations.

Netflix on the official side page with tudum in published The Sandmanin The end of the end does not even mention the name of Neil Gaiman. Message too.

Netflix The fact that Gaima, Netflix and Heinberg all spoke clearly about a series of several seasons in 2022. So completely contradict what Netflix now claims.

Netflix The Tudum page was written about the series And its future in August 2022. “The TV series will use many of these twists and turns to pave the upcoming seasons.”

Upcoming seasons, in plural.

About the same time Neil Gaiman said to BBCthat “Sandman needs time ”. He told how the first season of the series is 340 speeches, but that “it’s just the beginning. So far we have adapted 400 pages of 3,000. ”

In the most serious In conflict with Heinberg’s recent claim, his own words are. Heinberg wrote on the Den of Geek page With Netflix as a commercial collaboration a so -called buffet about what it was like to do The Sandman series.

“In an era of streaming Game of Thronesin and Watchmenin Thanks to the success of the series, we were able to pitch The Sandmania As a multi -season epic story, ”he wrote in 2022.

The matter is clear. The plan was to make many years -long series. Each of the authors of the series knew the cartoon thoroughly when the first season appeared. It is not credible that after the first season, they would have surprised themselves by realizing that “hey – here’s just stuff for just one season!”

Of course, the reason may also be the price. The first season of the series was expensive, but it also had a lot of viewers. If the reason was the price, why not said it? The series are constantly being stopped unprofitable.

The fate of the second season has been hanging in the air since last summer, when the first accusations against Gaiman became public. There is no credible communication from Netflix two weeks after The Vulture released new more serious accusations of Gaiman that the decision was made more than two years ago.

Perhaps Netflix would have been the best to accept that “Cancellation” is not the nightmare of the sort that it should be so transparently hidden.
