“#More Big Names Join Netflix’s Dark Fantasy Adaptation ‘The Sandman’<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The cast continues to grow for Netflix\u2019s adaptation of Neil Gaiman\u2018s The Sandman<\/em> as the show adds a dozen actors to its already impressive ensemble.<\/p>\n

Patton Oswalt and The Serpent<\/em>\u2018s Jenna Coleman join the dark fantasy drama, and Killing Eve<\/em> actor Kirby Howell-Baptiste will play Death, the wiser, nicer, and more sensible sister of Dream (played by the previously announced Tom Sturridge). Also added to the starry cast are Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Niamh Walsh, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Kyo Ra, Stephen Fry, Razane Jammal, and Sandra James Young.<\/p>\n

Gaiman, whose beloved comic book the series<\/a> is based on, said that casting Death, in particular, was a challenging task. \u201cHundreds of talented women from all around the planet auditioned, and they were brilliant, and none of them were right,\u201d he said. \u201cSomeone who could speak the truth to Dream, on the one hand, but also be the person you\u2019d want to meet when your life was done on the other. And then we saw Kirby Howell-Baptiste\u2019s audition and we knew we had our Death.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new additions to the cast join the previously announced Sturridge, Game<\/a> of Thrones<\/em> alum Gwendoline Christie and Charles Dance, Vivienne Acheampong (The Witches<\/em>), Boyd Holbrook (The Fugitive<\/em>), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing<\/em>), and Sanjeev Bhaskar (Unforgotten<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s adaptation of The Sandman<\/em> will be \u201ca rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven.\u201d The story follows the people and places affected by the Dream King, Morpheus, as he attempts to fix the cosmic (and human) mistakes he\u2019s made during his vast existence.<\/p>\n

Park and Preston play Desire and Despair, respectively, brother and sister of Dream. Coleman stars as occultist adventurer Johanna Constantine in a performance Gaiman describes as \u201ctough, brilliant, tricky, [and] haunted.\u201d The character Ethel Cripp, the love of Dance\u2019s Roderick Burgess, is played in the past by Walsh and in the present by Richardson. Fargo<\/em> alum Thewlis, meanwhile, plays Ethel\u2019s mad son John Dee.<\/p>\n

The Doll\u2019s House portion of the series, which is the second big Sandman<\/em> storyline, tells the story of Ra\u2019s Rose Walker, a young woman on a desperate search for her missing brother. Fry plays Rose\u2019s debonair protector Gilbert, while Jammal stars as Rose\u2019s friend and travel<\/a> companion, Lyta Hall. Young plays Unity Kinkaid, Rose\u2019s mysterious benefactor. And Oswalt rounds out the new cast members as the voice of Matthew the Raven, Dream\u2019s trusted emissary.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Oswalt\u2019s casting, Gaiman said, \u201cCould we find an actor who could make you care about a dead person who was now a bird in the Dreaming\u2026 And could we find a voice performer who was also the kind of Sandman<\/em> fan who used to stand in line to get his Sandman<\/em> comics signed? The answer was, we could if we asked Patton Oswalt. And Patton was the first person we asked, and the first person we cast, the day before we pitched The Sandman<\/em> to Netflix.<\/p>\n

The Sandman<\/em> is currently in production; Gaiman writes the series alongside David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight<\/em>) and Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman<\/em>), the latter also serves as showrunner.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
