Netflix rolled out an intriguing first look of The Sandman season 2 based on Neil Gaiman’s DC graphic novel. With a sneak peek revealing Norse Gods Thor, Loki, and Odin, the upcoming season is set to tackle the ‘Season of Mists’ storyline. Gwendoline Christie, who plays Lucifer, abdicates Hell's throne with Dream (Morpheus) in charge. This act leads to hell being split over, and many immortals vying to take over with hopes that Dream will give the key to them.
In the featurette, Thor (Laurence O’Fuarain), Loki (Freddie Fox), and Odin (Clive Russell) appear to be attending a banquet that Dream throws. As per Variety, executive producer and showrunner Allan Heinberg defines the banquet as something Dream hosts “for all the visiting deities and gods and fairies."

The featurette also includes interviews with Tom Sturridge, Allan Heinberg, Kirby, and director Jamie Childs. However, Neil Gaiman is not shown in the clip.
