The Sandman (TV series)

Updated: 12/10/2025, 4:57:21 PM Wikipedia source

The Sandman is an American fantasy drama television series based on the 1989–1996 comic book written by Neil Gaiman and published by DC Comics. The series was developed by Gaiman, David S. Goyer, and Allan Heinberg for the streaming service Netflix and is produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television. Like the comic, The Sandman tells the story of Dream / Morpheus, the titular Sandman. The series stars Tom Sturridge as the title character with Boyd Holbrook, Vivienne Acheampong, and Patton Oswalt in supporting roles. Efforts to adapt The Sandman to film began in 1991 but floundered in development hell for many years. In 2013, Goyer pitched a film adaptation of the series to Warner Bros. Goyer and Gaiman were set to produce alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was planned to star and possibly direct. However, Gordon-Levitt exited over creative differences in 2016. Due to the prolonged development of the film, Warner Bros. shifted its focus to television. Netflix signed a deal to produce the series in June 2019 and filming lasted from October 2020 to August 2021. The series has received positive reviews from critics with praise going toward the casting, production design, costumes, faithfulness to its source material, visual effects, and performances. The Sandman premiered on August 5, 2022, with 10 episodes available immediately. An additional special episode became available on August 19. In November 2022, it was renewed for a second season which premiered across two parts on July 3 and 24, 2025, concluding with a special episode on July 31. In January 2025, it was announced that the series would end with the second season.

"Sleep of the Just"
Directed by

Teleplay by
Neil Gaiman & David S. Goyer & Allan Heinberg
Original release date
August 5, 2022 (2022-08-05)
In 1916, aristocrat Roderick Burgess wants to capture Death in the hope of obtaining supernatural powers. While attempting an occult ritual to summon Death, Roderick accidentally captures Dream, also known as Morpheus, a god-like figure who rules Dreaming, the source of all dreams. He imprisons Morpheus and steals his totems of power: a magic helm, a pouch of dream-sand, and a powerful ruby that makes dreams come true. This causes a global epidemic of "sleeping sickness" that will last as long as Morpheus is imprisoned. Some time later, the totems are stolen by Roderick's lover, Ethel, who runs away after falling pregnant. For 106 years Morpheus is silent, trapped first by Roderick and then his younger son, Alex. In 2021, Alex is an old man who lives with his partner, Paul. After Paul "accidentally" smudges the ring of runes written around Morpheus' cage, Morpheus reaches into the dream of one of the sleeping guards and escapes. Adapted from The Sandman #1 ("Sleep of the Just").

"Imperfect Hosts"
Directed by

Allan Heinberg
Original release date
August 5, 2022 (2022-08-05)
Morpheus returns to the Dreaming to find a kingdom in ruins that he is unable to restore without his totems of power. His librarian, Lucienne, takes him to visit Cain and Abel. Morpheus informs them that he must un-dream their pet gargoyle in order to reabsorb the power used to create it. This restores enough power for Morpheus to summon the three Fates, who he hopes will help find his totems. The Fates grant him one question from each of them, which he uses to deduce various clues; the pouch of dream-sand was sold to an exorcist named Johanna Constantine, his helm was sold to a demon in Hell, and the ruby was given to Ethel's son, John Dee. Back in the Dreaming, Abel shows Cain a glimmering egg, ostensibly left in Abel's grave by Morpheus. It hatches into a baby gargoyle that they name Goldie. Adapted from The Sandman #2 ("Imperfect Hosts").

Seeking the return of his dream-sand, Morpheus finds the exorcist Johanna Constantine, who intends to send the demon Agileth back to Hell after it used the body of Kevin Brody to marry the London Princess. Morpheus looks into one of Johanna's previous nightmares and sees a botched exorcism that took her friend, Astra Logue, to Hell. Joined by his new raven advisor, Matthew, Morpheus goes with Johanna to visit her ex-girlfriend, Rachel, who is addicted to the dream-sand keeping her alive. Johanna persuades Morpheus to lay Rachel to rest, and he does, retrieving his pouch. Now more than a hundred years-old, Ethel Cripps retains her youth by use of a protection amulet she obtained in a trade with a demon from Hell. Warned by the Corinthian that Morpheus is seeking his stolen totems, Ethel travels to a mental institution in Buffalo, New York to visit her son, John, who is committed there due to a dark obsession with Morpheus' ruby. John convinces her to help him get the ruby, and Ethel removes the protection amulet to give to him. She immediately ages, and dies. John uses the amulet's power to escape the institution.

To retrieve his helm, Morpheus descends into the kingdom of Hell where he meets its ruler, Lucifer Morningstar. He finds the demon Choronzon with the helm and demands its return. Choronzon challenges Morpheus to a game of wits, with the helm as the prize. Morpheus accepts and chooses to represent himself in the challenge, but Choronzon fools Morpheus and chooses Lucifer as a champion against Morpheus. Morpheus struggles against Lucifer, eventually winning the challenge by invoking hope—a concept that Lucifer recognizes as unbeatable. Choronzon refuses to award the helm to Morpheus, and is thrown off the balcony by Lucifer as punishment. Before Morpheus leaves Hell, Lucifer vows to kill him one day. John Dee is offered assistance retrieving the ruby by a Good Samaritan named Rosemary, but not before Morpheus discovers its whereabouts. Morpheus also learns that John has attuned the ruby to his own wishes and that it won't obey anyone else. Upon retrieving the ruby, John passes the protection amulet to a terrified Rosemary deciding that he no longer needs it while sparing her life. Adapted from The Sandman #4 ("A Hope in Hell") and #5 ("Passengers").

Now in possession of the ruby, John takes refuge in a local diner. There, he uses the ruby's power to prevent the patrons and staff (and the world at large, shown via the television) from being able to lie in an experiment to see if a world without lies would be a better one, eventually driving them to give up on their aspirations, give into their base desires, and either murder each other or commit suicide. Morpheus arrives and transports John to the realm of dreams where John appears to use the ruby's power to defeat Morpheus. Crushing the ruby in his hand, John exults in his victory before Morpheus reveals himself and tells him that by destroying the ruby, its power was released back into its true master which is Morpheus. John says that he just wanted to stop all the deception and treachery in the world, but Morpheus tells him that people can't have dreams if they can only experience the truth. Without hopes and dreams people can aspire to, life is not worth living. Taking pity on John, Morpheus returns him to the institution, seemingly in a state of long-term sleep. Elsewhere, Morpheus's sibling Desire plots against him. Adapted from The Sandman #6 ("24 Hours") and #7 ("Sound and Fury").

Now aimless after obtaining his tools, Morpheus is visited by his sister Death and accompanies her as she escorts the recently deceased to the afterlife. Death attempts to show Morpheus the possibility of finding purpose and fulfillment in his duties as ruler of the Dreaming. In a flashback to the Middle Ages, Morpheus and Death visit a tavern where they encounter Hob Gadling, a commoner who vocally wishes to never die.

Despite Lucienne's protests, Morpheus agrees to help Rose locate Jed. During the day, Rose and the other guests at the bed and breakfast post signs around Cape Kennedy, which attracts the attention of the Corinthian. That night, Morpheus and Rose travel through the dreams of the guests, eventually crossing into Jed's dreams, which Gault has manipulated to provide an emotional escape from his abusive uncle. Morpheus rebukes and punishes Gault for stepping outside her duties by sending her to the Darkness, though Gault maintains that she disobeyed because she believed it was in Jed's best interest. Meanwhile, Lyta seemingly reunites with her deceased husband Hector Hall in the Dreaming. Hector attempts to convince Lyta to stay in the Dreaming and have a baby with him. When Lyta wakes up, she is visibly pregnant. The Corinthian locates Jed after killing the social worker upon getting his location from her. He murders Clarice and Barnaby and kidnaps Jed to lure Rose to the serial killer convention that is disguised as a "cereal convention".

Morpheus rebukes and punishes Gault for stepping outside her duties by sending her to the Darkness, though Gault maintains that she disobeyed because she believed it was in Jed's best interest. Meanwhile, Lyta seemingly reunites with her deceased husband Hector Hall in the Dreaming. Hector attempts to convince Lyta to stay in the Dreaming and have a baby with him. When Lyta wakes up, she is visibly pregnant. The Corinthian locates Jed after killing the social worker upon getting his location from her. He murders Clarice and Barnaby and kidnaps Jed to lure Rose to the serial killer convention that is disguised as a "cereal convention".

"Dream of a Thousand Cats": Late one night in this animated story, a Siamese cat holds a gathering of other cats to tell her story about her encounter with Morpheus. A long time ago, she met a tomcat with whom she gave birth to a litter of mixed-breed kittens. This displeased her owners Paul and Marion who took the kittens and threw them into a river, traumatizing the Siamese cat. In desperation, the cat dreamed of meeting Morpheus in the form of a large black cat after encounters with a skull crow and the Wyvern, Griffin, and Hippogriff that guard his cave. The cat begged Morpheus for a solution. Morpheus presented her with a parallel universe in which cats were the dominant species over humans until the humans fought back by dreaming at the suggestion of a golden-haired rebel human, re-creating reality and turning their masters into the cats that mankind sees them as today. Upon finishing her story, the Siamese cat urges the other cats to perform the same enlightenment so that they may reclaim their status as the rulers of the earth. "Calliope": In August 2018, struggling author Richard Madoc visits an elderly former writer named Erasmus Fry who has imprisoned the Muse Calliope. Fry transfers ownership of Calliope to Madoc who discovers that by raping her, he receives inspiration. He does this more than once despite his promises until it becomes obvious he never intends to let her go. By August 2022, with Madoc still holding Calliope captive, she tricks him into unknowingly sending a message to the recently released Morpheus (whom she affectionately calls Oneiros), her former husband, whom she has not seen since the tragic death of their son Orpheus. Morpheus becomes enraged and confronts Madoc and curses him with an uncontrollable stream of ideas. Madoc soon has his student Nora free Calliope, who asks Morpheus to lift his curse from Madoc. Morpheus does so and Madoc finds himself unable to remember Calliope, Morpheus, or any of his obtained ideas. Calliope vows to make sure that what happened to her doesn't happen to her sister Muses. She and Morpheus share a tender goodbye as she expresses the hope that she can visit him in his realm to grieve their son properly. Adapted from The Sandman #18 ("A Dream of a Thousand Cats") and #17 ("Calliope").

"Sleep of the Just"
Mike Barker
Neil Gaiman & David S. Goyer & Allan Heinberg
August 5, 2022 (2022-08-05)
In 1916, aristocrat Roderick Burgess wants to capture Death in the hope of obtaining supernatural powers. While attempting an occult ritual to summon Death, Roderick accidentally captures Dream, also known as Morpheus, a god-like figure who rules Dreaming, the source of all dreams. He imprisons Morpheus and steals his totems of power: a magic helm, a pouch of dream-sand, and a powerful ruby that makes dreams come true. This causes a global epidemic of "sleeping sickness" that will last as long as Morpheus is imprisoned. Some time later, the totems are stolen by Roderick's lover, Ethel, who runs away after falling pregnant. For 106 years Morpheus is silent, trapped first by Roderick and then his younger son, Alex. In 2021, Alex is an old man who lives with his partner, Paul. After Paul "accidentally" smudges the ring of runes written around Morpheus' cage, Morpheus reaches into the dream of one of the sleeping guards and escapes. Adapted from The Sandman ("Sleep of the Just").

Morpheus returns to the Dreaming to find a kingdom in ruins that he is unable to restore without his totems of power. His librarian, Lucienne, takes him to visit Cain and Abel. Morpheus informs them that he must un-dream their pet gargoyle in order to reabsorb the power used to create it. This restores enough power for Morpheus to summon the three Fates, who he hopes will help find his totems. The Fates grant him one question from each of them, which he uses to deduce various clues; the pouch of dream-sand was sold to an exorcist named Johanna Constantine, his helm was sold to a demon in Hell, and the ruby was given to Ethel's son, John Dee. Back in the Dreaming, Abel shows Cain a glimmering egg, ostensibly left in Abel's grave by Morpheus. It hatches into a baby gargoyle that they name Goldie.

Seeking the return of his dream-sand, Morpheus finds the exorcist Johanna Constantine, who intends to send the demon Agileth back to Hell after it used the body of Kevin Brody to marry the London Princess. Morpheus looks into one of Johanna's previous nightmares and sees a botched exorcism that took her friend, Astra Logue, to Hell. Joined by his new raven advisor, Matthew, Morpheus goes with Johanna to visit her ex-girlfriend, Rachel, who is addicted to the dream-sand keeping her alive. Johanna persuades Morpheus to lay Rachel to rest, and he does, retrieving his pouch. Now more than a hundred years-old, Ethel Cripps retains her youth by use of a protection amulet she obtained in a trade with a demon from Hell. Warned by the Corinthian that Morpheus is seeking his stolen totems, Ethel travels to a mental institution in Buffalo, New York to visit her son, John, who is committed there due to a dark obsession with Morpheus' ruby. John convinces her to help him get the ruby, and Ethel removes the protection amulet to give to him. She immediately ages, and dies. John uses the amulet's power to escape the institution.

To retrieve his helm, Morpheus descends into the kingdom of Hell where he meets its ruler, Lucifer Morningstar. He finds the demon Choronzon with the helm and demands its return. Choronzon challenges Morpheus to a game of wits, with the helm as the prize. Morpheus accepts and chooses to represent himself in the challenge, but Choronzon fools Morpheus and chooses Lucifer as a champion against Morpheus. Morpheus struggles against Lucifer, eventually winning the challenge by invoking hope—a concept that Lucifer recognizes as unbeatable. Choronzon refuses to award the helm to Morpheus, and is thrown off the balcony by Lucifer as punishment. Before Morpheus leaves Hell, Lucifer vows to kill him one day. John Dee is offered assistance retrieving the ruby by a Good Samaritan named Rosemary, but not before Morpheus discovers its whereabouts. Morpheus also learns that John has attuned the ruby to his own wishes and that it won't obey anyone else. Upon retrieving the ruby, John passes the protection amulet to a terrified Rosemary deciding that he no longer needs it while sparing her life.

Now in possession of the ruby, John takes refuge in a local diner. There, he uses the ruby's power to prevent the patrons and staff (and the world at large, shown via the television) from being able to lie in an experiment to see if a world without lies would be a better one, eventually driving them to give up on their aspirations, give into their base desires, and either murder each other or commit suicide. Morpheus arrives and transports John to the realm of dreams where John appears to use the ruby's power to defeat Morpheus. Crushing the ruby in his hand, John exults in his victory before Morpheus reveals himself and tells him that by destroying the ruby, its power was released back into its true master which is Morpheus. John says that he just wanted to stop all the deception and treachery in the world, but Morpheus tells him that people can't have dreams if they can only experience the truth. Without hopes and dreams people can aspire to, life is not worth living. Taking pity on John, Morpheus returns him to the institution, seemingly in a state of long-term sleep. Elsewhere, Morpheus's sibling Desire plots against him. Adapted from The Sandman ("24 Hours") and ("Sound and Fury").

Now aimless after obtaining his tools, Morpheus is visited by his sister Death and accompanies her as she escorts the recently deceased to the afterlife. Death attempts to show Morpheus the possibility of finding purpose and fulfillment in his duties as ruler of the Dreaming. In a flashback to the Middle Ages, Morpheus and Death visit a tavern where they encounter Hob Gadling, a commoner who vocally wishes to never die. Death agrees to spare Gadling for as long as he wishes. Hob and Morpheus continue to meet each other once every century with one gathering having them nearly caught by an ancestor of Johanna Constantine. Hob maintains that no matter which turns his life takes, he still does not wish for death. Hob hypothesizes that Morpheus continues to meet with him because he is lonely and friendless, which greatly offends Morpheus. Due to Morpheus's capture by Burgess, he is unable to attend his regular meeting with Hob. When their usual location is sold, Hob chooses a new tavern a block away hoping that Morpheus will find him. Back in the present, Morpheus sees a sign that directs him to "The New Inn". The two reunite with Morpheus finally acknowledging Hob as a friend. Elsewhere, Desire continues their plans.

In 2015, Rose Walker and her brother Jed are separated when their parents divorce. Following the death of both parents, Jed is placed in the foster home system in 2021 despite Rose's attempts to locate him and claim legal guardianship. Rose is unknowingly a Vortex, a being who naturally attracts and manipulates dreams, and Desire and their twin sister Despair conspire to use Rose against Morpheus. Aware of Rose's nature, Morpheus plans to use her to track three errant residents of the Dreaming who are still at large: Corinthian, Gault, and Fiddler's Green. Rose and her friend Lyta Hall travel to England to meet Unity Kinkaid, a wealthy recovered victim of sleep sickness. Unity reveals that she is Rose's biological great-grandmother. Unity offers to fund Rose's search for Jed, and Rose and Lyta travel to Florida. Unable to locate Jed in either the Dreaming or the waking world, Lucienne and Morpheus deduce that Gault has severed Jed's consciousness from the Dreaming. Rose approaches Lucienne and Morpheus in the Dreaming for assistance. Meanwhile, the Corinthian is hunting for Rose and is invited as the guest of honor for a serial killer convention by the serial killers Nimrod, Fun Land, and The Good Doctor who had to do a copycat crime to draw him towards them.

Returning to the Dreaming, Dream soon finds it flooded by delegations of supernatural beings seeking dominion over Hell, among them being the gods Susano-o-no-Mikoto; Odin, Thor and Loki; a retinue from Faerie led by Cluracan and Nuala; and a group of demons led by Azazel, Choronzon, and Merkin who demand to return to Hell. Two angels, Remiel and Duma, descend from Heaven as observers for the Creator. Dream welcomes everyone in his palace as guests and throws a banquet to watch all and decide who to give the Key to Hell to. Aside from the night's entertainment provided by Cain and Abel, several guests approach Dream with bribes, among them Azazel who reveals he has captured Nada's soul and is willing to exchange it for the Key to Hell.

In the Dreaming, Nuala runs into Dream and they recount their first meeting. In England, 1593, Dream inspires William Shakespeare to write A Midsummer Night's Dream and makes him play it for King Auberon, Queen Titania, and their courtiers as an attempt to heal a rift between the Dreaming and Faerie by making mankind forever remember the fae through the play. Auberon and Titania like the play and make amends with Dream. In the present, Dream discusses his dilemma with Nuala and the next morning, everyone assembles to hear his decision. Dream ultimately decides to return the lordship of Hell to the Creator, provoking Azazel into attacking him. However, being in the Dreaming, his seat of power, Dream easily overpowers Azazel and saves Nada. Before his departure, Cluracan reveals that Nuala is a gift to Dream from Titania, and Dream reluctantly accepts after Nuala herself agrees to stay. Dream finds out that Loki, trying to escape imprisonment by his fellow gods, posed as Susano. Dream, in exchange of a promise of future service, lets Loki go and then approaches a retired Lucifer and they peacefully part ways. Later, he apologizes to Nada. She tells him she doesn't want to stay in the Dreaming and leaves for the waking world instead.

Delirium unexpectedly pays a visit to Dream, who is still heartbroken over Nada's departure, seeking his help in finding their absent brother, Destruction. Reluctant at first, Dream agrees, secretly hoping to encounter Nada on Earth instead of his brother. Destruction is seen engaging in painting and poetry, accompanied by Barnabas, a talking dog, on a remote island. Dream and Delirium enlist Wanda, a transgender woman and employee of Dream's old friend, to help them track down Destruction's contacts. The first of them, however, dies just before they find him and Dream grows suspicious that an unknown force is preventing them from finding Destruction. Next, they seek Ishtar, an old god and Destruction's former lover who, depowered without worship, works as a club dancer. After a heated discussion with Dream, Ishtar performs a mesmerizing dance for her audience, but a sudden explosion kills everyone in the club including Ishtar and Wanda. With Desire's hint, Delirium realizes Dream was lying to her and leaves her siblings in anger.

Remorseful about Wanda's death, Dream attends her funeral where Death persuades him to make amends with Delirium. Dream enters Delirium's realm and eventually reconnects with her. Resuming their quest to locate Destruction, they seek advice from Destiny. He tells Dream that only his son, an oracle of Endless blood, can help them. In a flashback to Greece, 1700 BC, the Endless attend the wedding of Orpheus, son of Dream and Calliope. That night, however, Orpheus' wife Eurydice dies from a snake bite. Orpheus begs Dream to help him retrieve Eurydice from the Underworld, but he refuses. With Destruction's help, Orpheus then approaches Death and she reluctantly makes him immortal, allowing him to travel to the Underworld. Once there, Orpheus persuades Hades and Persephone to revive Eurydice, but then fails the test of faith presented to him, leaving Eurydice to stay dead. Against the caution of Calliope, the desperate Orpheus lets himself be torn apart by Maenads, murderous worshippers of Dionysus. He, however, cannot die and begs Dream to kill him, to no avail. In the present, a distraught Dream and Delirium depart to see Orpheus.

In a flashback to 1794, Dream approaches Lady Johanna Constantine with a task to retrieve Orpheus' living head from France and bring it back to a temple in Greece where it would be safeguarded by priests. Hunted down by Maximilien Robespierre and his men, Constantine succeeds with the help of Orpheus himself, whose song incites the end to Robespierre's tyranny. After returning Orpheus' head to his temple, Constantine asks Dream for a chance to visit Orpheus. In the present, Dream and Delirium pass her grave near Orpheus' temple. There, Dream reunites with Orpheus and he discloses the location of Destruction. Dream and Delirium approach Destruction who welcomes them gleefully. The three discuss Destruction's departure from his duties and his wards against being found being the cause of the deaths of Wanda, Ishtar and others. He alludes that mortals are capable of great destruction on their own, without the need of him being complicit. Despite Delirium's plea, Destruction bids them farewell, imparts an advice on Dream and gives Barnabas to Delirium to keep her company. With that, he disappears into the sky. Dream and Orpheus reconcile and upon Orpheus' request, Dream kills him, later mourning him in tears. Elsewhere, the Kindly Ones condemn Dream for spilling family blood.

Journalist Sexton Furnival writes a suicide note to his ex-girlfriend, Sylvie, convinced that the world is heading to an inevitable end. He trips while in a dump and meets Death, who reveals herself and tells him it is her day off, though Sexton does not believe her. Hettie asks for Death's help to find her soul. Death takes Sexton with her and they go to a club, where they meet Sexton's roommate Billie, her girlfriend Amelia and their friend Jackie, in whom Sexton becomes interested. Sexton introduces Death as Didi and they meet the club owner Theo. Theo becomes interested in Didi and asks her to come upstairs with him, though she brings Sexton along. They realize it is a setup, as Theo has realized who she is and has summoned her to bring back his girlfriend Natalie. They try to talk to a distraught Theo, who ends up falling and injuring himself before being taken to a hospital. The next day, Didi buys a necklace and asks Sexton to give it to Hettie. Didi suddenly dies after her day off and Hettie reveals that there is a picture of her daughter inside the necklace. At home, Amelia brings Jackie and Sexton, no longer suicidal, asks her out. Didi wakes up in Death's realm and tells Death she loves mortality and doesn't want it to end. Adapted from the 1993 three-issue limited series Death: The High Cost of Living.

"Season of Mists"
Jamie Childs
Allan Heinberg
July 3, 2025 (2025-07-03)
Dream starts to rebuild the Dreaming, but is interrupted by summons to attend a family gathering of the Endless where he meets his siblings, Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair and Delirium. As they mention their absent brother who broke off contact with them centuries ago, Destiny explains that the Fates have revealed a cryptic prophecy to him that would start to unwind with their meeting. Desire aggravates Dream, reminding him of Nada, a human queen whom he fell in love with millennia ago, but condemned to Hell after she ended the relationship, claiming the Endless and mortals cannot live together after their affair led to the destruction of her kingdom. After a discussion with Death, Dream resolves to save Nada, making the Dreaming secure and meeting Lyta Hall and Hob Gadling, all in case he would not return. As Dream enters Hell, Lucifer Morningstar calls on the demonic legions, intent to execute revenge on Dream for his humiliation during their past clash.

July 3, 2025 (2025-07-03)
Finding Hell eerily empty upon his arrival, Dream is confronted by Lucifer who, weary of her duty, has abdicated the throne and released all souls and demons to roam other worlds. Lucifer persuades Dream to ceremoniously cut off her wings and with that, she exacts her revenge, making Dream the custodian of Hell. Returning to the Dreaming, Dream soon finds it flooded by delegations of supernatural beings seeking dominion over Hell, among them being the gods Susano-o-no-Mikoto; Odin, Thor and Loki; a retinue from Faerie led by Cluracan and Nuala; and a group of demons led by Azazel, Choronzon, and Merkin who demand to return to Hell. Two angels, Remiel and Duma, descend from Heaven as observers for the Creator. Dream welcomes everyone in his palace as guests and throws a banquet to watch all and decide who to give the Key to Hell to. Aside from the night's entertainment provided by Cain and Abel, several guests approach Dream with bribes, among them Azazel who reveals he has captured Nada's soul and is willing to exchange it for the Key to Hell.

Jamie Childs
Alexander Wise
July 3, 2025 (2025-07-03)
In the Dreaming, Nuala runs into Dream and they recount their first meeting. In England, 1593, Dream inspires William Shakespeare to write A Midsummer Night's Dream and makes him play it for King Auberon, Queen Titania, and their courtiers as an attempt to heal a rift between the Dreaming and Faerie by making mankind forever remember the fae through the play. Auberon and Titania like the play and make amends with Dream. In the present, Dream discusses his dilemma with Nuala and the next morning, everyone assembles to hear his decision. Dream ultimately decides to return the lordship of Hell to the Creator, provoking Azazel into attacking him. However, being in the Dreaming, his seat of power, Dream easily overpowers Azazel and saves Nada. Before his departure, Cluracan reveals that Nuala is a gift to Dream from Titania, and Dream reluctantly accepts after Nuala herself agrees to stay. Dream finds out that Loki, trying to escape imprisonment by his fellow gods, posed as Susano. Dream, in exchange of a promise of future service, lets Loki go and then approaches a retired Lucifer and they peacefully part ways. Later, he apologizes to Nada. She tells him she doesn't want to stay in the Dreaming and leaves for the waking world instead.

Delirium unexpectedly pays a visit to Dream, who is still heartbroken over Nada's departure, seeking his help in finding their absent brother, Destruction.

Destruction is seen engaging in painting and poetry, accompanied by Barnabas, a talking dog, on a remote island. Dream and Delirium enlist Wanda, a transgender woman and employee of Dream's old friend, to help them track down Destruction's contacts. The first of them, however, dies just before they find him and Dream grows suspicious that an unknown force is preventing them from finding Destruction. Next, they seek Ishtar, an old god and Destruction's former lover who, depowered without worship, works as a club dancer. After a heated discussion with Dream, Ishtar performs a mesmerizing dance for her audience, but a sudden explosion kills everyone in the club including Ishtar and Wanda. With Desire's hint, Delirium realizes Dream was lying to her and leaves her siblings in anger.

Remorseful about Wanda's death, Dream attends her funeral where Death persuades him to make amends with Delirium. Dream enters Delirium's realm and eventually reconnects with her. Resuming their quest to locate Destruction, they seek advice from Destiny. He tells Dream that only his son, an oracle of Endless blood, can help them. In a flashback to Greece, 1700 BC, the Endless attend the wedding of Orpheus, son of Dream and Calliope. That night, however, Orpheus' wife Eurydice dies from a snake bite. Orpheus begs Dream to help him retrieve Eurydice from the Underworld, but he refuses. With Destruction's help, Orpheus then approaches Death and she reluctantly makes him immortal, allowing him to travel to the Underworld. Once there, Orpheus persuades Hades and Persephone to revive Eurydice, but then fails the test of faith presented to him, leaving Eurydice to stay dead. Against the caution of Calliope, the desperate Orpheus lets himself be torn apart by Maenads, murderous worshippers of Dionysus. He, however, cannot die and begs Dream to kill him, to no avail. In the present, a distraught Dream and Delirium depart to see Orpheus.

In a flashback to 1794, Dream approaches Lady Johanna Constantine with a task to retrieve Orpheus' living head from France and bring it back to a temple in Greece where it would be safeguarded by priests. Hunted down by Maximilien Robespierre and his men, Constantine succeeds with the help of Orpheus himself, whose song incites the end to Robespierre's tyranny. After returning Orpheus' head to his temple, Constantine asks Dream for a chance to visit Orpheus. In the present, Dream and Delirium pass her grave near Orpheus' temple. There, Dream reunites with Orpheus and he discloses the location of Destruction. Dream and Delirium approach Destruction who welcomes them gleefully. The three discuss Destruction's departure from his duties and his wards against being found being the cause of the deaths of Wanda, Ishtar and others. He alludes that mortals are capable of great destruction on their own, without the need of him being complicit. Despite Delirium's plea, Destruction bids them farewell, imparts an advice on Dream and gives Barnabas to Delirium to keep her company. With that, he disappears into the sky. Dream and Orpheus reconcile and upon Orpheus' request, Dream kills him, later mourning him in tears. Elsewhere, the Kindly Ones condemn Dream for spilling family blood.
