Netflix has ignited excitement among fans with the release of a tantalizing The Sandman Season 2 teaser, revealing the cast for three pivotal roles. Today, it was announced that the enigmatic characters Delirium, Destiny, and Destruction will be brought to life by a trio of talented actors.
This highly anticipated season, currently in production and slated for a 2025 premiere, promises to delve deeper into the rich and intricate universe that captivated audiences in its first season. This latest update follows our recent coverage on the commencement and progress of the production, heightening anticipation for what is sure to be a spectacular continuation of Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed series.
Who will play Endless as per The Sandman Season 2 Teaser?
Adrian Lester will embody the role of Destiny, Esmé Creed-Miles takes on the character of Delirium, and Barry Sloane will portray The Prodigal. These new additions join Tom Sturridge’s Dream, along with returning cast members Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, and Donna Preston as Despair.
Esmé Creed-Miles as Delirium
Esmé Creed-Miles, who has a unique family connection to “The Sandman” through her mother Samantha Morton—voice of Urania Blackwell in Audible’s dramatization—will portray Delirium. Known for her role as one of the most beloved characters from the comics, Delirium is the youngest of the Endless siblings, formerly known as Delight.
She is characterized by her childish and excitable nature, mismatched eyes, and ever-changing attire. Joining her brother Dream on a quest to find their missing brother Destruction, Delirium embodies pure excitement and joy. Adrian Lester will bring Destiny to life, while Barry Sloane takes on the role of The Prodigal.
Barry Sloane as Destruction
Barry Sloane, who had previously hinted at his involvement through a live stream, will play Destruction, also known as The Prodigal. Destruction, who abandoned his duties upon realizing humanity would self-destruct without his influence, embodies both creation and destruction, reflecting the complex nature of the Endless siblings.
Adrian Lester as Destiny
Adrian Lester, best known for his roles in “Hustle,” “Renegade Nell,” and “The Day After Tomorrow,” will take on the role of Destiny, the all-knowing, eldest Endless sibling. Destiny is blind and resides in the center of a misty, never-ending labyrinth, living in solitude.
He knows everything that has happened and everything that will happen through an enormous book chained around his neck. Lester’s portrayal of Destiny will kick off the “Season of Mists” storyline, where he gathers all of his siblings for an all-important Endless family meeting.
That completes the casting for our Endless family! The new additions are exceptionally well-chosen, and fans are eagerly anticipating seeing them all together for the first time in “The Sandman” Season 2. This season will feature a highly anticipated scene where the entire family gathers for a dinner, a favorite moment from the comics that readers are excited to see brought to life.
Although “The Sandman” Season 2 does not yet have a release date, it is expected to premiere in 2025 as production continues. Meanwhile, fans can enjoy the spinoff series “Dead Boy Detectives,” currently streaming on Netflix. Donna Preston, who made a cameo as Despair in “Dead Boy Detectives,” expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming season and can’t wait for viewers to see what’s in store. The dynamics of the Endless family are about to get even more intriguing.
