The Sandman Season 2 Cast: Here’s Where You’ve Seen The New Additions Before

The Sandman is returning for its second and final season this month, and there are a few new faces joining the Endless family.Season one of the acclaimed Netflix fantasy drama, adapted from Neil Gaiman’s comic book series, followed Dream (played by Tom Sturridge) as he escaped captivity after over a century of being held prisoner. The second run – production on which was already underway when allegations about Gaiman were made public – picks up a few weeks on from the season one finale, with Dream restoring his kingdom, before he’s faced with a series of tough decisions as he attempts to escape the fallout of his past.While the first batch of episodes in season two (dubbed “volume one”) are available to watch now, volume two will drop on 24 July, followed by a bonus episode on 31 July.If you’re getting ready to watch the first half of season two (or already have!) here’s where you’ve probably seen the new additions to the show before…Steve CooganSteve Coogan in character as Alan Partridge in the 2013 film Alpha PapaThe British TV legend joins the show as the voice of Destruction’s dog Barnabus.
