Audible announced a second and third installments of The New York Times best-selling, multi-part original audio drama series
The Sandman, confirming
The Sandman: Act III. The announcement follows
The Sandman’s 2020 hugely successful debut, which broke records for the most pre-orders of any Audible Original title and earned the distinction of being the best-selling Audible Original in the company’s history.
You can find the collection of Neil Gaiman’s work right here on Amazon.
The Sandman also occupied the #1 spot on The New York Times Best Seller Audio Fiction list in July 2020 and August 2020. Based on The New York Times best-selling graphic novel series, The Sandman, written by Neil Gaiman and published by DC,
The Kindly Ones and
The Wake, as well as a more recent revival of the series,
Overture, which commemorated the comic’s 25th anniversary. Presumably, Audible will tap into those projects for further seasons if the company opts to continue it.
Yahoo said that Audible hasn’t confirmed the cast for the next two installments, which featured the likes of James McAvoy (Morpheus), Kat Dennings (Death), Targon Egerton (John Constantine), Michael Sheen (Lucifer), Riz Ahmed (the Corinthian), Andy Serkis (Matthew the Raven), and others. Along with Gaiman’s return as narrator and executive producer, Dirk Maggs, who directed the first part, will also return to adapt and direct.
