The cast is great, @neilhimself! Christie as Lucifer and Dance as Burgess are excellent calls! But your leading man, without even the makeup or the hair, looks EXACTLY like Dream himself come to life! Been on board since issue 1 back in ‘89, so I can’t wait to watch this! https://t.co/o9LFNKiFx9

I'm not knowledgeable in the Sandman comics but the cast alone makes me interested in the series.

WB sold Netflix the rights to this show years ago before anybody had even conceived of HBO Max.

Most definitely.

That's a good cast so far. I wanted to see Tom Ellis as Lucifer for cross-over and $#!@ like that, but Gwendoline Christie is also an excellent choice. Plus she's blonde. I haven't seen Tom Sturridge in anything that I'm aware of, but he sure looks the part. Charles Dance is a great choice for Roderick Burgess. Boyd Holbrook was great in Logan and Narcos and seems an excellent choice for the Corinthian. Not familiar with the others.I'm curious to find out who will play Death.
