Last July, Netflix announced that Neil Gaiman's popular The Sandman comic book series from DC/ Vertigo would be adapted into a live-action series. Gaiman will serve as writer and producer alongside David S. Goyer, but the streaming giant hasn't revealed many details about the project yet.

Just in case you're not familiar with Gaiman's iconic series, you can read a description of The Sandman series below:
"The Sandman universe is a master-creation following Dream, also known as Morpheus, lord of the Dreaming -- a vast, hallucinatory landscape that houses all the dreams of any and everyone who has ever existed. Gods, demons, mortals, and everything in between. All dreamers visit the Dreaming and have an opportunity to teach Morpheus some surprising lessons.
After being captive for 70 years, Morpheus will have to go on a journey to reclaim his objects of power and bring order to the Dreaming."
The Sandman box set will be released on September 29, and it's available for pre-order on Amazon for $250.
