New ‘Sandman’ Trailer Premieres at SDCC – Death, Desire, & the Eyes of the Corinthian

‘Sandman’ at SDCC featured a star-studded panel, creator insight, and a brand new trailer just a few days before the show’s premiere.

SDCC is back live and in-person this year after the pandemic, and there are major announcements from studios galore! This afternoon, the cast of Netflix’s highly anticipated series The Sandman gave us another look at the show. Including more members of the Endless.

New Trailer from Sandman at SDCC

Behold.

Con attendees got plenty of treats at the Sandman SDCC panel. A clip of Joanna Constantine fighting demons. We get several detailed quick looks at various moments, like a look at Desire’s home, John Dee in the diner, the Corinthian’s eyes, and more details.

This has been a big week for Sandman fans. Before Sandman made an appearance at SDCC, Entertainment Weekly gave us our first official look at Death. Neil Gaiman and Kirby Howell-Baptiste shared their thoughts about the character and the way she sees the world. We also got some exclusive photos.
