Author Neil Gaiman has taken to Tumblr to confirm that filming has wrapped on the first season of Netflix’s series adaptation of The Sandman. Gaiman also noted that post-production is now underway, but he can’t confirm when audiences will get a first trailer or a release date.
“Hmm. Well, we’ve finished principal photography on Season 1, and now we all have to be patient while the VFX and suchlike are done, music is written and recorded, and so on. No, I don’t know any release dates, or even when the trailer will be released. It feels like Sandman. I don’t know if that means that people who watch TV will like it – although I hope they will – but I suspect that if you like Sandman and you want to see it on the screen, then you’ll like this. (I also think Tom Sturridge will be a star after season one of Sandman drops.)”
