In July 2019, after multiple failed attempts to make a screen adaptation, Netflix acquired Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comic book series. Described as "a rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama, and legend are seamlessly interwoven," Gaiman wrote the first episode with show runner Allan Heinberg and David S. Goyer. The author, who is fresh from adapting the novel he wrote with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens, said the first series would only cover Preludes and Nocturnes, the first eight comics in the Sandman series. According to the Hollywood Reporter, sources have described the deal between Netflix and Sandman's owner Warner Bros as "massive" and "the most expensive TV series that division of DC Entertainment has ever done."
