The Sandman, the live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's popular graphic novel, has been renewed by streaming service Netflix for the second season.

News of the renewal leaked earlier on Wednesday via a since-deleted tweet from DC Comics, the publisher of the book. The formal announcement came in the evening.

Gaiman said he is elated to work with Netflix, Warner Bros., fellow executive producers Allan Heinberg, and David Goyer, to bring more stories from The Sandman books to life.

"Millions upon millions of people have welcomed and watched and loved The Sandman on Netflix, from established 'Sandman' fans to people who were simply curious, and then became obsessed with the Lord of Dreams, his family and their goings-on," Gaiman said in a prepared statement.

"There are some astonishing stories waiting for Morpheus and the rest of them (not to mention more members of the Endless Family to meet).

"Nobody is going to be happier about this than The Sandman cast and crew: they are the biggest Sandman fans there are.
