Barry Sloane (Destruction) teases The Prodigal’s return in The Sandman season 2

BBG News

As a long-time fan of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman comic series, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of season 2. The production process has been a rollercoaster ride with numerous delays due to various industry issues, but finally, we’re in the home stretch.

Since November 2023, production for the second season of The Sandman has been underway, encountering numerous setbacks including writers’ and actors’ strikes. The journey has been lengthy and bumpy, but we’re now in the home stretch, shooting the last two episodes of the season. This upcoming season is promising, as it brings some of the beloved comic storylines to life. New addition Barry Sloane (playing Destruction) is already expressing his excitement for his part in the show.

I’m deeply captivated by the intriguing world of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman,” where Destruction, or The Prodigal as some call him, holds a significant role. As the fourth eldest among the Endless – the immortal siblings who govern various aspects of existence – Destruction once faithfully carried out his duties. However, over time, he grew disillusioned with the destructive forces humanity wields, leading him to question his purpose.

According to Barry Sloane himself, he earned the nickname “The Prodigal” from the team at Deadline due to his behavior during the initial season. He had deserted his post and gone away, but now he’s back.

In Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman,” Destruction, known for his destructive tendencies, exhibits an contrasting side. He lives a tranquil life and shares an intriguing dynamic with his creator, Sloane, who is also his companion in the form of Steve Coogan as Barnabas, their canine friend. They represent the duality of destruction and creation. Destruction holds the power to destroy but simultaneously harbors a desire to create. It’s an intriguing relationship where they engage in deep conversations with their beloved pet.

The Sandman season 2 is likely to be released in two parts

As a gamer, I can tell you that the Deadline article sheds some light on what to expect from season 2 of this game or show we’re following. We’ve learned there will be 12 episodes based on various comic volumes, such as “Season of Mists” and “Brief Lives.” However, beyond that, details are scarce. The intriguing part is the filming of scenes from the final comic volume, “The Kindly Ones,” which seems unusual.

The article proposes a plan for the upcoming season to consist of two parts, similar to how Netflix released Bridgerton. It’s anticipated that the initial installment of episodes will be made available in early 2025.
