It’s time to rouse from your slumber, dear reader, as The Sandman season 2 has just got an exciting cast update.

The hit Netflix fantasy series’ next entry, which is still being filmed following its Covid-19-enforced hiatus, only added three curiously great hires to portray iconic characters Destiny, Delirium, and The Prodigal in late May. Less than two months later, nine more new faces have joined the cast roster, and there are more than a couple of familiar faces among the acclaimed show’s latest additions.

Per The Sandman‘s X/Twitter account, season 2 will introduce Ruairi O’Connor (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) as Orpheus, the son of Morpheus/Dream, who’ll once again be played by Tom Sturridge, and Calliope (Melissanthi Mahut), the protagonist of one of The Sandman season 1’s dreamy bonus episode stories.

One of the best Netflix shows‘ sophomore outings will bring The Sandman‘s take on Norse gods and brothers Loki and Thor to life, too, with Freddie Fox (House of the Dragon season 2) and Laurence O’Fuarain (The Witcher: Blood Origin) set to play the God of Mischief and God of Thunder respectively. Steve Coogan, who is well known among UK audiences for his parodical take on TV personalities in the cringe-inducing Alan Partridge, as signed on to voice Barnabas, the talking dog companion of The Prodigal/Destruction.
