One of the biggest news items to drop over the weekend was the announcement that Netflix will be producing a live-action TV series based on Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series! The bestselling author has teamed up with David Goyer on the project, which has been granted a huge production budget. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news:
“The drama, from Warner Bros. TV, landed at the streamer with what sources describe as a massive financial commitment and DC Entertainment’s most-expensive TV foray ever.
“Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman, ABC’s The Catch, Grey’s Anatomy) is set to write and serve as showrunner on the straight-to-series drama. Gaiman, who created the ongoing monthly comic, will executive produce alongside David Goyer. Gaiman and Goyer were both attached to New Line’s most recent attempts to adapt Sandman for the big screen.”
