The Sandman Reveals Why Morpheus Died In Season 2 Finale

The Sandman creator Allan Heinberg gave his honest thoughts on why Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) had to die in the Season 2 finale of the Netflix series. Morpheus is the personification of Dream, the ruler of the Dreaming, and a member of the Endless. While he is pretty much an immortal, death came knocking at the end of The Sandman Season 2, Volume 1, when he mercifully killed his son, Orpheus, as a way to atone for his past failures as a father combined with the fact that he owes a boon (which is essentially a favor) to him after he gave the location of his estranged brother, Destruction. Killing a family member in the complex family tree of The Sandman is a forbidden act because it violates a cosmic rule in the grand scheme of things. This is why Morpheus was essentially hunted down by The Kindly Ones (aka the Furies) in Season 2, Volume 2. The Sandman Season 2, Volume 2 premiered on Netflix on July 24, 2025. The cast of the Netflix series includes Tom Sturridge, Umulisa Gahiga, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Boyd Holdbrook, Razane Jammal, and Donna Preston. Read full article on The Direct.
