If you were looking forward to the television version of Sandman, we have some bad news. According to Eric Kripke, the series has been shelved.
Kripke was going to serve as producer for the series based on the award-winning comic series by Neil Gaiman.
“Unfortunately, for a lot of varying reasons, Sandman is not in the works, at least for this season,” he tells the Hollywood Reporter.
Kripke expressed hopes that the show would eventually make it to the small screen.
He said that the project “just didn’t quite happen this season through nobody’s fault”, but added: “Hopefully we can do it again in the future.”
Gaiman’s comic centres on Morpheus, the Sandman of legend, who is captured by humans on Earth.
The writer-producer revealed that Gaiman has inspired his own work.
He explained: “When I saw [Neil], I said, ‘Just so you know, I rip you off all the time for the show,’ and he said, ‘I really appreciate that because you and Kevin Smith have both been very public about ripping me off, and I don’t mind if people rip me off, I just want them to be public and admit it.'”
