    With production well underway on the first season of The Sandman, Netflix has finally revealed the main cast of the DC adaptation. Tom Sturridge (Velvet Buzzsaw) stars in the series as Dream (aka Morpheus), ruler of the ethereal realm known as The Dreaming.

    The cast also includes two Game of Thrones veterans, with Gwendoline Christie playing Lucifer Morningstar and Charles Dance playing occultist Roderick Burgess. Narcos star Boyd Holbrook will play The Corinthian, a rogue nightmare-turned-serial killer created by Morpheus.

    We assume more casting announcements will follow in the coming weeks, as Netflix has yet to reveal other major roles like Dream's sister Death. The streamer also has yet to reveal a release date for the 10-episode first season.

    The Sandman is an adaptation of the DC horror/fantasy comic created by Neil Gaiman, Mike Dringenberg and Sam Keith. Gaiman is executive producing the series along with Allan Heinberg and David Goyer. Heinberg is also serving as showrunner. Prior to Netflix greenlighting the series, The Sandman spent years in development hell, including a phase where Joseph Gordon-Levitt was attached to produce and star in a movie adaptation.

    “For the last thirty-three years, the Sandman characters have breathed and walked around and talked in my head," said Gaiman in a statement. "I'm unbelievably happy that now, finally, they get to step out of my head and into reality. I can't wait until the people out there get to see what we've been seeing as Dream and the rest of them take flesh, and the flesh belongs to some of the finest actors out there. This is astonishing, and I'm so grateful to the actors and to all of The Sandman collaborators — Netflix, Warner Bros., DC, to Allan Heinberg and David Goyer, and the legions of crafters and geniuses on the show — for making the wildest of all my dreams into reality.”

    According to Gaiman, the Netflix series will make significant changes to the source material, including updating the present-day setting for the 21st Century rather than 1989, when the comic originally debuted.

    Interestingly, The Sandman will mark the first time the DC Comics incarnation of Lucifer Morningstar has been played by a woman. That character was previously played by Peter Stormare in 2005's Constantine, Tom Ellis in the Lucifer TV series and Michael Sheen in Audible's audio drama adaptation of The Sandman. Though generally portrayed as male in the comics, The Sandman's Lucifer is an androgynous figure whom Gaiman confirmed was modeled closely on a young David Bowie. Unfortunately, despite the Lucifer series moving from Fox to Netflix, Christie's casting would seem to eliminate any possibility of the two shows coexisting in the same universe.
