Goyer's Tom Sturridge (Dream) and Kirby (Death)-starring live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman hits Netflix screens, the streaming service has been rolling out some big updates about what's ahead (like how a bonus twelfth episode is adapting "Death: The High Cost of Living," more on all of that in a minute). Now, we have two new images to add to your image gallery, with the first spotlighting Morpheus, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge), and the second spotlighting the royal ambassadors to Faerie, Cluracan (Douglas Booth) and Nuala (Ann Skelly):

A six-episode Volume 1 will be released on July 3rd, and a five-episode Volume 2 will be released on July 24th – and then, a bonus episode drops on July 31st that adapts Death: The High Cost of Living.
