Season 1 followed the chronology of the comic series fairly closely, and presumably Season 2 will do the same, because Season of Mists is the fourth collection and comes right after the three collections that made up Season 1, Preludes & Nocturnes, The Doll's House, and Dream Country.

Season of Mists follows what happens after Morpheus returns to Hell in search of his lost love, Queen Nada ( Deborah Oyelade), and Lucifer surprises him by freeing all demons and lost souls, abdicating the throne, and handing him the key to the gates of Hell. The Endless 'family meal' and Lucifer and Morpheus' infernal reunion to which Gaiman is referring both happen in Season of Mists, which collects The Sandman issues #21-28. And Lucifer is waiting for Morpheus to return to Hell…' 'Nobody is going to be happier about this than the Sandman cast and crew: They are the biggest Sandman fans there are. 'There are some astonishing stories waiting for Morpheus and the rest of them (not to mention more members of the Endless Family to meet),' he said.

In Netflix's renewal announcement, Neil Gaiman dropped some hints about what source material Season 2 will adapt. According to Netflix, 'the new episodes of the series will dive into that conflict and continue to explore the many challenges facing the universe in the wake of Morpheus' century-long absence.' Season 1 left off with Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) plotting revenge on Morpheus for dealing them a humiliating defeat in battle earlier in the season.

It's possible that rather than releasing a proper season, the show could take on a more anthological style, with more episodes like the two-part 'story collection' bonus episode that was released two weeks after Season 1. Netflix is thrilled that so many of you have been watching Sandman, and the thing we were all hoping would happen.
