Netflix’s Geeked Week started with a bang as the streamer promptly released official trailers and teasers for several upcoming seasons and new shows. And if this is what happens on the first day, who’s to say what news and sneak peeks we may get by Day 5.

Based on the beloved comic series written by Neil Gaiman, The Sandman follows the titular character who is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for over a century.
