The Amazon-owned company, which produces audio entertainment content, said the follow-up part, titled “The Sandman: Act II,” will be released on its platform on September 22.

It will again be adapted and directed by Dirk Maggs and narrated by Gaiman, who is also Creative Director and Co-Executive Producer, according to a press release from Audible.

The voice over for the audio-drama series features an ensemble cast, led by James McAvoy in the title role of Dream, with Kat Dennings, Michael Sheen and Andy Serkis reprising their respective roles.

They are joined by Jeffrey Wright, Rege-Jean Page, Brian Cox, Emma Corrin, John Lithgow, David Tennant, Bill Nighy, Kristen Schaal, Kevin Smith, Aidan Turner, Bebe Neuwirth, Adrian Lester, Miriam Margolyes, Arthur Darvill and Ray Porter .

“The Sandman,” which Gaiman created alongside artists Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg, was originally published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.

According to the official plot, the story begins with an occultist attempting to capture the physical embodiment of death (Dennings) in an affair for eternal life.

But instead, he mistakenly traps Dream (McAvoy), the younger brother of Death (McAvoy), another of the seven divine siblings known as The Endless who oversee aspects of human existence including the desire and despair, fate, destruction and delirium.

After 70 years of imprisonment, Dream finally escapes, embarking on a quest to recover her lost power items and rebuild her kingdom, the world of sleep and imagination called The Dreaming.
