Netflix’s The Sandman is one of those shows that promises to become more intense and intriguing with every new season. With Season 2 of the eccentric science-fiction drama on the horizon, excitement is building around which new character will contribute to the otherworldliness of Neil Gaiman’s rich universe. Among the most fascinating confirmed additions is Delirium, the youngest of the powerful Endless siblings. Her arrival is bound to shift everything in ways that not many can foresee.

Curious, chaotic, and morbidly unpredictable, Delirium is set to elevate The Sandman’s stakes like never before.

Delirium, also known as Mania to the ancient Romans, as mentioned earlier, is the youngest of the supernaturally gifted Endless clan. Her lore, however, is more complicated than her dual names, as before tracing a legacy as either of the two, she was known as Delight. Once an epitome of pleasure and joy, watching her transformation into an unsettling figure will be a compelling experience altogether.

Esme Creed-Miles brings the legend of two-eyed Delirium to life. The 25-year-old English actress was announced to be cast by Netflix in May 2024, alongside Adrian Lester's casting as Destiny, the oldest member of the Endless family. Barry Sloane’s selection as Destruction was also unveiled in the same notice. Creed-Miles’s turn as Delirium, however, remains the most anticipated among fans, as the character is the one who promises to balance both madness and depth.

Delirium will make her entrance in two phases, aligning with Netflix’s strategy of unfolding its most popular intellectual properties over time.

Netflix confirmed the release of The Sandman Season 2 in two parts earlier this month. The season will draw the curtain close on the popular comic book adaptation by imagining all the remaining elements this time around. The Sandman Season 2 consists of 12 episodes, with the first six scheduled to drop on July 3. The next volume, comprising five episodes, will arrive on July 2. This season will also include a bonus chapter.

While the prolonged release schedule of The Sandman Season 2 will effectively take away the pleasure of binge-watching from fans, Netflix seems intent on delivering sweet torment wrapped in carefully crafted chapters that blur the line between dream and reality.
