Warner Brothers Television has announced The Sandman: The Complete First Season is getting a digital download release on September 18th with 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD options on November 28, 2023.

So what’s The Sandman: The Complete First Season about?
Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: The Complete First Season is a rich, character-driven blend of myth and dark fantasy woven together over the course of ten epic chapters following Dream’s many adventures (plus a bonus episode featuring two fan-favorite stories). When the Sandman, a.k.a. Dream (Tom Sturridge) — the powerful cosmic being who controls all our dreams — is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for over a century, he must journey across different worlds and timelines to fix the chaos his absence has caused.
The special features are quite light, but given streaming services seem happy to pluck shows off their programming forever–see Willow–many will likey rush to get the superior quality 4K and Blu-ray options.
