Death and Dream walking down a city street talking in The Sandman Season 1

Netflix gives fans one extra scene from The Sandman Universe, and fans can watch it for themselves on social media.

While the release of Netflix's streaming adaptation of Death: The High Cost of Living on Jul. 31, the ongoing The Sandman series has come to an end. Fortunately for fans of the series' main story, this very special episode also comes with a post-credits sequence that ties back into the life of Jacob Anderson's Daniel Hall, now better known as Dream. The scene in question features Nina Wadia, Dinita Gohil, and Souad Faress' Kindly Ones seated around their table before cracking open a fortune cookie that holds piece of "bad poetry" that effectively ensures a bright future for the new Dream.

Adapted from Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg's fan-favorite comic book series of the same name, Netflix's The Sandman premiered in 2022 to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The series stars Tom Sturridge as Morpheus, aka Dream, one of the seven Endless, immortal entities who are the living embodiments of universal aspects of the human experience. The Sandman also features an ensemble cast including Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death herself.

Season 2 of The Sandman was released in blocks of six, five, and finally one episode, the last of which adapted the beloved comic book Death: The High Cost of Living. Like the original comic, the special episode of The Sandman follows Death as she spends one day of the entire century as a mortal in order to better understand those who will inevitably feel her cold embrace. While the second season of The Sandman hasn't received the same glowing reviews as the first, Death: The High Cost of Living has been hailed as one, of if not the greatest, episodes of the entire series by multiple early critical reviews.

How Netflix's The Sandman Left Off - And Kept Its Big Twist a Secret

Prior to the release of Death: The High Cost of Living, Netflix's The Sandman series saw Sturridge's Morpheus make way for a new Dream to step into his place in the form of Jacob Anderson's Daniel Hall. Showrunner Allan Heinberg previously opened up about keeping the big reveal from leaking to the internet or press, noting that much of that had to do with the specific days and hours that The Sandman was filming those key scenes. "So much of it was on the sound stages," Heinberg explained. "That beautiful lobby where everybody's entering to go to the funeral is a real location -- and the sculpture garden where he is talking to Destruction -- but we were there on a Sunday when everything is shut down. So I think we just got lucky."

The Sandman is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
