Author Neil Gaiman showed his support and defended the choices regarding the adaptation.
The cast teased the extra episode on social media ahead of its release.
Gaiman tweeted: “It would be nice if there were more than just the ten episodes of Sandman in Season 1.”
Non-binary actor Mason Alexander Park, who played Desire in the first season, added: “I agree, would be super duper cool.”
