Is there a The Sandman bonus episode that Netflix is hiding from us

Will Dream Meet With Calliope in &#8216;The Sandman&#8217; Bonus Episode? Who Exactly Is This Lover of Morpheus?

A show of hands; who here watched all the 10 episodes of the Netflix adaptation
of The Sandman? And who watched it all in a day instead of pacing yourself and
now has a Sandman-shaped hole in your life? Apparently, we might just get some
more of the beloved Neil Gaiman story sooner rather than later. Evidence shows
that there is a secret, The Sandman bonus episode that Netflix hid from us. No,
we are not just teasing you, but perhaps the streaming giant is.

Mere hours ago, Netflix uploaded some never-seen-before footage from the
live-action rendition of The Sandman. Supposedly by accident. The video has
since been made private. But not before many avid fans caught hold of it and saw
EVERYTHING. The leaked footage was from the third volume of The Sandman
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman] comics titled Dream Country. A
Twitter user @swirlingthings [https://twitter.com/swirlingthings] also managed
to screen grab a few images from the clip.

We have a glimpse of Tom Sturridge as Dream and the Greek-Canadian actress
Melissanthi Mahut. Fans speculate Mahut will embody the role of Calliope, one of
Morpheus’s former lovers. With the story of Nada
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-who-is-nada-in-the-sandman-and-why-was-she-banished-to-hell/]
still shrouded in mystery, we now have another enigma to demystify in the form
of Calliope.

WHO IS CALLIOPE FROM THE SANDMAN BONUS EPISODE?

The Sandman volume Dream Country comprises four individual stories with issues
#17 through #20. The first story is that of Calliope. Calliope is one of the
nine muses from Greek mythology. Inspiration personified, the Greek muse was the
former prisoner of a successful novelist Erasmus Fry. Richard Madoc, a
frustrated author suffering from a major creative block, strikes a bargain with
Fry and gets his hands on the beautiful stimulus, Calliope.

This trope of keeping a muse (almost always a woman) captive was later overused
in many story ideas. Finding herself as a prisoner again, Calliope summons the
Fates, a holy trinity of witches that leads her to Morpheus. Dream of the
Endless
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-beings-in-some-ways-more-powerful-than-gods-neil-gaiman-unravels-the-lore-for-the-sandman-and-who-are-the-seven-endless/],
Calliope’s former lover was also a prisoner at that time. Following his release,
Dream rescues Calliope and cursed Madoc with infinite ideas that ultimately
drive him insane. Dream and Calliope even have a son named Orpheus later in the
series.



The fact of the matter is, there is a bonus episode for The Sandman (possibly
more) in the Netflix bank and we must see it. Why was it not released with the
rest? Also, was the leak truly a mistake or a ploy to cause a frenzy among fans?
Only time and Netflix will tell. In the meantime, all we can do is re-watch
[https://www.netflix.com/in/title/81150303] season one and hope that the
streaming giant grants our wishes soon.
