While the viewers are pleasantly surprised with the bonus episode of The Sandman, Neil Gaiman admits of almost spoiling it.

“We got away with it”: Neil Gaiman Reveals He Spoiled &#8216;The Sandman&#8217; Episode #11 18 Months Before the Release

The Sandman is Netflix’s most talked about series right now. The series is
simply a masterpiece by the author and creator, Neil Gaiman. The original comic
book was published by DC Publications years ago. After a lot of patience, Gaiman
finally brought his work of comic characters to the big screen. The show
received major positive reviews from critics and viewers. However, the most
beautiful surprise the fans received from the creators was the bonus episode
#11. Just when the fans thought it was the end of their dreaming, Netflix
suddenly dropped the bonus episode, making the fans go crazy happy.



The eleventh episode, A Dream of a Thousand Cats/Calliope, is a two-part
episode. The first part is an animated story that represents the history of cats

and how their dream would change their story. Meanwhile, the second part of the
episode talks about the story of Calliope, who is the most vital part of
understanding Morpheus’ whole story. Calliope is the daughter of Zeus and the
ex-wife of Morpheus. A writer holds Calliope captive against her will for years.
He then gives the muse to his fellow writer, Richard Madoc. He promises to
release the muse after she fulfills her duty to inspire him. Does he release
her? What happens to Calliope? Well, to know that watch the episode of The
Sandman. [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman/] We don’t want to spoil it
the way Neil almost did.


NEIL GAIMAN GOT AWAY WITH THIS MISTAKE WITH THE #11 EPISODE

It was truly a surprise to see the bonus episode released soon after the show’s
streaming. The team at Netflix kept the surprise extremely tight. However, Neil
almost revealed

the secret. Recently, in an interview

Gaiman admits the mistake that he made before the release of the bonus episode.

Neil tweeted about the bonus episode
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-will-there-be-another-bonus-the-sandman-episode-12-neil-gaiman-reveals-the-truth/] and
got close to blowing the surprise twice. The first time he tweeted the cover of
the book Here Comes the Candle, which is a part of the comic and the episode as
well. And the second time, he tweeted about the news of casting some cats 18
months before. Fortunately, people seemed to forget about it.

got away with it,” admitted Gaiman. No matter what happened, the viewers loved
the bonus episode and the whole series. While fans are waiting and praying for
the second season
