Love Kirby and am so excited for her! She's been a part of some great ensemble casts - Barry, Killing Eve - but I really want to see her in something where she gets more screen time.

The cast they've already announced, in case anyone was wondering:

THE SANDMAN - a new dark fantasy Netflix series based on the comic book series created for DC by Neil Gaiman. Starring: all of these great people... pic.twitter.com/h9CamoNjl2

Christie is going to be so fucking dead sexy in white suits.

Ok yes, I was going to ask if this is the one with Gwendoline Christie because I am so here for that casting.

really love all the cast and i’m so excited for a female constantine! jenna is always amazing

Oooh, this is exciting! Still very apprehensive about Dream, but hopefully the supporting cast makes it great.

Sandman is the only Neil Gaimen work that I have fully enjoyed, I have found a lot of his stuff overhyped. Still have to read Anansi Boys though, and I've heard that one is great.

I honestly don't know how they're going to write her, but I hope it's more than pixie dream girl with a goth outfit.
