• Netflix’s The Sandman has been given the boot, with the comic book adaptation set to end with its upcoming second season. The show garnered rave reviews, so many may be asking, “Why did they cancel Sandman?” While we can’t say for sure, it very well may have to do with the fact the comic book creator, Neil Gaiman, is facing growing sexual misconduct allegations, to which he has denied.
• FX’s The Old Man will end with season 2, cancelled due to a delayed production schedule.
