The Netflix drama has cast the roles of Delirium, Destiny and the Prodigal, TVLine has learned. Together with Dream (aka Sandman, played by Tom Sturridge), Death (Kirby), Desire (Mason Alexander Park) and Despair (Donna Preston) — all of whom were introduced in Season 1 — the new additions complete the Endless family introduced in a DC Comics series written by Neil Gaiman.
Esme Creed-Miles ( Hanna ) will play Delirium. Adrian Lester ( Primary Colors , BBC One’s Hustle ) will play Destiny, and Barry Sloane ( Revenge , Six ) will play The Prodigal.
The fantasy series premiered in August 2022 and was renewed in November of that year . Though Netflix originally stopped short of calling the forthcoming episodes “Season 2,” saying only that there would be “more episodes and stories to be adapted from multiple graphic novels,” the streamer now refers to the new cast members as Season 2 additions.
