Netflix has just offered fans a massive update into the filming schedule for The Sandman amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.
For those unversed, the SAG-AFTRA strike has been started after a unanimous decision to open current contracts up for negotiations.
However, before the vote passed, The Sandman was often seen filming in various locations all across the UK, some scenes also featured The Sandman’s siblings.
News of the halt has also been confirmed on July 13th, by Niel Gaiman who said, “SAG-AFTRA strike is on. Sandman has stopped shooting completely, along with everything else that was squeaking by without writers. I hope that the AMPTP sees reason and gets back to the table with the actors and the writers. I have no reason at this point to think they will see reason.”
