David Farnor | On 31, Jul 2022
Netflix is stepping up its fantasy game this month with the debut of The Sandman, based on Neil Gaiman’s graphic novels. It’s joined by a wave of genre fare, including real-time actioner Carter, horror anthology School Tales, the concluding chapter of the dark series Locke & Key, a slice of vampire thrills starring Jamie Foxx, and a dose of Tekken and He-Man animation. On a lighter note, there’s the final instalment of Never Have I Ever, timey-wimey romance in Look Both Ways, a new Selling Sunset spin-off and 13: The Musical.
