A couple of things to note here. First, the animation in “Night of a Thousand Cats” is just stunningly gorgeous. Second, this “special event” managed to nab a great many celebrities to take part in it in addition to Tom Sturridge in the series’ titular role. You’ll likely recognize Doctor Who’s Arthur Darvill and Derek Jacobi in the live-action Calliope,” but the voice cast for “Cats” includes Good Omens’ Michael Sheen and David Tennant (who was also Who, yes), The Sandman audio series’ James McAvoy, Killing Eve’s Sandra Oh, and creator Neil Gaiman as “Crow/Skull Bird.” It’s wild.
What’s also wild is how Netflix just added a new, single episode to a series that debuted a full two weeks ago, on August 5. I don’t recall the streaming service doing anything like that before, but if the show has been continuing to work on more Sandman beyond the initial 10 episodes, then I think it’s safe to assume that they’re working on a second season as well.
