In recent months, various accusations have emerged against the renowned author Neil Gaimancreator of works such as Sandman y American Gods. According to the information gathered so far, the British actor faces several accusations of sexual assault towards five women, although the author has categorically denied these claims. This scandal, as expected, has generated great controversy in the industry, and many companies have already reacted to this situation.
According to information from the American media Deadline, Disney has decided to indefinitely pause the film adaptation of the young adult novel The Graveyard Book after learning of the accusations made by these five victims against the British writer.
However, this has not been the only adaptation that has suffered a setback; a few days ago, Netflix cancelled the production of The Dead Detectivesa Sandman spin-off series that will ultimately not have a second season following these serious accusations against its author.
It is not known whether the main series will continue after two seasons or if they will decide to pause it for this same reason, but everything points to Netflix opting to distance itself as much as possible from the author and deciding to put the project aside until the actions that justice deems appropriate are carried out to clarify this controversy.
