Exclu: “The Sandman,” the Neil Gaiman-penned comic book series considered a seminal work in the medium, is in the early stages of being developed into a TV series.

Warner Bros. TV is in the midst of acquiring television rights from sister company DC Entertainment and is in talks with several writer-producers about adapting the 1990s series. At the top of the list is Eric Kripke, creator of the CW’s horror-tinged “Supernatural.”

“Sandman” told the tale of Morpheus, the Lord of the Dreaming, a deity who personifies dreams. The book began in the horror realm but quickly made its mark in fantasy and mythology as Gaiman introduced the Endless, a group of powerful brothers and sisters that includes Destiny, Death, Destruction, Despair, Desire and Delirium (as well as Dream).

TNT is renewing its other freshman drama of the summer.

Sources say the network is bringing back "Memphis Beat" for a second season.

The word comes following last month's pick up of TNT's new ratings smash "Rizzoli & Isles."

"Beat" stars Jason Lee as Tennessee detective and is produced by Warner Horizon. The drama has been a solid performer, averaging 4.5 million viewers and a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating through 10 episodes.

Barack Obama's address on Iraq pushed the broadcast lineup during an otherwise sleepy Tuesday evening in the ratings. Read More »

HBO has picked up sophomore comedy series "Hung" for a third season.

The network has ordered another 10 episodes to air next year.

The pickup wasn't entirely expected. The show isn't a critical hit. In the ratings, "Hung" has performed modestly, roughly matching "Entourage," and has dipped slightly from its first-season average.

With "Entourage" airing a short six-episode final season next summer, however, letting "Hung" hang around another year gives HBO a familiar face to pair with a new comedy.
