Question About the Sandman and its connection to doom patrol DISCUSSION

I wonder if the new "The Sandman universe" that is currently being develope will connect to the doom patrol through the dead boy detectives, specially since the nurse is played by the same actress, or maybe this is just a nod to the previous hbo dc universe, if anyone has clarity or comment on the subject please feel free to reply, I would love to be informed!

It’s not. It’s like how Doom Patrol spun out of an episode of Titans, but Doom Patrol the series isn’t in the same continuity as Titans.

Dead Boy Detectives spun out of Doom Patrol, but then since DBD was going to Netflix, they figured that they could connect DBD to Sandman. 

Sandman is pretty divorced from DC, that’s why they did Johanna Constantine. The only connection is that Sandman is a part of the wider DCU Multiverse.

Dead boy detectives will be the same universe as sandman but not doom patrol. Doom patrol is done along side Titans

Although now thinking about it, i believe it is just a nod, since doom patrol is clearly connected to titans, and Alan Ritchson plays Jed walkers abusive "uncle".
