DEAD BOY DETECTIVES

Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives. Meet Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland, ‘the brains’ and ‘the brawn’ behind the Dead Boy Detectives agency. Teenagers born decades apart who find each other only in death, Edwin and Charles are best friends and ghosts… who solve mysteries. They will do anything to stick together — including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal and her friend Niko, they are able to crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases.

Based on the DC characters created by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, The Dead Boy Detectives is written and executive produced by Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant). The titular characters first appeared in Gaiman’s The Sandman comics in 1991.

The live-action adaptation starts streaming on April 25, 2024 and is a new addition to The Sandman Universe for Netflix.

‘Dead Boy Detectives’ Showrunner Steve Yockey Breaks Down the Series’ Move From Max to Netflix

Before “Dead Boy Detectives” made the move from Max to Netflix, an explicit “Sandman” connection was out of the question, despite the fact that the comics on which the show is based are a direct spin-off of that Neil Gaiman series and take place in the same universe. But, when the switch happened very late in the game, showrunner Steve Yockey was able to open up the world of his new show.

‘Dead Boy Detectives’ Canceled After One Season at Netflix

“Dead Boy Detectives” has been canceled at Netflix. The series aired its one and only season at the streamer on April 25.

Thus ends the show’s twisty path to the screen. It originally got a pilot order at Max in 2021 and then a series order at that streamer in 2022 before it was sold to Netflix in 2023. It was reported at the time that the sale took place because the show, which is based on characters created for DC by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, did not fit with the new direction for Max-DC content being spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran.

At Netflix, it was a part of the “Sandman” universe, as the Dead Boy Detectives were first introduced in an issue of “The Sandman” comic book. Netflix currently airs “The Sandman” TV series, with a second season on the way.
