The series is based on comics that also tie into Neil Gaiman's masterpiece.
Netflix has released the first trailer for Dead Boy Detectives, a new series from Warner Bros. Television that was originally being developed for Max, but ultimately has landed at Netflix and is being framed as part of the Sandman universe." That tracks with the characters' comic book backstory, but fans didn't know whether, or to what extent, that would be acknowledged in-story or in the marketing for the show.
That's an idea that has been iterated on successfully on TV before, with shows like Pushing Daisies and iZombie riffing on it, and even CBS's Ghosts tackling elements of it, although obviously not in quite as serious a way. The series also brings in Supernatural veteran Ruth O'Connell, proving that she'll never be more than a degree of separation or two away from John Constantine.
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.
As part of The Sandman Universe for Netflix and based on the beloved comic series from Neil Gaiman, DEAD BOY DETECTIVES was developed for television by Steve Yockey, who serves as co-showrunner alongside Beth Schwartz and is brought to you by Greg Berlanti. Jeremy Carver and Sarah Schechter also serve as executive producers. The series also stars Jenn Lyon, Briana Cuoco, Lukas Gage, David Iacono and Ruth Connell.
