Netflix welcomes you to the “Dead Boy Detectives“ agency this morning with a brand new trailer introducing the series set within “The Sandman” universe.
“Dead Boy Detectives” will be premiering globally on Netflix on April 25, 2024.
George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri, Kassius Nelson, Jenn Lyon, Briana Cuoco, Yuyu Kitamura, Ruth Connell, Lukas Gage, and David Iacono star.
Watch the trailer below for at least one familiar face from “The Sandman” and paranormal fun, set to My Chemical Romance’s anthemic ode to the afterlife, “Welcome to the Black Parade.”
In the series, “Meet Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri), “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 (Kassius Nelson) and her friend Niko (Yuyu Kitamura), they are able to crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases.”
The eight-episode series is based on the beloved comics by Neil Gaiman and brought to life by Co-Showrunners Steve Yockey (“The Flight Attendant”, “Supernatural”) and Beth Schwartz (“Sweet Tooth,” “Arrow”). The first episode of the series is executive produced and directed by Lee Toland Krieger.
Greg Berlanti, Yockey, Schwartz, Jeremy Carver, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman and Gaiman serve as executive producers of the series from Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
