3 April 2024 – Welcome to the Dead Boy Detective agency.

Edwin and Charles are best friends, ghosts… and the best detectives on the Mortal plane. 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.

Dead Boy Detectives is based on the beloved comic series from Neil Gaiman, and a new addition to The Sandman Universe for Netflix.

👻 THE AFTERLIFE’S FINEST ARE HERE 👻

🕵️ WELCOME TO THE DEAD BOY DETECTIVE AGENCY 🕵️

Today, Netflix debuted the official main trailer for DEAD BOY DETECTIVES, premiering globally on Netflix on Thursday, April 25th.

The eclectic composition of characters, 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), provide the series with fun, whimsy, humor, and fantastical horror that all come together in perfectly imperfect harmony.

Try not to fall in love with our dead boy detectives and their crew in this trailer as they solve mystifying paranormal cases to the tune of a wonderfully nostalgic rendition of My Chemical Romance’s anthemic ode to the afterlife, “Welcome to the Black Parade.”
