April 6th, 2024 by Marc Comments

Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives, writer our friend Phil at Live for Film.

In this new supernatural series set in The Sandman universe, two teenagers, Charles and Edwin (played by George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri), find each other in death… and 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), they must work together to crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases.

The series is based on characters created by Neil Gaiman and artists Matt Wagner and Malcolm Jones III in The Sandman issue 25.

The characters have already appeared on the small screen when they popped up in the Doom Patrol series. However, they were portrayed by different actors.

This new show stars George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri, Kassius Nelson, Briana Cuoco, Ruth Connell, Yuyu Kitamura, Jenn Lyon, Lukas Gage, and Michael Beach.

Dead Boy Detectives is hitting Netflix on 25th April.

GEEKED WEEK 2022: WATCH: Trailer for The Sandman series finally arrives along with official release date

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
