Get ready for the Dead Boy Detectives! Netflix has pegged an April 25 release date for the Sandman spinoff and released a new trailer that reveals more about the series. Charles Rowland and Edward Paine are dead boys who are also detectives. They perished decades apart, but after they met up as ghosts, thought “hey, we should be friends and possibly solve mysteries.” But how do you solve murders when you’re dead yourself? They find a conduit in Crystal Palace, a medium with a neat name who has the ability to see the boys and help them chase down crimes of the supernatural variety. If you can’t tell, Dead Boy Detectives is a wackier show than The Sandman. One-liners, pratfalls, quick edits and artsy camera angles abound. Not that it won’t get spooky from time to time, but you can think of this as The Lone Gunmen to Sandman’s X-Files. Hopefully it lasts a bit longer than that show did. The boys are played by George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri,

When there’s something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call? Not the Ghostbusters….the Ghosts. It might sound counterintuitive, but the Dead Boy Detectives have the experience to solve any supernatural mystery. After all, they’ve been there. If you’re a watcher of Doom Patrol (and if you are, congratulations, you’re a cool person), you may remember the Dead Boy Detectives showing up in a recent episode. Describing any Doom Patrol episode is fun, so here goes: in the episode “Dead Patrol,” every member of the team except for Larry had been fried to death by a laser ray and shipped to him in wooden crates. While Larry tried to figure out what to do, Rita woke prematurely in the netherworld and tried to alert the others before they passed the point of no return. Meanwhile, the aforementioned DBD made a visit to the mansion to channel the Patrol’s spirits back into their bodies. It wasn’t a perfect job, because in the next episode they became zombies.
