Dead Boy Detectives finally has a premiere date. Based on Neil Gaiman’s comics, the new series will arrive in April, and viewers will return to the world first seen in Netflix’s The Sandman. HBO Max first ordered the series, but it was moved to Netflix.

The supernatural drama from Greg Berlanti follows a team of four — two ghosts and two humans — as they solve paranormal mysteries. George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri, Kassius Nelson, Yuyu Kitamura, Jenn Lyon, Briana Cuoco, Lukas Gage, David Iacono, and Ruth Connell star in the series. Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz serve as co-showrunners.

Netflix revealed the following about the plot of 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.

Dead Boy Detectives arrives on April 25th. Check out a teaser and more photos for the upcoming series below.
