Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner’s DC comic book characters the Dead Boy Detectives, a pair of supernatural investigators who appeared in The Sandman series, get their own spinoff live-action series, which debuts on Netflix on April 25. The show is led by George Rexstrew, who plays Edwin Payne, and Jayden Revri as Charles Rowland. The cast includes Kassius Nelson, Briana Cuoco and Ruth Connell. Dead Boy Detectives was originally set to launch on Max but moved to Netflix in February 2023. Gaiman’s The Sandman already lives on Netflix, and the celebrated author confirmed that both that show and Dead Boy Detectives will share the same universe.

Looks like it's worth a look. Kind of reminds me of Lockwood and Co.

Huh. I guess this means Sandman season 2 has been confirmed? Maybe I just don't remember...

Still, a bit odd that the spinoff would premiere before those characters are introduced in the main show. Or maybe not, I can see how they'd make it work.

It’s Netflix. Who knows if it’s cancelled or not. The best thing to do if it’s a show you liked is to assume it’s over and then be happily surprised if it’s even getting half a new season

Season 2 is currently filming (was paused due to the strikes). We do have some episode titles so this should tell you which comics are being adapted

Spoiler
  • The Song of Orpheus
  • More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold
  • Brief Lives
  • Family Blood
  • The Ruler of Hell
  • Season of Mists

Wonder if this is their formal-wear wardrobe. I was expecting Delirium's costume to be less goth and more colorful. Yeah, it's probably their formal-wear since Destruction/The Prodigal is usually depicted as wearing a tank top or unbuttoned shirt and jeans (i.e. he withdrew/retired) and not armor.

Given the new Gaiman allegations wonder how much more life is left in this property 

It probably has a better chance than if it were on D+.

Are they just allegations, or anything with substantial evidence?

 I really didn’t care enough to research the situation, but if there’s nothing substantial then it will probably blow over. Although, if there’s even a hint that something might be concrete, then things might get chopped.

Sad to say, I wasn't aware of these allegations. Guess that's the reason why we didn't see him in the Behind The Scenes clip?

Bit of column A, bit of column B.

Column A: Sexual assault allegations should always be taken seriously. The two allegations are by ladies who don't seem to have anything much to gain from airing this dirty laundry.

Column B: The allegations surfaced in an incredibly suspect source (and literally nowhere else) - a podcast helmed and produced by transphobic individuals who have personally targeted and been criticized by Gaiman for his trans support. Gaiman, for his part, says he has been fully cooperative with relevant investigators.

The whole thing has the stink of ulterior motives to it, so I'm remaining highly skeptical of every single perspective on it. Would it surprise me if he were a weird sex creep? No. Would it surprise me if the accusers were lying? No. And everything in between.

Regardless, I'm happy to see this still coming out. Hopefully it gets to a third season.
