Dead Boy Detectives, a Netflix original series based on Neil Gaiman’s intriguing and surreal world of DC comics, has been weaving its narrative of intrigue and the supernatural as it rises from the shadows.
The story focuses on Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) and Edwin Paine (George Rexstrew), two spectral sleuths who, instead of going to the hereafter, go on a journey to unravel the secrets of the earthly realm.
Dead Boy Detectives | Official Teaser
In the first ‘Dead Boy Detectives’ trailer, teen ghosts solve crimes and fight demons. Photos featuring the three lead characters — George Rexstrew’s Edwin Payne, Jayden Revri’s Charles Rowland, and Kassius Nelson’s Crystal Palace — serve as our first glimpse beyond the veil and into the afterlife.
The opening shot introduces Edwin and Charles, the two ghosts at the center of the drama. Though they had never met, the two teens became friends after Death, forming their everlasting detective agency.
In the next shot, they are seated at a desk, ready to undertake their next task. Crystal, a very much living clairvoyant who can be seen standing alongside the ghostly duo as they seek to crack a new case, is helping the dead team on their adventures.
Along with solving the most complex mysteries of life and Death, the initial official teaser for Dead Boy Detectives shows fans the opposite side of their quest – fighting witches and demons and trying to outwit Death.
Edwin, the operation’s brain, is always calculating the group’s next move, while Charles, the brawn, is always ready to crush some heads. The trailer reveals some weird cases they will investigate throughout the series, such as strange hauntings and a werewolf.
Meanwhile, when the boys escape Death, there’s a hint of a link to The Sandman. Could we see Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) or Dream (Tom Sturridge)? Finally, Dead Boy Detectives appears ready to extend The Sandman universe enjoyably.
