Dead Boy Detectives has been in production for a while, and it just switched from HBO Max to Netflix with the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs of DC Studios.
Given its duration and the fact that updates are sporadic at best, some fans are concerned that the series may not happen. However, Netflix has prevented Dead Boy Detectives from turning into one of HBO Max’s doom projects, and the show is set to premiere on Netflix soon.

The Plot of Dead Boy Detectives!
Dead Boy Detectives revolves around the teen crime-fighting duo Charles Rowland & Edwin Paine, who, as the title indicates, are both dead.
While the story’s finer details are being kept under wraps, it has been stated that both of them decide to decline the chance in the afterlife and stay on Earth to investigate supernatural crimes.
It seems Dead Boy Detectives will keep up with the source material as it looks at the friendship between Payne and Rowland.
According to the series’ source material for Charles and Edwin’s origins, Edwin was killed at his boarding school in the early 1900s. Edwin, along with other students and staff who died at the school, was imprisoned in hell for decades before being released to haunt the boarding school.
This is when Edwin crosses paths with Charles, a student who eventually meets the same fate even with Edwin’s aid.
Being ghosts, both of them decide to stay in the world of the living and continue their journey together. It’s essential to remember that this material comes from The Sandman comic book, and significant story details are often changed or tailored for the small screen.
