“These two boys are cheating death.” Netflix has unveiled one final 30-second teaser trailer for Dead Boy Detectives, which begins streaming today on Netflix worldwide. This new supernatural series is based on the beloved comic series from Neil Gaiman, and a new addition to “The Sandman Universe” for Netflix. It looks cool! Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives. Two teen ghosts work alongside a clairvoyant to solve mysteries for their supernatural clientele — until a powerful witch messes it up. Edwin & Charles are best friends, ghosts, and the best detectives on the Mortal plane. They will do anything to stick together – including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal and her friend Niko, they are able to crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases. Should be entertaining! George Rexstrew stars as Edwin and Jayden Revri as Charles, with a fun cast including Kassius Nelson, Yuyu Kitamura, Jenn Lyon, Briana Cuoco, Lukas Gage, David Iacono, and Ruth Connell. There’s some rad shots in here, including a giant tentacle monster and this big mouth woman. It might actually be good?
