"You are best mate – I wouldn't want to be dead with anyone else." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for Dead Boy Detectives, a new series streaming later in April. Not long of a wait a all! It's based on the beloved comic series from Neil Gaiman, and a new addition to "The Sandman Universe" for Netflix. 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 complicates their plans. Edwin and 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. Sounds fun! George Rexstrew stars as Edwin and Jayden Revri as Charles, with a cast including Kassius Nelson, Yuyu Kitamura, Jenn Lyon, Briana Cuoco, Lukas Gage, David Iacono, and Ruth Connell. This looks like something that would play after "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on a rival channel hoping to get those same viewers. Enjoy.
