“Dead Boy Detectives” Season 2 Cancelled by Netflix

They were able to work as investigators from beyond the grave for just one season, but after eight episodes of “Detective Boys” is now again Ending for the two unusual investigators. As confirmed by Variety, Netflix no second season more were commissioned. The number of hits was apparently not sufficient.

This is what “Detective Boys”

The teenagers Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) are behind the agency Dead Boy Detectives. They were born in different decades and only met in death. Edwin and Charles are not only best friends, but also ghosts who uncover secrets. They do everything they can to stand up for each other… if necessary, even fleeing from evil witches, hell and death itself. With the help of the clairvoyant Crystal (Kassius Nelson) and friend Niko (Yuyu Kitamura), they manage to solve some of the most mysterious supernatural cases in the mortal world.

Guests from “Sandman” and thwarted future plans

“Dead Boy Detectives” by producer Greg Berlanti based on the popular Comic series from Neil Gaiman is set in Netflix's “Sandman” universe and was adapted for television by Steve Yockey, who also acts as co-showrunner alongside Beth Schwartz. The season therefore featured two Cameos from “Sandman” characters, Because Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) and Despair (Donna Preston) stop by briefly.

In April, Schwartz told SFX Magazine that he was still full of confidence and plans for the future: “If we get season 2, we'll pick up right where the first season ended. We already have plans for season 3. We're ready because we have enough ideas and material.” After all, season 1 left us with a real cliffhanger when Niko was seen very much alive after her apparent death.
