Netflix's 'The Sandman' Universe Officially Launches with the Trailer for 'Dead Boy Detectives'
It's official: Netflix's The Sandman universe lives and moody Gen-Xers and English majors everywhere have never been happier. (I'm mostly referring to myself here but I very much doubt I'm alone in this. Just saying)
The streamer has released the trailer for Dead Boy Detectives, the eight-part supernatural mystery series reacquired from Max, now with its original Sandman connective tissue reattached. And the onscreen world of Neil Gaiman's genre-hopping masterpiece has never felt so expansive.
The spin-off follows the story of Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland, a pair of ghosts born decades apart but who have found one another and become best friends in death. Choosing to forgo the afterlife in the name of further adventures together, they launch the Dead Boy Detective Agency, where they investigate all sorts of supernatural crimes (and occasionally do some good along the way).
