Dead Boy Detectives, based on the comic series of the same name, is the latest fan-favorite fantasy series to have been canceled at Netflix.
Per Variety, the show, which takes place in Netflix's Sandman universe, will not return for a second season. Based on the DC Comics series of the same name by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, the series follows best friends Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) who decide to forgo the afterlife in favor of staying on Earth to solve crimes that involve the strange, unusual, and the undead. Steve Yockey, developer of the Kaley Cuoco-led HBO Max black comedy The Flight Attendant, served as showrunner and head writer.
