Dead Boy Detectives showrunners Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz have plans for not just a potential season 2 of the upcoming Netflix show, but a season 3 and beyond.
"If we get a season two, we have plans coming off the end of season one. We also have some ideas for season three. We’re ready. We’ve got the ideas. We’ve got the stuff. I don’t want to say too much, just because a lot of it comes off the finale", Schwartz tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Doctor Who on the cover.
Based on the DC Comics series of the same name by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, the new supernatural series follows best friends Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) who decide to ditch the afterlife and stay on Earth to solve crimes that involve the undead. The duo first appeared in The Sandman #25 back in 1991, providing an origin story where Charles and Edwin meet for the very first time.
Continues Schwartz: "Steve and I have talked about the very, very end of this series, but this is the kind of show that really could go on forever because the cases are so much fun and they get wilder and crazier as we go. Our characters, there’s no limit to where we can take them and where they can grow. So we’ll be on for as long as Netflix has us."
The cast includes Kassius Nelson as Crystal Palace, Briana Cuoco as Jenny the Butcher, Ruth Connell as the Night Nurse, Jenn Lyon as Esther, Lukas Gage as Thomas the Cat King, Max Jenkins as Kingham, and David Iacono as David the Demon. Kirby reprises her role as Death from Netflix's live-action adaptation of The Sandman – and sees her chasing down the duo as, well, no one is allowed to escape death.

A talented Dead Cells fan has created an incredible colored pencil drawing of The Beheaded. The player then shared this rendition of the Dead Cells cover art with the community, receiving praise for their impressive artistic skills.
From the beginning, the homoerotic undertones of Dead Boy Detectives are undeniable. Unlike some supernatural mystery shows of the past, though, it’s not just a tease.
Palworld has teased four new beasts of burden for players to corral into their open world survival crafting sweatshops. The new pals are still unnamed but they appear to be the following: karate frog, confused peacock, dopey fungus, levitating sleeve creep. Within the confines of the arms manufacturing Pokélike, such creatures make sense. You can see them struggling to eke out an existence as a close personal friend of the player in the trailer below.
PlayStation owners might be able to get 's latest suits for free at the moment. Unlocking suits has been a huge part of Insomniac Games' Marvel's Spider-Man series and offers a way for players to experience these games as their favorite Spider-Man from the character's six-decade-long history in media. Upon the game's launch, there were 39 available suits for Peter and another 39 for Miles, including the 10 suits from the Digital Deluxe Edition, but since then, Insomniac has added other outfits in patches, such as the Hellfire Gala suits that accompanied the game's New Game Plus update.
TikTok creators can’t seem to escape a maelstrom of policy and security concerns lately. On Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed a $95 billion national security package into law. Nestled inside it was the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which gives TikTok parent company ByteDance 270 days to sell the platform or cease operations in the United States. Policymakers maintain that the bill is not a “ban,” but a way to get the China-based ByteDance to divest from TikTok. The battle over TikTok could play out in the courts for far longer than the roughly nine-month window before the deadline, but the uncertain future of the app has kicked up a fervor among its many creators, who depend on it for community, connection, and their livelihoods.
The Dead Boy Detectives are a cult favorite that never quite found a cult. Introduced in the pages of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, the undeniable strength of the premise — a ghost boy from the 1910s is best friends with a ghost boy from the 1990s; they solve ghost mysteries! — regularly lures in comics creators, but rarely for longer than a single story arc every five to 10 years.
Veteran video game developer Shinji Mikami has opened up about his departure from Tango Gameworks in a new interview.
A new free event weapon mentioned in 4.7 may be perfect for one new character but will serve several other classic heroes in the game. The action RPG is currently in the early stages of Version 4.6, a highly anticipated patch that finally saw the release of Arlecchino in as a playable unit. The update also added a load of new content, including a new area in Fontaine, multiple quests, and more. While the patch is still being explored, some of the planned content for Version 4.7 has started to leak.
As a story about stories, it’s no wonder that Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman would have some characters that other creators would want to pick up and play with. Sandman spinoff comics have starred Dream’s sister Death, the strange denizens of the Dreaming, and even Lucifer himself, leading to the the cult success of an entire LuciferTV series years before a Netflix series adapting The Sandman itself.
Lords of the Fallen developer Hexworks has announced the release of update 1.5, its “final milestone” for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S soulslike, as publisher CI Games turns its attention to future games in the franchise.
As the weather (hopefully) turns nicer and the days get longer, it’s hard to think about being inside watching TV. Which is why it’s good that this week’s offerings are so easy to pop on at your leisure: Whether it’s the charms of Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives — based on a comic written by Neil Gaiman — or the hard-won pleasures of Shōgun’s final episode, or even the fighting spirit of We’re Here season 4 or Knuckles, there’s a lot to love this week.
