Dead Boy Detectives Director Confirms Episode Filming Prep Underway

HBO Max's Dead Boy Detectives director Pete Chatmon confirmed that prep work on the episode he's directing is officially underway.

Okay, if we're being honest? As much as we're excited to check out co-showrunners Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant) & Beth Schwartz's ("Arrowverse") upcoming series adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner's Dead Boy Detectives, that's how much we wished we getting to learn a little more about what's going on with production. We're not talking spoilers or anything like that, but maybe step up on the social media game a bit more. And that brings us to director Pete Chatmon (You, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), who was confirmed to be directing this season, along with Lee Toland Krieger, Glen Winter, Cheryl Dunye, Andi Armaganian, Amanda Tapping, and Richard Speight. No stranger to sharing updates on the projects he's working on, Chatmon shared a look from outside his production office to confirm that the first day of prep for filming was underway.

Here's a look at Chatmon's Instagram post from earlier today (and if you zoom in real close, you might just get a look at the production logo for the streaming series):

And here's a look back at Yockey's tweet from earlier this month confirming the line-up of directors for the season:

What We Know About HBO Max's Dead Boy Detectives

HBO Max's Dead Boy Detectives offers a fresh take on the ghost story with an exploration of loss, grief, and death through the lens of Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) & Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) – two dead British teenagers and their very alive friend, Crystal Palace (Kassius Nelson). So, it's a lot like a vintage detective series… only darker (and possibly on acid). Michael Beach's Tragic Mick is a melancholy walrus trapped in a human body who helps the Dead Boys out sometimes. Joshua Colley's Monty is an affable, astrology-loving teen who can see ghosts… and falls pretty hard for Edwin Payne. Lindsey Gort's Maxine is a quirky librarian in Port Townsend with a big, messy secret. Additionally, the series cast includes Briana Cuoco as Jenny the Butcher, Ruth Connell as the Night Nurse, Yuyu Kitamura as Niko, Jenn Lyon as Esther, Lukas Gage as Cat King, Caitlin Reilly as Litty, Max Jenkins as Kingham, and David Iacono as David the Demon.

Yockey wrote the pilot episode and will serve as co-showrunner Schwartz. Yockey, Schwartz, Jeremy Carver, Greg Berlanti (You, The Flash), and Sarah Schechter (The Flight Attendant, You) are executive producers on the series. Lee Toland Krieger (Superman & Lois, upcoming Green Lantern) directed the pilot episode and also served as an executive producer on the pilot alongside David Madden (Superman & Lois). Based on characters created for DC by Gaiman and Wagner, the series is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
