What a long, strange trip it's been for Steve Yockey's (The Flight Attendant) & Beth Schwartz's ("Arrowverse") adaptation of Neil Gaiman & Matt Wagner's Dead Boy Detectives. But now that it's found a home as part of Netflix's "The Sandman Universe" (we like the sound of that), we're getting our first serious look as part of the streamer's global fan event. For those new to the scene, the eight-episode series focuses on two teenagers (George Rexstrew & Jayden Revri) who find each other in death, and they will do anything to stick together – even if that means outrunning evil witches, Hell… and yes, even Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal (Kassius Nelson), they must work together to crack some of our realm's most mystifying paranormal cases – before, you know, things get really ugly. But don't just take our word for it – check out the first-look images released today. And did someone mention something about a teaser?

Teenagers born decades apart who find each other only in death, Edwin and Charles are best friends and ghosts… who solve mysteries.
