Renewed Or Cancelled?
Have you ever heard of ghost detectives? No, not the ones that hunt other ghosts but those who are ghost and detectives? No? Well, make way for Netflix’s new supernatural black-comedy mystery-suspense show based on Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner’s comic books sporting the same name. So, after watching this show, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Dead Boy Detectives about?
Dead Boy Detectives, literally, follows two dead boys, Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine, who make quite an odd decision at the end of their lives: to pass-over afterlife for solving supernatural crimes on Earth. To be fair though, nobody would want to live in hell.
Apart from cheating death that might have serious repercussions as a result, they run a paranormal detective agency which is quite niche. They solves cases that cannot be solved by anyone, dead or alive. And with the help of a clairvoyant, they are on a roll, except when a powerful witch enters the game. Can the Dead Boy Detectives and their associates tackle the many complications that come with running away from hell and involving themselves with horrifying beings?
Has Dead Boy Detectives been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Dead Boy Detectives Season 2 has been cancelled according to Variety.
Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made.
Dead Boy Detectives has had a pretty good reaction from critics and audiences alike, with some really enjoying the drama and its connections to The Sandman.
Given the way this show is set up, we had even predicted that this will be renewed for a second season. Unfortunately that was not the case.
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point as Netflix has cancelled this one. Should it be renewed miraculously, we’d imagine that there will be 8 more episodes, each clocking in at around 55 minutes or so. We could also see more connection to The Sandman as well.
We’ll be sure to update this page if there are any changes on this front.
