\"\"<\/a>HBO Max has ordered the Max Original DC drama DEAD BOY DETECTIVES to series. From Emmy\u00ae nominee Steve Yockey (“The Flight Attendant<\/em>“), “Doom Patrol’s” Jeremy Carver, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television, DEAD BOY DETECTIVES is an eight-episode horror detective series born from DC’s “The Sandman<\/em>” and “Dead Boy Detectives<\/em>” comics. It’s a fresh take on a ghost story that explores loss, grief, and death through the lens of Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland, two dead British teenagers, and their very alive friend, Crystal Palace. So, it’s a lot like a vintage detective series – only darker and on acid.<\/p>\n

Steve Yockey (“The Flight Attendant<\/em>,” “Supernatural<\/em>,” “Doom Patrol<\/em>“) wrote the pilot episode of DEAD BOY DETECTIVES and serves as showrunner. Yockey, Jeremy Carver (“Doom Patrol<\/em>,” “Supernatural<\/em>“), Greg Berlanti (“You<\/em>,” “The Flash<\/em>“), and Sarah Schechter (“The Flight Attendant<\/em>,” “You<\/em>“) are executive producers on the series. Lee Toland Krieger (“Superman & Lois<\/em>,” upcoming “Green Lantern<\/em>“) directed the pilot episode and also served as an executive producer on the pilot alongside David Madden (“Superman & Lois<\/em>“). Based on characters created for DC by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner, the series is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Yockey, Carver, Berlanti Productions, and Krieger are all under overall deals with WBTV.<\/p>
