'I'll sell my soul to Netflix...': Fans beg for S02
Currently boasting an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 93%, the eight-episode series has garnered widespread acclaim. Shortly after the release of Season 1, fans flooded X, urging for the renewal. One exclaimed, "I actually can't think of DBD not getting a season two, or the people from the psych ward will come get me again I'm so attached to the characters." Another echoed this sentiment, stating, "I will literally sell my soul to Netflix if it'll get them to renew."
Here's what happens in 'Dead Boy Detectives' S01
Dead Boy Detectives introduces viewers to Paine (George Rexstrew) and Rowland (Jayden Revri)—two young men who met their tragic ends at the same boarding school but in different eras. Choosing to stay on Earth, they investigate supernatural crimes instead of transitioning into the afterlife. They join forces with Crystal Palace (Kassius Nelson), a living clairvoyant who can communicate with Paine and Rowland, adding an intriguing dynamic to their ghostly investigations.
Plotlines: Possession, memory loss, and love triangles
Season 1's major plotlines involve Palace being possessed by a demon named David, resulting in partial memory loss. This incident prompts her to team up with Paine and Rowland to recover her lost memories in exchange for helping them solve their supernatural mysteries. Additionally, the series explores a complex love triangle as Paine develops feelings for Rowland, further complicated when Palace also starts harboring romantic feelings for Rowland.
