DC’s Dead Boy Detectives TV Show Recasts Ghostly Doom Patrol Pair on HBO Max

Dead Boy Detectives is one of the many creations of Neil Gaiman that have appeared on screen in recent years, and a new HBO Max series will give the DC Comics characters their first solo series after appearing in the third season of Doom Patrol. While the ghostly pair’s appearance in Doom Patrol saw Edward Paine and Charles Rowland played by Sabastian Croft and Ty Tennant respectively, alongside Madalyn Horcher in the role of Crystal Palace, their human medium, the new series has recast all three characters, even though their Doom Patrol appearance and departure seemed to set up the spin-off show.
