Sad news for fans ofDead Boy Detectives– the supernatural horror detective comedy-drama series won’t be moving forward with another season as Netflix decided to drop the axe on the promising franchise. The show premiered on the platform in April this year and received mostly positive reviews.
It was originally slated for a Max release, but seeing the characters did not fit the vision of James Gunn and Peter Safran for their DC-Max agreement, the series was sold to Netflix. It became a part ofThe Sandmanuniverse.
Netflix Officially AxedDead Boy DetectivesAfter Season 1
“Bet you’ll cancel it after a season”: ‘Dead Boy Detectives’ Opens to Insanely Good Reviews and All Fans Fear Netflix Will Doom it Just Like Shadow and Bone
Helmed by Steve Yockey for television,Dead Boy Detectivesfollows Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne, two ghosts who decided to stay on Earth to investigate crimes involving the supernatural instead of going to the afterlife.
It’s baffling why Netflix decided to pull the plug on a critically acclaimed project. OnRotten Tomatoes, it has an impressive 92% approval rating from the critics and a similarly striking 90% score from the audience, proving it has a compelling storyline delivered with careful execution. It also remained on Netflix’s Top 10 English TV charts for three consecutive weeks.
WhileNeil Gaiman’sThe Sandmancontinues to move forward with Season 2, its unfortunate spinoff did not receive enough mercy from Netflix. The streaming service has been criticized for canceling shows either due to cost-cutting or when they do not meet the expectations of its shareholders.

This bears a heavy repercussion as fans grow annoyed with Netflix’s practice. More and more viewers are no longer choosing to check out new shows for fear of investing too much time only for them to get killed off after one season. It’s going to be a nightmare for the streaming platform if thousands of disappointed viewers resolve to cut their subscriptions for good.
Fans Expressed Outrage OverDead Boy DetectivesCancelation
Fans ofDead Boy Detectivesreacted to the announcement of the series’ cancelation with so much ire and dismay. Many pledged not to invest in new shows anymore while the others revealed they have already canceled their Netflix subscription. Read the tweets below:
Mark my words Netflix, you will NEVER get me to watch an original ever again. Glad I canceled you. We’re over forever.
This is why I’m won’t start new show anymore, Im tired to being either disappointed by a cancellation or having wait years
I avoided even putting this in my list on Netflix for this exact reason. If Netflix wants us to watch their shows, they need to show us that they can KEEP their shows going long enough for us to want to watch them.
Fr I think it’s time to cancel my subscription. No point anymore when everything just gets canceled.
@netflixthere is literally no point in watching anything new anymore when you cancel everything. Your dangerously close to a death spiral, where less people watch things, then you cancel more things, then even less people watch new things.@CancelNetflix
Most of the time, canceled shows on Netflix are gone for good. It’s only a rare chance that they renew a shelved project, and if this happens, it will be shopped around to a different channel or platform.
Dead Boy DetectivesSeason 1 is currently streaming on Netflix.
