LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Netflix is preparing to stream its action series 'Dead Boy Detectives' on April 25, 2024, which has the intriguing concept of investigating supernatural crimes.

The eight-episode series, which draws inspiration from Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner's novel 'Dead Boy Detectives characters,' explores the adventures of Edwin Paine (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri), two men who, after passing away, choose to remain on Earth and investigate crimes involving the paranormal.

According to Latlog.net, the gripping series is filmed in Langley and Vancouver, British Colombia and takes viewers on an exhilarating journey into the world of the undead.

Reportedly, major sections of the series were shot in Vancouver.

Vancouver, the biggest city in British Columbia, is renowned for its breathtakingly beautiful surroundings. Stanley Park, a 1,000-acre peninsula park with beaches, woodlands, and breathtaking vistas, is one of the city's picturesque spots, skillfully blending nature into its urban fabric.

The city also has a thriving downtown area with skyscrapers, top-notch dining options, and a varied cultural environment. Interestingly, the city is also referred to as 'Hollywood of the North.'
