The sequence, impressed by DC Comics characters created by Neil Gaiman, Matt Wagner, and Malcolm Jones III, starred George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri as Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland, respectively. These two youngsters, born in numerous eras, meet within the afterlife and kind a bond as they resolve mysteries collectively. As the guts and soul of the Lifeless Boy Detectives company, Edwin and Charles would do something to remain united, even when it meant escaping from evil witches, Hell, and Demise herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal (performed by Kassius Nelson) and her buddy Niko (Yuyu Kitamura), they tackled among the most puzzling paranormal circumstances within the mortal world.
