With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal and her friend Niko, they are able to crack some of the mortal realm's most mystifying paranormal cases," an official synopsis reads.
Kassius Nelson and Yuyu Kitamura play Crystal and Niko, respectively.
Dead Boy Detectives is executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Jeremy Carver and Sarah Schechter, with Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz as showrunners.
Yockey and Schwartz recently told UPI that Gaiman contributed "to two episodes in particular."
Dead Boy Detectives premieres April 25.
Netflix's Sandman series, co-created by Gaiman, resumed production on its second season in November 2023.
