DEAD BOY DETECTIVES (HBO Max) - George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri and Kassius Nelson have booked the title roles in the proposed DC Comics adaptation, which "would follow the Dead Boy Detectives - Charles Rowland (Revri) and Edwin Paine (Rexstrew) - who decided not to enter the afterlife in order to stay on earth and investigate crimes involving the supernatural. They are joined by Crystal Palace (Nelson), a living psychic medium." Also cast in the pilot are Alexander Calvert as Thomas The Cat King; Briana Cuoco as Jenny, "a mildly punk butcher and a confidant of Crystal Palace"; Jenn Lyon as Esther, "a witch obsessed with youth and immortality"; Yuyu Kitamura as Niko, "a boarding school student intent on joining the Dead Boy Detectives agency who now lives above Jenny's butcher shop"; and Ruth Connell as Night Nurse, "a demon that controls the flow of souls in the afterlife."

Buchanan's Rose Larkin is "a young tech CEO who has fallen on hard times and has retreated to her aunt and uncle's house to reassess her life.
