A character reportedly set to appear in HBO Max’s Doom Patrol spinoff series, Dead Boy Detectives, is a huge fan of the classic anime, Case Closed.
The plot of DC’s Doom Patrol spinoff series, Dead Boy Detectives, will reportedly involve a classic anime.
As reported by The Illuminerdi, HBO Max’s Dead Boy Detectives is looking to cast a Japanese actor, between 17 and 18 years old, to portray the character, Niko Sasaki. According to her character description, she is a smart, charming and sincere young woman who is not only obsessed with falling in love but is also a huge fan of the anime Case Closed.
Case Closed, also known as Detective Conan, is a long-running anime series that first premiered in 1996 and is currently in its 29th season. Like Dead Boy Detectives, the story follows teenage detective Shinichi Kudo, who was transformed into a child during one of his investigations.
The Dead Boy Detectives made their live-action debut on HBO’s Doom Patrol, with characters Edwin Paine, Charles Rowland and Crystal Palace portrayed by Ty Tennant, Sebastian Croft and Madalyn Horcher, respectively. However, along with the character Niko Sasaki, Dead Boy Detectives is reportedly looking to recast the three main characters for the spinoff series. While the original live-action actors won’t be returning for the spinoff series, Tennant and Croft reprised their roles for the third season of Doom Patrol.
The Dead Boy Detectives were co-created by Neil Gaiman with artists Malcolm Jones III and Matt Wagner as a spinoff for the comic book series, The Sandman, in 1991. In the comic, Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine are two deceased boys who decide not to enter the afterlife with Death, choosing to remain on Earth and form their own detective agency. HBO Max ordered the pilot for Dead Boy Detectives in September to be written and executive produced by Steve Yockey. Doom Patrol creator Jeremy Carver will also serve as an executive producer on the series.
Doom Patrol just concluded its 10-episode third season and it was recently officially confirmed that the series had been renewed for a fourth season to premiere exclusively on HBO Max. Doom Patrol stars Brendan Fraser as Robotman, Matt Bomer as Negative Man, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, April Bowlby as Elasti-Girl, Joivan Wade as Cyborg, Timothy Dalton as The Chief and Skye Roberts as Kay Challis. Season 3 also added a new main cast member in Michelle Gomez, who portrays Madame Rouge.
Dead Boy Detectives is still in the early stages of development at HBO Max. All three seasons of Doom Patrol are available to stream on the service.
