Dead Boy Detectives fans suspect cryptic post teases season 2 fate

As a lifelong gamer and binge-watcher, I’ve seen my fair share of shows that were either too good to last or tragically cut short. The anticipation for a second season of Dead Boy Detectives has been like waiting for that elusive rare Pokémon in the wild – it’s frustrating, but you keep on hoping!

Currently, as of August 23rd, exactly 120 days have passed since the debut of “Dead Boy Detectives” on Netflix, which took place on April 25th. Since then, a dedicated fanbase has emerged online, expressing their enthusiasm for the series and collectively wishing for a second season to be greenlit.

For the past 120 days, Netflix hasn’t given any hint about whether the show will continue or not. I can only hope that this news remains uncertain like spoiled milk. On the other hand, a recent Instagram post by the series actor George Rexstrew has sparked speculation among fans about an upcoming renewal announcement.

On August 23rd, Rexstrew shared a video clip from the series accompanied by the caption, “As long as the earth revolves…” Immediately, devoted viewers identified the quote as originating from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Sack of the Gods,” which is recited by Death in the first episode of Dead Boy Detectives. As soon as the post circulated online, fans were eager to discuss what this might imply.

In a heartwarming display of camaraderie and fan enthusiasm, the actors from the hit show “Dead Boy Detectives,” Jayden Revri (Charles) and Yuyu Kitamura (Niko Sasaki), have been engaging in friendly banter on social media. Revri commented under a post saying, “Best person I know,” while Kitamura replied with a nod to the series, “Just a mirror away.” It’s delightful to witness this cast’s ongoing interaction and the passion that fans continue to show for their work.

Given the context implied by the poem’s quote, we can infer that the show is set to return, as suggested by the poem’s complete phrase.

They will come back — come back again, as long as the red Earth rolls. / He never wasted a leaf or a tree. Do you think He would squander souls?

Are they coming back? It’s a question!

Dead Boy Detectives hasn’t been renewed or canceled yet

It’s concerning that as we approach September, Netflix hasn’t shared any news about the future of their April show. While it’s not unusual for them to announce a renewal later, even for popular series like Outer Banks whose season 3 wasn’t confirmed until late 2021, their recent pattern has been less delayed, except for The Gentlemen.

Instead of directly sharing the clip from “Dead Boy Detectives” and a line from the poem as a surprise for devoted show lovers, spectators might reasonably infer that this move hints at potential updates about the series’ future. On one hand, enthusiasts may hope for positive developments; on the other, the post’s cast comments could suggest a subtle cancellation, keeping things under wraps.

There’s a strong possibility that this emotionally-charged post is hinting at a goodbye, although it might not be definitive. Throughout the years, we’ve observed similar posts about underappreciated series when their continuation is uncertain. As someone who cherishes TV and has a soft spot for underrated shows, I’ve delved into comments and discussions, and everyone interprets these situations differently. The truth won’t be clear until an official announcement is made. At the moment, Netflix seems to be in control of the situation.

Dear fans everywhere, I encourage you to keep your hopes balanced. Avoid placing too much anticipation solely on one post from a cast member. Such a vague update doesn’t necessarily mean that Dead Boy Detectives has been officially renewed for season 2, nor does it guarantee that the show has been canceled. Cross your fingers that things turn out as you hope!
