A new series set in The Sandman universe on Netflix has been released. Dead Boy Detectives, based on the DC comic book series, is a Warner Bros. series originally slated for Max but later moved to Netflix. All eight episodes are now streaming and fans of Neil Gaiman's work won't want to miss out on this quirky, fun show.

The musical score featured in Dead Boy Detectives was composed by Blake Neely and Murat Selçuk. A three-time Emmy Award-winning composer, Neely has worked on over 30 television series, 20 films, and several ballet commissions. He previously won an Emmy for composing the main title for The Flight Attendant. Neely has written music for several Warner Bros. shows like Batwoman, Riverdale, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, All American, Supergirl, and more.

Neely co-composed the soundtrack for the show with Selçuk, who is a music producer and composer. He is also a classical clarinetist. He and Neely have worked together many times in the past on several of the projects listed above like All American, Batwoman, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
