"Dead Boy Detectives" (Netflix) 2024
Sort of spun off from their short run on The Doom Patrol series on MAX, but now apparently a part of the "Sandman" Netflix Universe.

I wonder if they have a new origin story.
The events that led to their... predicament... hasn't happened in the Netflix Sandman series yet, and it appears this will air before season two of that series.

1st trailer
Edwin and Charles are best friends, ghosts… and the best detectives on the Mortal plane. They will do anything to stick together – including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. 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. Dead Boy Detectives is based on the beloved comic series from Neil Gaiman, and a new addition to The Sandman Universe for Netflix.
Premieres April 25th

I never finished S1 (although the episode at a pub across time has to be one of my top 10 episodes of tv), nor have I read the books. I saw the trailer said from the author, but does that mean they are Sandman canon?

In the comics the characters first appeared in a sort of fill-in issue/sidequest story in the "Season of Mists" story arc which will, presumably, be in Sandman season two. (It was set up in the tenth episode of season one with Lucifer's appearance and claim that he/she was going to do something to make God angry.)
