The project is housed at Berlanti Productions with <em>The Flight Attendant<\/em> creator Steve Yockey writing the pilot script.<\/p>\n<p>If the project goes to series, the hour-long show will center on the adventures of the ghosts of two dead English school boys &#8211; one who died in 1916 and one who died in more modern times &#8211; who rather than move on to whatever after life awaits them decide to hang about on Earth solving supernatural mysteries.<\/p>\n<p>The characters were created by writer Neil Gaiman and artists Matt Wagner and Malcolm Jones III and debuted in 1991&#8217;s <em>The Sandman<\/em> #25 as part of the on-going &#8220;Seasons Of Mist&#8221; storyline. They later appeared in a handful of other comics put out under DC&#8217;s Vrtigo imprint including <em>The Children&#8217;s Crusade<\/em>, <em>Death: At Death&#8217;s Door<\/em> and <em>Vertigo Anthology<\/em> before getting their own, albeit short-lived, solo series in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>A television adaptation of <em>The Sandman<\/em> has been set up over at Netflix, with filming on season one having just wrapped last month.
