‘Dead Boy Detectives’ Casts David Iacono as David the Demon

David Iacono in 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.'/Prime Video
SHARE

HBO Max has recruited The Summer I Turned Pretty’s David Iacono to play the role of David the Demon. He will portray the powerful demon who torments the Dead Boys and Crystal Palace.

Iacono is recognized for his recent stint as Cam on The Summer I Turned Pretty, but before that, he was known as Eli Briscoe in The Flight Attendant. He has also had prior roles in Blue Bloods, The Good Doctor, and NCIS: New Orleans.

Dead Boy Detectives is based on the DC comics of the same name. The show was given an eight-episode season earlier this year after being initially ordered to pilot last September. Supernatural writing alum Steve Yockey wrote the pilot episode and serves as showrunner. Yockey, fellow Supernatural writer Jeremy Carver, the Arrowverse’s Greg Berlanti, and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Productions all serve as executive producers.

The official series description states:

“It’s a fresh take on a ghost story that explores loss, grief, and death through the lens of Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland, two dead British teenagers, and their very alive friend, Crystal Palace. So, it’s a lot like a vintage detective series — only darker and on acid.”

When the pilot was announced, Yockey said:

“I’ve been obsessed with this comic for a long time, so it’s a true passion project. And Jeremy [Carver], Berlanti Productions, DC, WBTV, HBO Max — they’re all encouraging me to run with every wild, bizarre, and unsettling choice. The result is going to be really dark fun.”

The Dead Boy Detectives characters were initially created by Neil Gaiman, Matt Wagner, and Malcolm Jones III, and versions of them have already appeared in the third season of HBO’s Doom Patrol. That time around, Edwin and Charles were played by Ty Tennant, the son of David Tennant, and Sebastian Croft of Heartstopper fame.

In the HBO Max series, Charles is played by Jayden Revri (The Lodge), newcomer George Rexstrew plays Edwin, and Crystal Palace will be brought to life by Kassius Nelson (Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events).

Iacono joins a host of other impressive cast members, including Briana Cuoco (The Flight Attendant, Harley Quinn) as Jenny, Jenn Lyon (Claws) as Esther, Yuyu Kitamura (Mother Tongue) as Niko, and Ruth Connell (Supernatural, For the Love of George), who will play Night Nurse, a demon that controls the flow of souls in the afterlife — a character that Connell has previously played in Doom Patrol.
