The Dead Girls Detective Agency is the Snap Original series we’ve all become obsessed with – what’s not to love about a dead teenage girl trying to find her murderer from the afterlife, huh?
The Snapchat series returns for its third season on Sunday 11 August, and if you’ve yet to tune in, now’s your chance to catch up with who’s who from the series.
The show, based on the young adult novels by Suzy Cox, first premiered October 2018, but this along with other Snap Originals has proved to be a massive hit, racking up over 14million viewers during the first season.

The Dead Girls Detective Agency follows main character Charlotte (Gia Mantegna), who is murdered when someone pushes her in front of a subway train, teaming up with three other murdered teenage girls in order to solve the mystery of her death.
Here is everything you need to know about the main stars:
Gia Mantegna
Gia plays lead character Charlotte Feldman, and the 29-year-old actor has also starred in 13 Going On 30 and played Devin Levin in the TV series The Middle. She was born in Manhattan, New York but was raised in Los Angeles and her dad, Joe Mantegna is also an actor in Criminal Minds.
Her real name is actually Gina, and she’s a big cat lover judging by her Instagram, and she lives with a black cat called Priscilla.
N’aww.
Vanessa Marano
Vanessa, 26, plays Nancy Graves in The Dead Girls Detective Agency, but she’s already got an impressive list of acting credits to her name.
Since getting into acting at the age of seven, she’s starred in Gilmore Girls, Six Feet Under, Malcolm In The Middle and Grey’s Anatomy to name just a few.
She’s half-Italian on her dad’s side and was also selected as one of the youngest members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Aparna Brielle
Playing Lorna Reddy in The Dead Girls Detective Agency, 25-year-old Aparna probably feels right at home as she actually started her career in supernatural drama Grimm.
Her real name is Aparna Parthasarathy and she has a degree in marketing, which only took her three years to complete instead of the usual four – so it’s not just acting this lady excels at.
Al Calderon
Al, 24, plays Edison Cruz in the series, but fans of the show might not realise he also auditioned for X Factor USA back in 2013.
While he may have only made the top 10 of the singers on the show (which is impressive enough as it is), his acting talents have landed him roles in shows like Law & Order: SVU and Person Of Interest.
