Development
The concept for the series originated out of a recurring sketch from the HBO series Funny or Die Presents. Those sketches eventually made their way to YouTube and the FunnyOrDie website where they received more notability. Rob Huebel and Owen Burke, who created those original sketches, later decided to expand upon them with a full series. Huebel has commented that the show was loosely inspired by his fascination with 1980s projects like Stand by Me where kids could go off into the wilderness in search of an adventure, in addition to moments from Huebel's own childhood when he and childhood friends would "find Penthouse magazines in these weird forts of teenagers."
It was announced on June 22, 2017 that YouTube had ordered a first season of Do You Want To See a Dead Body? to consist of eight episodes. It was set to star Rob Huebel, who was also set to executive produce the series alongside Owen Burke, Nick Jasenovec, and Jonathan Stern. Guest stars set to appear in the first season were reported to include Adam Scott, Judy Greer, Terry Crews, Craig Robinson and John Cho, among others. Production companies producing the series include Abominable Pictures and Funny or Die.
