Netflix's newest series Lockwood & Co drops today and is inspired by Jonathan Stroud's novels, however there is one change the TV show has from the book.

Lockwood & Co is based on a series of books of the same name by Jonathan Stroud. So how exactly are they going to tackle not including a massive fight scene in the series? [Bridgerton's Ruby Stokes](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a39570600/bridgerton-season-2-where-is-francesca-bridgerton/), and two boys - Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman) the owner of the agency and their friend George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati).

The eight-part series, from Cornish's Complete Fiction banner, is based on Jonathan Stroud's books about an alternate modern world in which murderous ghosts ...

“What evolved naturally in the TV and the radio shows is we go away, make toy movies, write songs, do silly skits and then come together and do completely improvisational chat and present gifts to each other. Tongue firmly in cheek, he said BBC’s slow paced ob doc series Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing had inspired him to think up Baaad Dads, a notional series in which he and Buxton would escape their families and shoot the breeze on a park bench. The show is Netflix’s first with Complete Fiction — the company Cornish co-founded with Spaced and Sean of the Dead producer Parks, Prior and Last Night in Soho director Edgar Wright. It’s not a reboot or a franchise; It’s an original piece of earnest, scary and funny storytelling with three lovely characters at the center of it.” “We want to drop the audience into the story and let them fend for themselves. “John and I have a really detailed outline and are doing the research to figure out the reality that we then merge with sci-fi fantasy. His focus was on building a picture of a world based on four elements Stroud created for the books: Ghosts kill by touching people, young people can sense them before adults, agencies were set up by adults to employ young people to deal with ghosts, and salt and metal in different forms can repels the apparitions. We go out in the real world with brilliant researchers and find people whose lives intersect with those characters to get the detail and realism. “I have resisted using that term as ‘show’ sounds like a West End musical and ‘runner’ sounds like sports, and those are not fields I want to work in,” he quipped. “The first Attack the Block was made in complete secrecy so we had time to make it as good as it needed to be. “It took a very long time between Attack the Block and my second movie so I’m trying to be a bit more focused on keeping other projects in development while I make stuff,” he said. “We have these brilliant books to draw on,” said Cornish in an interview with Deadline this week.

Netflix has a knack for cancelling shows in their prime, but will Lockwood & Co. avoid the curse, and get a Season 2?

Will there be a Lockwood & Co. And when asked what plans they had for a potential future season, this is what he had to say: “We’d continue with the books. This not only gives more incentive for there to be a second season, but there’s more plenty more plot to come. A second season will be down to whether or not Netflix wishes to renew the series. Netflix has a knack for canceling shows in their prime, but will there be a second season? Based on the books by Johnathan Stroud and made by the same people who did 2011’s Attack the Block, this new series draws back to the supernatural YA craze of early 2010s TV.

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to Lockwood and Co. director Joe Cornish about adapting the novels into the new Netflix series.

I got to work with Edgar for years and years and years. I got to write the first and last episodes, but I work with other writers on the other ones. But a lot of the design is Edgar’s, the casting is Edgar’s … So they glowed at different intensities with different speeds and pulses, and he would puppet this thing and the actors could react to the puppet on a stick. I wish Edgar had got to make his movie, but I got to work at Marvel for years and years and years. I love the series and the action. The rules are so simple, but the idea of ghosts being lethal to the touch changes the whole dynamic of a supernatural story. We were convinced she could hold an object and feel the energy that that object was imbued with. So we wanted to make the first episode like that, where before you knew it, you were just part of the story and you picked up the rules through the drama unfolding rather than through any laborious exposition. Like with The Legend of Zelda or one of the Mario games, like a really good Nintendo game that was really intuitive and organic. How important was it to start the show with a bang to get people hooked into this world and all the problems that are going on really early? So really, we wanted to make an opening episode that dropped you right in the middle of an investigation and where you learned as you went along.

Ruby Stokes and Cameron Chapman star in this adaptation of Jonathan Stroud's book series.

It’s been going on for a half-century, resulting in not only the deaths of people touched by the ghosts, but of thousands of young people who have gone to battle with them. Most Pilot-y Line: “Each member of the agency can only take one biscuit at a time in strict rotation,” Anthony tells Lucy during her interview. But there were moments in the first episode that made us think that the romantic angle will be touched on a little bit. [Attack The Block](https://decider.com/movie/attack-the-block/)) based on [Jonathan Stroud’s popular series of books](https://www.amazon.com/Lockwood-books-collection-Jonathan-Stroud/dp/9123683538?tag=decider08-20&asc_refurl=https://decider.com/2023/01/27/lockwood-and-co-netflix-review/&asc_source=web), Lockwood & Co. She has a particular talent for “listening” to apparitions, and her mother basically peddles Lucy to the agency in order to earn money for the family. That mystery will be grinding away in the background as Lucy, Anthony and George do their thing. The Gist: The teens are Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes) and Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Champion), and they’re at this house to rid it of a ghost. Cut back to the job about a year later. The murky, dark visuals of Lockwood & Co. She does well in her training, but hates the town and man who runs the agency; she plans an escape to London with her best friend, signing a pledge under the picture of a prominent female ghost hunter, “This Will Be Us.” But on a particularly risky mission, the owner of the agency more or less left his team to get killed by a particularly strong ghost. Opening Shot: An array of street lights flicker on as a car parks at the side of a large home. But she finds an ad for Lockwood & Co., run by Anthony Lockwood and George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati).

Joe Cornish brings the ghost-hunting story to Netflix and it's funny, thrilling and not for wimps.

The only agency interested in taking her on is Lockwood and Co, a new ghostbusting business that has only two employees. The humongous and cunning cliffhanger will have you counting down the days to season 2. The Problem sparked a stock market crash and halted technology. Lockwood & Co has some of the very finest TV shows and movies running through its DNA, but it never falls into the trap of imitation or repetition. The series is set in a Britain where ‘The Problem’ has placed teenagers in charge of saving the world. However, it also throws in a load of ghosts, horrible adults, conspiracies, romance and the whole things is set in an alternate universe where the digital revolution never happened.

The supernatural teen drama saw Lucy Carlyle lose her best friend in a tragic way.

Viewers are keen to know whether she ever wakes up in the series. I think it’s great.” I love it. At the end of the series, Lucy made a cassette tape to play to Norrie telling her about her achievements. Lucy was the only survivor of the incident and she never came to terms with the huge loss. When Lucy gave evidence, she was forced to admit she had detected nothing concrete, so the incident was declared to be a classic case of Death By Misadventure.

He wants an agency to quickly and quietly deal with a haunting at one of his properties called Combe Carey Hall. The trio convince him to choose Lockwood & Co.

He was the one who was in a relationship with Annabel and he was the one who killed her. She takes the degree and the iron glasses down to the secure storage area. He brings out the photograph of Annabel with a group of other people and points out the man in the back. Lockwood picks up the ring and Lucy puts it back in the locket. In the books, Lockwood’s words, gestures and actions always convey the feeling of barely contained energy. Lucy tells them the source is the bodies of the monks at the bottom of the well. They follow the passage ahead of them and see the ghost of a person that they guess is Sam Pandey. Lucy wakes up amongst the debris and wakes up George and Lockwood. But Lucy interrupts him as she can hear the sound of voices and realises that the staircase they’re on is the screaming staircase. Sometime later, George tells Lockwood and Lucy that there’s a lot about the hall that Fairfax didn’t tell them. Lucy says they won’t be at home at the time due to fumigation. There are mentions about a screaming staircase and, years ago, Marissa Fittes and her group of agents had failed to clear the hall too.

In Lockwood & Co. episode 3, Lockwood, Lucy and George take on a dangerous job in Berkshire. Will they make it out in one piece? Here's how their job went.

Lockwood rewards Lucy with her Fourth Grade diploma and sends her to put it away in the safe room, but when she does, she accidentally opens the valve to the skull jar that is down there. It turns out that this whole affair is being covered up by DEPRAC and that they want Lockwood & Co. He shows them the picture of Annabel and Hugo Blake and says they were wrong about him, pointing to another man in the photograph he identifies as Fairfax himself. Ellie tries to run away but falls in the hands of DEPRAC who just arrived on the scene. At the mansion, Fairfax gives them a brief tour and points them to the Red Room, where the Source of all this haunting is most likely located. They explain everything about how Fairfax killed Annabel and set them up to be killed to cover up their discovery, but Barnes doesn’t know if he can trust them. The trio tries to leave Combe Carey Hall but are stopped by Ellie and Fairfax, who admits everything. They go down a sort of crypt which turns out to be where the evil monks all died, and are attacked by terrifying entities. The question on everyone’s mind as the third episode of Lockwood & Co. Back at the agency, George researches Combe Carey Hall and finds it’s an even more perilous place than they anticipated, filled with a dark past of satanic monks and other evil. Another letter from DEPRAC has arrived and now not only do they owe a fine of £60,000, but they are now forbidden to work without adult supervision. Well, at least it’s the question on George’s mind as he examines the object and finds a hallmark on it.

may solve the case, and might make a big deal out of doing so in the press, Fairfax lured them to the house in the hope that the ghosts would kill them. But he needs to clear out a country house he intends to sell, and for that, he needs the kids, since the place is a former satanic priory, is infested with vengeful spirits, and he can’t allow the use of flares or explosives to fend them off since he can’t risk property damage. “Doubt Thou the Stars” really turns the horror up here, I thought, while also sidelining the overarching mystery a bit in favor of a more procedural, case-of-the-week vibe, but it eventually turns out everything is connected anyway. He has, we’re told, been wildly profitable in every industry he has ever become involved with, and Fairfax Iron is simply the latest in a long list of ventures. are trying to solve the murder of a dead Hollywood starlet named Annabel Ward, presumably committed by her wealthy and influential co-star Hugo Blake, while also being sixty grand in the hole after accidentally burning down the house of a client and being obsessively observed by a government agency named DEPRAC who want any excuse to shut them down.

Ruby Stokes from Netflix's Lockwood & Co opens up about everything from playing Lucy Carlyle and her time at the Brit School, to leaving Bridgerton behind.

"[Leaving] was a decision that no one took lightly, but it was incredibly supportive on both sides," Stokes says. [Francesca's absence was noticeable](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a39570600/bridgerton-season-2-where-is-francesca-bridgerton/), with news of filming schedule clashes between Lockwood & Co and the regency drama emerging. [As for season three of the hit Netflix show?](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a39461023/bridgerton-season-3-release-date-cast-trailer/) Stokes will "100%" be watching, though she didn't pass any words of wisdom on to Dodd. As well as dipping her toe into period dramas and the supernatural, Stokes is also working on a Paramount+ series called The Burning Girls, opposite Samantha Morton. "I'm excited to work with many different writers, directors, producers, actors. In it, she plays Flo, the teenage daughter of a single mother who quickly discover their new town has dark secrets festering below the surface. She will bring so much to the role." [The BRIT school] challenge you to expand your ideas; the teachers were supportive and encouraging." "She manages to balance this ghost world with going through that universal experience of being a teenager, while speaking her mind and being unapologetically herself. [Netflix](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/netflix-tv-shows-films-documentaries/) always deliver the goods. "Bridgerton was incredible. Fronting the eight-part story, alongside newcomer Cameron Chapman and Alex Rider's Ali Hadji-Heshmati, is Ruby Stokes, a softly spoken 22-year-old from Hackney, London.

Lockwood & Co ending explained on Netflix — What's next for our young Ghostbusters and how does episode 8 set up season 2?

Lucy suggests that they destroy it, but Anthony wants to keep the jar because "it's incredibly rare." Just as long as the bone glass is out of his hands and away from the public, that's all that matters. Instead, the mirror is actually a trap that needs to be destroyed. As more henchmen start to arrive, Anthony heads off to save his friends and slip in a cheeky call to DEPRAC on the way for backup. "I’m the oddball," he cries, tied up and defeated. "The way to look is with someone else's eyes. George is too swept up in the mirror's — and Pamela's — influence to notice though. Quill's mates from his rival agency suddenly appear, and just in time too, because Winkman and his thugs also rock up to take the mirror back for themselves. This skirmish buys Lucy and Lockwood enough time to arrive, kicking in the door "like we're cool and really know what we're doing." The room is empty, and so is Bickerstaff's coffin. Meanwhile, Lucy hits a problem of her own when the type three ghoul trapped in that jar warns her that George will soon die. George is now on his way to drop it off at DEPRAC so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands...

A cemetery is obviously a fitting location for a series about ghosts and the undead. The area is famous for extravagant tombs and catacombs. Where is Netflix’s Lockwood and Co filmed? He brings a quintessential British sensibility to the show, whilst highlighting the best the city and the country has to offer. But the resounding takeaway is that this Netflix Original series stands high above the rest, in an extremely crowded market. Since then, the creative has written and directed a handful of projects (including [Ant-Man](https://readysteadycut.com/2017/04/05/ant-man-film-review/)), but it is fair to say that he’s been rather quiet of late.
