The show is set in a version of London where spirits are free to roam the streets and teenagers battle the ghosts at night. The plot sounds exciting and the fans of the horror-thriller genre are really anticipating its release. Here’s everything you need to know about Lockwood & Co.
When Will Lockwood & Co Release on Netflix?
The book has been adapted into a web series. It was filmed in and around London for eight months, starting on July 5, 2021, and finishing on March 15, 2022.
Lockwood & Co will hit the streaming giant worldwide on January 27, 2023. The first season has a total of eight episodes. Each episode has an approximate runtime of 60 minutes.
What is Lockwood & Co About?
Lockwood & Co follows three young ghost hunters in London during a haunting epidemic. Two bright lads and a girl with “exceptional psychic powers” make up the trio. Lucy Carlyle, a teenage psychic, teams up with two bright boys, Anthony Lockwood and George Karim, to form a small startup Lockwood & Co.
Therefore, the no-adults-allowed corporation is responsible for keeping London’s streets safe, combating terrible undead spirits night after night. Together the deserter trio are free of financial motive, and adult supervision but destined to change the course of history forever as they unravel a grand mystery.
Who is the cast?
Bridgerton actress Ruby Stokes plays one of the leads, Lucy Carlyle. Making his television debut in Lockwood & Co is Cameron Chapman is making his TV debut as Anthony Lockwood. Ali Hadji-Heshmati (Alex Rider) completes the detective trio as George Karim.
Here’s the list of actors joining this magical star cast:

Is this story different from the book?
Lockwood & Co is based on Jonathan Stroud’s children’s book series. The award-winning book series consists of five instalments, beginning with The Screaming Staircase in 2013 and concluding with The Empty Grave in 2017.
The series will start with the adaptation of the first novel of the series, The Screaming Staircase. However, it is unclear if multiple books will be covered in one season. We expect each season would cover the events of each book, which would mean a total of five seasons.
There are some inevitable changes here and there. Some parts have been compacted, while others have been teased out a little. However, the main plot, the mechanics of the world, and, most importantly, the characters are all tenaciously adapted to the screen.
Is there any trailer?
Yes, there is. Netflix released the official trailer on Jan 12, 2023, on its official YouTube channel. Watch it right here:
