Another one bites the dust as Netflix has canceled the supernatural series "Lockwood and Co." after just one season. This cancelation may come as a bit of a surprise, given that the show, which is adapted from Jonathan Stroud's popular series of books, was critically well-liked and seemingly found its audience. Be that as it may, we will not be getting more episodes.
According to Variety, Netflix opted not to renew the series, which debuted in early 2023. It featured a cast led by Ruby Stokes ("Bridgerton"), as well as relative newcomers like Cameron Chapman and Ali Hadji-Heshmati. Taking to Instagram, Stroud addressed the cancelation with an air of gratitude, saying the following:
"I'd like to thank everybody who worked so hard to create something so special. It has been a joy working with Joe, Rachael, Nira, Brad and all my other friends at Complete Fiction. They made a show...

The supernatural series has drawn in viewers of all ages, but young fans have found a lot to love in the show, which features a talented cast of performers.

Props play a huge part in ensuring a movie or TV show set comes to life, and as such, productions tend to allocate huge budgets for them. However, accidents do occur sometimes, and props get destroyed. While there are usually backup props for any damage caused, the destroyed prop can affect a shoot. One key Lockwood & Co. prop was ruined after an actor accidentally spilled milk on it.
‘Lockwood & Co.’ is now streaming on Netflix
Lockwood & Co. is a new Netflix series set in an alternate reality where ghosts are real, and touch is deadly to the living. The rise of these ghosts has led to the creation of an industry responsible for ending them.
The story begins with a flashback of a 13-year-old Lucy sitting in an office with her mother, who has just learned that her daughter has a particular gift for “listening” to apparitions.

Ruby Stokes, star of buzzy new Netflix show Lockwood & Co., has plenty of experience working with the streamer, as the actor previously starred in Bridgerton. Stokes recently shared how her role in the period drama prepared her for her latest show.

Stokes began her acting career at just 10 years old, scoring small roles in TV shows and movies like Una, Rocks, Just William, and Da Vinci’s Demons. Her big break came in 2020, with her role as Francesca Bridgerton in Netflix’s hit show Bridgerton.
Her part has been fairly small so far; Bridgerton focuses on one sibling out of the eight members of the Bridgerton family as they attempt to find love. Stokes has been seen briefly in Season 1 and 2 of the period...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Season 1 of “Lockwood & Co.,” now streaming on Netflix.
Ruby Stokes ain’t afraid of no ghosts — even in a world overrun by them.
On Netflix’s “Lockwood & Co.,” Stokes wields a rapier sword as Lucy Carlyle, who hunts down spirits in an alternative London where young adults have psychic abilities, and use them professionally to subdue ghosts.
Based on the books by Jonathan Stroud, and developed by Joe Cornish (“Attack the Block”), “Lockwood & Co.” has been a breakout for Netflix since its Jan. 27 premiere –– scaring away competitors from the streamer’s Top 10 list (which it’s reached in 74 countries).
Stokes herself is no stranger to a Netflix phenomenon, having played Francesca Bridgerton in the first two seasons of the Shondaland sensation “Bridgerton.” But to accommodate filming “Lockwood & Co.,” she appeared only a few times in Season 2, and eventually stepped away from the role,...

A YouTuber, a prison guard and “the strongest man in Korea” walk into an arena. The set up for a joke? No. This is Physical: 100, a South-Korean reality show and Netflix’s latest hit, in which 100 of “the fittest people in Korea” compete in tests of ultimate strength. The cast consists of Olympic athletes and bodybuilders, mountain rescue workers and soldiers; all linked by their wealth of self-belief and lack of body fat. Unlike in deadly drama Squid Game, nobody actually dies in Physical: 100, but you wouldn’t know it from how seriously everyone takes these games.
When it dropped on Netflix on 24 January, Physical: 100 gained a cult following in South Korea, and has steadily risen up the global charts in the weeks since, securing the No 1 spot in the UK on Friday. As they watched, fans marvelled at the contestants’ intensity and grit, calling the show...

Netflix viewers have called on others to help the streamer’s “underrated” Lockwood & Co land a second season.
Despite minimal press and promotional content, the eight-episode detective fiction has managed to secure the No 2 spot on Netflix UK’s Top 10 watchlist, having arrived on the platform on 27 January.
Based on British author Jonathan Stout’s supernatural book series of the same name, the show follows Lucy (Ruby Stokes), a girl with psychic abilities. Lucy joins the ghost-hunting agency Lockwood & Co, which is run by teenagers Anthony (Cameron Chapman) and George (Ali Hadji-Heshmati).
Together, without adult supervision, the trio battle deadly spirits tormenting London.
Starring a largely unknown cast, the show lacks the same mega-watt star power that other Netflix success stories, such as You and That ’90s Show, have benefitted from.
As a result, fans have taken it upon themselves to encourage other social media users to tune in.

Kenya Barris and Jonah Hill’s romantic comedy You People debuted at the top of the Netflix English-language film list for the week of January 23 to January 29.
The film, in which Hill also stars alongside Eddie Murphy, racked up 55.65M hours viewed in its first week on the streamer. That put it leaps and bounds above the No. 2 spot, which went to the Lily Collins-led thriller Inheritance with 11.6M hours viewed.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is still sitting in the No. 3 spot, putting up another 9.7M hours viewed. Also on the list were Puss in Boots, Devotion, Dog Gone, Pale Blue Eye, Sing, Matilda the Musical and Trolls.
While it didn’t make it onto the Top 10 in the U.S., Netflix also says that All Quiet on the Western Front received a bit of an Oscars buzz boost, with viewership increasing 190 over the previous week. The film,...

Joe Cornish’s teen ghosthunter drama Lockwood and Co. launches on Netflix globally today. The show, the streamer’s latest young-adult scripted series from the UK, stars Ruby Stokes (Bridgerton) and newcomers Cameron Chapman and Ali Hadji-Heshmati as a teen trio who run an independent ghost fighting agency in London while competing with adult-run corporate rivals.
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 have been attacking people since the 1960s, and only teenagers have the ability to see and repeal them. Netflix ordered it as one of seven British originals announced in December 2020. Several of these have been canned but anticipation around Lockwood has grown and reviews this week have been sparkling.

“We have these brilliant books to draw on,” said Cornish in an interview with Deadline this week.
