Lockwood and Co

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.

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.

Stroud's third book in the series, The Hollow Boy, teases that he reveals some of his family secrets. But for the most part, the Visitors are hostile. A second season would likely reveal the truth. The first season of Lockwood & Co. By the time the show starts, that event has taken place decades before, and it's not clear exactly how or why it started. So we will follow the path that he has already forged.

Lucy is underwater facing a beautiful young woman with red hair as Lockwood and Co episode 2 begins. She seems to give Lucy some flowers.

One stand-out moment has to be the scene where Lucy channels Annabel’s memories and plays them out in front of Lockwood and George. Lockwood fights the intruder while Lucy finds George in the basement and unties him. When Lucy and Lockwood come home they find the door bolted from the inside. Barnes gives Lucy a train ticket and tells her Lockwood is a charlatan and she’s better off at home. George takes them to the archives, where they find out Annabel acted in a Hamlet production and played the role of Ophelia. She says it doesn’t work like that and Blake ends up scaring Lucy from the other side of the one-way mirror. Lockwood heads off to do some other work and tells Lucy and George to grab lunch. Lucy tells him to keep her name out of the spotlight. Lucy sits in a chair and connects with the ring once again. She tells Lucy to stay in bed but Lucy gets up and grabs her clothes. She feels a unique connection with Annabel and wants to get her justice. George’s voice wakes her up and she finds herself fully clothed in the bathtub.

This recap of the Netflix series Lockwood and Co Season 1 Episode 2, “Let Go Of Me”, contains spoilers. The selling point of Lockwood & Co.

Huge Blake, it turns out, is very well-connected, and when Barnes takes Lucy to interrogate him, he’s mostly proving a point that the kids can’t just go about things however they like without facing consequences. He makes a massive deal out of it in the press, including mentioning Lucy’s involvement despite her asking him not to, so that DEPRAC can’t be seen to be covering up the investigation. Lucy is kind of a celebrity herself; she’s well-known in paranormal circles to the extent that Barnes insists on Anthony firing her since she didn’t complete one of the grades at Fittes that was mandatory for her employment. So, DEPRAC stands for the Department of Psychical Research and Control and is a government organization devoted to tackling The Problem while maintaining control of the various agencies that are making a living off it, whether that’s for the state or independently. That rather ungainly acronym is important since it keeps a close eye on all paranormal agencies, including Lockwood and Co., and at the start of “Let Go Of Me”, one of its agents, Inspector Barnes, hands Anthony a bill of damages for £60,000 since he burned that poor old lady’s house down in When Lucy bonds with her psychically, which is itself ill-advised, she deduces that she was strangled to death by a jealous, controlling lover, who seems to have been her co-star in Hamlet, Hugo Blake.

Less money and more problems come for Lockwood & Co. in episode 2. The agency needs Lucy, but does she need it? Here's how the second episode went down.

George assumes they were here for the ring, most likely sent by Hugo Blake to retrieve it as it is evidence against him, but Lucy reveals that she has been holding on to that ring all along. She is still holding the ring she took of the dead body her and Lockwood found in a wall of the house, and it allows her to have a vision of the Visitor. After promising he will never lie to her again, the two head back to the house only to find an intruder has gotten in and attacked George. So after what happened at DEPRAC, Lucy tells Lockwood she wants to quit, angry he referred to her as an “asset” and appears to only want to use her. Her favorite shows include Lost, Outlander, Game of Thrones, and The Haunting of Hill House. Later on, the inspector puts more pressure on Anthony’s shoulder when he calls him to order that he fires Lucy as she is not fully trained and hiring her in the first place was illegal. That ring is the Source of Annabel’s apparitions and it allows her to show up in Lucy’s room in the middle of the night. After coming home, Lockwood finds out the press is blaming him and his “rogue” agents for the fire and that they are having lots of client cancellations. As she connects with the ghost of Annabel, Lucy learns that the latter was murdered by a lover who choked her to death. On one hand the interview angers DEPRAC who doesn’t like the fact that Lockwood dragged them down for never doing anything about the case before. While Lucy was taken to hospital after the fire, Anthony Lockwood was being interrogated by Inspector Barnes at DEPRAC and given a £60,000 fine for the damages to Mrs. George notices that Lucy is acting strangely and questions her sanity when he finds her taking a bath fully dressed, but he doesn’t know yet that Lucy is carrying around Annabel’s ring.

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.
