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.

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...

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.

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 Netflix series "Lockwood and Co." makes us privy to a conflict between psychic agents and ghosts, where the former are constantly trying to contain the.

It was at that moment that Lucy realized that the bone glass was influencing George and that he felt an incessant need to know more about it. Joplin was the one who had killed Carver also, as the man had realized the value of the bone glass and refused to hand it over to her. The two groups ended their rivalry and learned to coexist in harmony. He referred to Bickerstaff as his master and told Lucy that he knew his master would return to complete the unfinished business. She told Joplin that she was more powerful than George and that her chances of surviving were much higher compared to his. Through Mary Dulac’s diary, Lucy and Lockwood came to know that she had killed Bickerstaff, and she said that it was an act of self-defense. George had found out that Bickerstaff was an expert in psychology and that he used to keep secret meetings in his house in Hampstead. The skull in the jar told her cryptically that death was coming and that Lockwood was hiding things from them and that he had a secret room that nobody was allowed to enter. Lockwood and Quill Kipps entered a bet where it was decided that the losing team would stop working altogether and get a full-page congratulatory note published in the Times. George knew that he had to go back to the crime cemetery and search for more hints. So, let’s see if “Lockwood and Co.” are able to make their mark and whether they are able to overcome the challenges that come their way in the sinister world. They were analogous to the liberals in the contemporary world, who wanted equality to prevail but had absolutely no idea about the ground realities or the kind of threat the visitors posed to the people living in the mortal world.

The series follows teen ghost-hunters Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes), Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman) and George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati), in an alternate ...

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.

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.

The Netflix supernatural thriller "Lockwood and Co." made us witness an unconventional relationship between two eccentric personalities.

Joplin invited George for dinner, and she was intentionally misleading him because she knew that she would require a young person like him for what she was planning to do. [in the second season](https://dmtalkies.com/lockwood-and-co-season-1-ending-explained-2023-netflix-fantasy-series/) of “Lockwood and Co.,” and the kind of obsession she showcased makes us realize that it wouldn’t be an easy task to contain her. Joplin knew that young people had a greater ability to see what was beyond, and she speculated that it was probably Bickerstaff’s biggest mistake not to take that into consideration. Joplin would have made him look into the bone glass, but Lucy arrived at just the right time and took George’s position. She knew that the bone glass could unravel many mysteries and give some more clarity about what had happened during ‘The Problem.’ She told George that Lucy and Lockwood might have been more talented than him, but it was his name that was going to go down in history. There was a hunger for knowledge and a desire for appreciation and recognition. She confronted Lockwood and told him that time and again, she had asked them to tighten the security, but nobody paid any attention to her. She had repeatedly told everybody that monetary gain or loss was not the reason behind her restlessness, but losing a unique artifact bothered her. While going back, he met Joplin, who told him that because she was a board member, she could ask them to let him in. He asked his team members, Lucy and George, to put on their game faces, as he really wanted to convert the client and earn some money to keep his agency afloat. Pamela also seemed quite interested in having a conversation with George, as both of them had a lot in common. Where one had started developing actual feelings, the other had purely deceptive and selfish motives.

'Lockwood & Co.' Season 1 ending explained: what's behind the mysterious door in Anthony Lockwood's house? Who stole the Bone Glass? Who killed Annabel?

In the end, the Bone Glass is taken in by DEPRAC to be burned, Lockwood & Co. Declaring that there will be no more mysteries between the team, Lockwood opens the door and shows Lucy and George what’s there in the very last seconds of Lockwood & Co. He tells Lucy that something is wrong and the Bone Glass is not a conduit to the eternal, but a trap holding souls. Joplin goes to the cracked Bone Glass and becomes consumed by it; she is destroyed by what she sees. She then leads him to a ceremony in the cemetery in which she’s plotting to use George and his “talent” to look into the mirror of the Bone Glass. Lockwood and Lucy manage to steal the Bone Glass at an auction where the Golden Blade tries to procure it…for (we later learn) Penelope Fittes and the mysterious harp organization. Bickerstaff was eventually killed by Mary Dulac, a woman who was used by Bickerstaff and his cult to look at “eternity” through the glass. But what exactly goes down at the end of Lockwood & Co.? A symbol that also pops up in the pursuit of the Bone Glass… Here’s Lockwood & Co. The upstart is run by a posh, but talented, teen orphan named Anthony Lockwood and buoyed by the research efforts of another scrappy teen named George. And, come to think of it, how exactly did Lucy ( [Ruby Stokes](https://decider.com/tag/ruby-stokes/)) and George ( [Ali Hadji-Heshmati](https://decider.com/tag/ali-hadji-heshmati/)) escape the horrors of Bickerstaff’s Bone Glass?

Episode 7 of Lockwood & Co begins with George walking by the banks of the Thames, carrying a heavy bag full of supplies. He looks around him and then moves ...

And the charm of the book is its cleverness, the way Lockwood is competent and thinks of everything beforehand. Lucy and Lockwood enter the auction dressed in hoods, like the others in the audience. Lucy and Lockwood reach the hatch and enter the basement. He seems to know exactly who they are and reveals that he had already snitched to Winkman about the undercover agent. The Golden Blade chases them on the roof but Lockwood holds him off while Lucy throws the mirror into Flo’s waiting net. Lockwood gives Lucy some flares and moves to the front. Lockwood has a panic attack about the agent’s death but Lucy gets him to pull himself together. Lockwood says everything ends in the end and when he leaves he doesn’t want to leave behind broken-hearted people. He exposes Lockwood and Lucy and reveals himself to be an undercover DEPRAC agent. But someone needs to stay behind to help her with the boat. She tells Lockwood she saw a box with a harp symbol on it, the same as the one of Fairfax’s goggles, but he doesn’t know what to make of it. After Lucy and Lockwood arrive, she takes all of them to a spot near the warehouse by boat.
