Adapted from the Jonathan Stroud book series, the show follows a gifted teenage girl who flees to London and comes into contact with paranormal detectives agency Lockwood & Co. Together, they hunt ghosts and spirits across the capital, racing against rival agents to secure their kills.

Will there be a season 2 of Lockwood & Co?

Currently, season two of Lockwood & Co has not been confirmed by Netflix. Whether the show is renewed for another season will largely depend on how well the first season does on the site.

As the show was only released this week, it is too soon to know how many people have watched the show, but if viewing figures are high it is likely that it will be renewed.

The series is based on the Jonathan Stroud book series of the same name. Season one is adapted from the first two books, The Screaming Staircase and The Whispering Skull. There are three more novels - The Hollow Boy, The Creeping Shadow, and The Empty Grave - and one short story, The Dagger in the Desk which have not yet been adapted.

Ruby Stokes, who stars as Lucy Carlyle in the series, told Cosmopolitan UK, “I’d love to see it go again. That’s what I hoped for. I’d love to see Lucy’s character evolve, and see where Lockwood and Co goes. Who else might come to the agency or leave the agency in turn?”
