Netflix’s new detective thriller Lockwood & Co. has been predicted to be one of 2023’s biggest breakout hits. Some social media users are arguing that it might become Netflix’s newest big franchise, following in the footsteps of shows like Stranger Things.
One of the most fascinating things about Lockwood & Co. is that it features a load of up-and-coming young actors who will likely become future film and television mainstays. But how old is the main cast of Lockwood & Co.?
What is Lockwood & Co. About?
Lockwood & Co. is based on the novel series written by Jonathan Stroud. Since launching in 2014, the series has grown to span six critically-acclaimed books. The Netflix version of Lockwood & Co. adapts the first two of these books, The Screaming Staircase, and The Whispering Skull.
The series is set in an alternate version of London, where spirits and other supernatural entities run rampant, harming the populace if not tightly controlled. This has led to society getting stuck in the early-1980s, meaning this version of London lacks most of the digital conveniences we take for granted. To counter the spirits, teams of teenage ghost hunters roam the night, doing their best to handle any hauntings they come across.
The story follows Lockwood & Co., a ghost-hunting group. This group consists of three young people, the psychic Lucy Carlyle, teen entrepreneur Anthony Lockwood, and the eccentric George Karim. However, unlike many other ghost-hunting firms, Lockwood & Co. isn’t corporate, meaning they don’t work to generate profit. Plus, Lockwood & Co. has no adult supervisors, and its three teen teammates investigate things others would prefer they didn’t.
