Lockwood Co - Season 1 VERIFIED


In total, there are five Lockwood & Co books. The series will start with the adaptation of the first novel of the series, The Screaming Staircase. However, it is unclear if multiple books will be covered in one season.




Lockwood Co - Season 1



It sucks, but my genuine message to showrunners is that if you are writing a first season for Netflix, you cannot end it on something like the door opening cliffhanger. I get that being restricted like that is annoying, but even if there are more stories to tell, you would be wise to provide at least some level of closure in the likely event your series is killed off. I understand that this is a departure from how many traditional TV storylines are structured, as cliffhangers are big hooks to tune in next time. But with Netflix there usually is not a next time, and what you have created and released already will suffer for it.


TheLockwood & Co. season 1 ending leaves plenty of mysteries that aren't solved before the credits roll on the finale. Based on the book of the same name, Lockwood & Co. might be hiding answers in its source material. However, as the TV show is making changes from the book series it's hard to know what could happen in Netflix's Lockwood & Co.


Lockwood & Co. is another successful supernatural, young adult series for Netflix, following in the footsteps of Stranger Things and Wednesday. Like these other shows, Lockwood & Co. season 1 revolves around murder, powerful relics, and the supernatural. So here's a full explanation of what was and wasn't revealed at the end of Lockwood & Co. season 1.


Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes, known for playing Francesca in Bridgerton seasons 1 and 2) is one of the select young people who can see and sense ghosts. Lucy is a "listener," but ghost-related talents manifest in many different ways. Lucy is only the second person ever to hold a conversation with a Type Three ghost, the most dangerous and intelligent of the three kinds of spirit. Nobody knows why The Problem began or why young people have powers that adults don't. The supernatural storyline allows Lockwood & Co. to examine childhood trauma, and specifically the trauma of child soldiers.


Maybe the most mysterious of Lockwood & Co.'s characters is the "Golden Blade" (Luke Treadaway). Although the swordsman tries multiple times to kill Lucy and Lockwood, he never reveals his name or motives in Lockwood & Co. season 1. The Golden Blade doesn't work for the Fittes organization, but he does seem to work for Penelope Fittes (Morven Christie) herself.


The Golden Blade speaks to Penelope about "members" and she gives him a box with a harp symbol on it to "quell their complaining." This reveals that he either works for a separate organization connected to Penelope or at least serves as a go-between for them. The harp symbol also appears on a strange set of ghost-seeing goggles worn by an adult, and the box appears to provide similar powers usually reserved for children. The harp symbol is most likely tied to this other organization, and the mysterious group is a larger unseen antagonist than the Fittes organization itself, with the Golden Blade serving as the most visible asset in Lockwood & Co. season 1.


Perhaps the biggest mystery Lockwood & Co. season 2 will need to answer is that of what is behind Lockwood's door. The team's leader is about to finally reveal the contents of this secret room to Lucy and George when the finale ends. Judging by Lockwood's cagey mentions of his late family, the room has to do with them, and if the show follows the books, it specifically belonged to his sister.


Given Netflix's infamous cancelations, it's possible there won't be a Lockwood & Co. season 2, but if it does return, season 1 set up the Golden Blade and Penelope Fittes as enduring antagonists. Though the bone glass mirror was damaged and heading to the DEPRAC furnaces at the end of season 1, it may get a reprieve to answer questions about The Problem. Lucy's not-so-friendly Type Three skull will also have to answer for what he saw in the mirror before being stunned into silence. And Lockwood & Co. season 2 will continue the themes of Lockwood, Lucy, and George dealing with the trauma they experienced before the series and during season 1, exemplified by Lockwood literally and emotionally opening the door to his past.


Because Lockwood & Co. was just released on Netflix, the streaming platform will not announce a decision on a second season for some time. But Cornish said he and his writing team are already prepared for that possibility.


"We've already developed the scripts for Season 2. We just have to cross all our fingers and toes that people will engage with the first season enough for Netflix to let us continue exploring the world," he said.


The truth, it seems, lies behind the locked door in his family home, and the show ends with him opening that door. Stroud's third book in the series, The Hollow Boy, teases that he reveals some of his family secrets. Judging by Cornish's comments to Newsweek, it is likely that a second season would reveal all.


With Lockwood & Co fans still waiting for the announcement of a second season, many have taken to the message forums to keep hope alive. Among these fans, many have kept George's name alive, and it is easy to see why. As a loyal and curious spirit, George alone is an excellent reason for the platform to renew the series for Season 2. Add to that a mysterious connection, intrigue and a fascinating world, and the storytelling possibilities are boundless.


The explosive finale saw the revelation of the villain from season 1, the lingering effects that dark objects can have on characters, the immense power held by protagonist Lucy Carlyle, and many many more things. There were huge clues to the past, the events that may have led to The Problem arising in the first place, and also possible hints and glimpses into the future that might even spell death for one of the main characters of the show. So, what does the ending of the first series mean, and what might it possibly hint at for a potential season 2?


Writers on the series include Joy Wilkinson (Doctor Who), Ed Hime (Skins), and Kara Smith (The Baby). There are three directors on the eight episodes of season 1. They are William McGregor (His Dark Materials), Catherine Morshead (The One), and series creator Joe Cornish himself.


If the young adult classic "Goosebumps" were remade today for a stream-friendly audience, it might look something like "Lockwood & Co." Based on the best-selling books by Jonathan Stroud, the Netflix show follows a rookie group of teens with psychic abilities who fight to control London's growing problem with ghosts. Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes), George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati), and Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman) are the trio that makes up our lovable team, playing with fire and their professional reputation right up until the season finale. With plenty more planned for fans thanks to series lead writer and director Joe Cornish, the Season 1 finale could just be the beginning of a bigger supernatural mystery.


Throughout "Lockwood & Co." Season 1, the team members aren't exactly strangers to the authorities. After landing in serious trouble for burning down a client's house in Episode 2, Lockwood and Lucy are haunted by Inspector Montagu Barnes (Ivanno Jeremiah). As a trade-off, Barnes enlists their help to find out what happened to Jack Carver, leading them to meet critical figures like Flo Bones (Hayley Konadu) along the way. By the season finale, it's an entirely different story, as George discovers that the killer has been Miss Joplin all along.


They say three's a crowd, and for George Karim, the mantra is most definitely a reality. In the build-up to the "Lockwood & Co." Season 1 finale, we see George transform from an overly confident sidekick to a third wheel who feels increasingly out of place in the trio. Having Lockwood all to himself is something George has arguably seen as a comfort blanket, and the success of Lucy's hiring seems to come with its own problems. Lucy's hidden past instantly makes George suspicious, guarding information and personal interests in a way that keeps her at a distance. In the season finale, the tables are turned, with George's safety in the hands of Lucy.


Moving from urban legend to nightmare reality, the bone glass is something that lurks in the background from the beginning of "Lockwood & Co." Made from the human bones of seven different spirits, the bone glass is supposed to show enlightenment to whoever looks into the mirror. The entire setup for the season finale revolves around Joplin trying to get the bone glass to reveal all, but she does so with perilous consequences. Lucy and George's lives are put directly at risk when they try to safeguard the bone glass, using the skull as a way to stop Joplin from fulfilling her own goals. But as the skull says, something isn't right, leading to some interesting revelations about the nature of the bone glass.


Like any good drama, keeping secrets is the lynchpin of "Lockwood & Co." Season 1. Lucy does her best to keep a lid on her dramatic training, Lockwood keeps his past at a distance, and George's best form of defense against being attacked means revealing very little about himself. In the season finale, there are still plenty of questions left unanswered, meaning hidden secrets could easily come to the front in the future. The biggest unknown is the future of Lockwood & Co. itself. While the team has kissed and made up, their professional well-being hangs in the balance, with Lockwood's past threatening to throw their hard work out the window.


What really wins out in the end? Friendship. The star trio of "Lockwood & Co." is in an unsteady truce from the first episode onward. Lucy's introduction throws the agency through many unexpected hoops, and Lockwood's refusal to do things by the book doesn't help. At the beginning of the season finale, Lucy and Lockwood are at a breaking point following a build-up of arguments throughout the season. Thanks to a life-or-death situation, it's up to each member of the team to make sure the others get through the ordeal safely. Even while Lockwood is sitting in the back of an ambulance, it looks like the three have finally found a way to be cohesive. 041b061a72
