Netflix’s Lockwood & Co, a television adaptation of Jonathan Stroud’s supernatural thriller book series, has revealed its lead cast via Deadline. A Banquet and Bridgerton’s Ruby Stokes has been tapped to star as Lucy Carlyle, a supremely psychically gifted girl who, together with Anthony Lockwood and George Karim (newcomers Cameron Chapman and Ali Hadji-Heshmati, respectively), run a psychic detection agency in London.
As the synopsis reads, the most gifted teenage ghost-hunters venture nightly into perilous combat with deadly spirits. Amidst the many corporate and adult-staffed agencies, one stands apart: free of financial motives or adult supervision, Lockwood & Co. is a small start-up run by a renegade trio. Together, they are destined to unravel a mystery that will chance the course of history.
Lockwood & Co.’s cast also includes Ivanno Jeremiah as Inspector Banes, Luke Treadaway as The Golden Blade, Morven Christie as Penelope Fittes, Jack Bandeira as Quill Kipps, Ben Crompton as Julius Winkman, Hayley Konadu as Flo Bones, Rhianna Dorris as Kat Godwin and Paddy Holland as Bobby Vernon.
The first season will consist of eight episodes that are an hour long each. Multiple episodes are directed by Catherine Morshead.
