“In a world plagued by ghosts, three teens band together as paranormal investigators, risking what little they have to unravel a diabolical conspiracy.”
Plot and Setting
The series is set in an alternate London where ghostly apparitions are a common occurrence, and the city is under constant threat from these supernatural entities. The government has established various agencies to combat these spirits, but the task is perilous and often deadly. Among these agencies, Lockwood & Co. stands out as a unique, independent group. Unlike the other corporate, adult-run agencies, Lockwood & Co. is a small startup run by two teenage boys and a newly arrived, supremely psychically gifted girl. This renegade trio is not only skilled in ghost-hunting but also determined to uncover a mystery that could change the course of history.
Characters and Cast
The main characters of the series include:
– Lucy Carlyle (played by Ruby Stokes): A young girl with extraordinary psychic abilities who joins Lockwood & Co. Her talents make her an invaluable asset to the team.
– Anthony Lockwood (played by Cameron Chapman): The charismatic and determined leader of the agency. His leadership and bravery are crucial in their dangerous missions.
– George Cubbins (played by Ali Hadji-Heshmati): The brains of the operation, George is a researcher and strategist who helps the team navigate through their perilous investigations.
The chemistry between these characters is expected to be a significant draw for the audience, as they navigate through the challenges of ghost-hunting while dealing with their personal struggles and growth.
“In London, where the most gifted teenage ghost-hunters venture nightly into perilous combat with deadly spirits, amidst the many corporate, adult-run agencies, one stands alone: independent of any commercial imperative or adult supervision – a tiny startup, run by two teenage boys and a newly arrived, supremely psychically gifted girl, a renegade trio destined to unravel a mystery that will change the course of history: Lockwood & Co.”
