Bridgerton Actress Ruby Stokes to Star in ‘Lockwood and Co’, an Upcoming Series Adaptation of Jonathan Stroud’s Book
While Netflix might have found its magical success potion in the true crime genre, a classic that we can never forget is supernatural thrillers. Netflix is ready to bring to the platform one of its next large Originals now that Money Heist has ended. The name of this series is Lockwood and Co.
What is Lockwood and Co about?
Like most other hit shows on Netflix like The Witcher and Bridgerton, Lockwood and Co is also based on a book series. However, just as the case is with The Witcher and Bridgerton, this doesn’t take away from the intrigue and suspense of the shows. If anything, we have found time and again how the existence of a source novels series adds more depth to the plot and characters of a show.
