Back at the beginning of the pandemic, in May 2020, it was announced that Edgar Wright and his filmmaking friend, Joe Cornish, were creating a production company and teaming with Netflix on a variety of projects. It appears the first project to come from that deal is coming soon, as we finally get a teaser for “Lockwood & Co.”
As seen in the teaser, which is basically just a scene from the series, “Lockwood & Co” is a spooky detective series about a girl with psychic powers who teams up with a couple of guys to form a ghost-hunting agency. But this isn’t as silly as something like “Ghostbusters,” as the scene shown in the teaser paints a more horrific picture than that comedy, as just a simple touch from the ghosts can kill you.
As mentioned, the series comes from the production company of Wright and Cornish, but the latter is more heavily involved in this series. Cornish serves as creator and director of “Lockwood & Co.” For those unfamiliar with his work, the filmmaker is probably best known for his work on “Attack the Block,” which is getting a sequel. He also directed the fantasy film, “The Kid Who Would Be King.” The series stars Ruby Stokes, Morven Christie, Luke Treadaway, and Ben Crompton.
“Lockwood & Co.” debuts on Netflix on January 27, 2023. You can watch the teaser below.
Here’s the short synopsis for the series:
A girl with extraordinary psychic abilities joins two gifted teen boys at a small ghost-hunting agency to fight the many deadly spirits haunting London.
