If you're one of the many pessimists out there who were bracing for the worst on the very same day the program premiered, you'll be disappointed if Lockwood & Co. becomes the latest in the never-ending line of fantasy projects to be given the boot by Netflix.
Given that upwards of 25 similarly-themed episodic originals have been and gone in the last three years alone, it's reasonable for followers of the supernatural detective series to be preparing themselves for a fate that's becoming increasingly inevitable for any effects-driven adventure, even if creator Joe Cornish remains optimistic against all odds.
Ruby Stokes discussed dumping Bridgerton for another Netflix exclusive with a much less certain future, and if Lockwood & Co. were to find the same fate as hundreds of others, her sword abilities might be of use if she were forced to go to the company's headquarters to protest a much more deadly move.
If Lockwood & Co. is buried in a deep dark hole alongside the rest of the departed fantasy favorites, it remains to be seen whether the titular agency will be able to crack open any more cases.
