Why Was Lockwood and Co Cancelled?
Despite receiving glowing reviews and a passionate fanbase — affectionately known as “Lock Nation” — Netflix pulled the plug on Lockwood and Co in May 2023. The show’s cancellation came down to cold, hard viewership data.
The series picked up 79.91 million hours in the global Top 10s over three weeks but saw a massive 61% drop in viewership from week 2 to week 3. The 50 That kind of cliff-drop is often the death knell for newer shows competing for renewal budgets at Netflix. Netflix has particularly struggled to renew genre shows that skew younger, with similar cancellations including First Kill, The Imperfects, The Midnight Club, and Warrior Nun.
The completion rate for Lockwood & Co was around 54%, which was actually a relatively healthy figure — the issue was that too few people clicked on the first episode to begin with.
What Would Season 2 Have Covered?
Had Netflix renewed the show, Season 2 was expected to adapt The Hollow Boy — the third book in Jonathan Stroud’s Lockwood & Co book series — introducing a new character, Holly Munro, and expanding the supernatural mysteries. The season finale left fans with a deliberately teasing cliffhanger — a mysterious locked door swinging open — that will now forever remain unanswered on screen.
Is There Any Hope for a Revival?
Sadly, no official revival discussions have been confirmed at Netflix or any other platform. The production company Complete Fiction Pictures released a heartfelt farewell statement in May 2023, encouraging fans to continue with the original books, which do provide the story’s full resolution.
