Adapted from novels by Jonathan Stroud and coming to our screens courtesy of Attack the Block’s Joe Cornish, the series follows a trio of ghost-hunters at London's newest ghost-busting agency, Lockwood and Co, portrayed by Ruby Stokes, Cameron Chapman and Ali Hadji-Heshmati.

A trailer for Lockwood & Co previously gave fans their first look at the cast and their ghost-busting missions, promising action, swords and drama aplenty.

Fans who've already binged the series on Netflix will be thrilled to hear that further seasons could well be on the cards, with Cornish recently told RadioTimes.com that "there's definitely two more seasons we'd love to make out of the remaining books".
