Rachael Prior: Last News

Edgar Wright has teamed up with his longtime collaborators and fellow Brit creative veterans Nira Park, Joe Cornish and Rachael Prior to launch a new production company, Complete Fiction, with three TV projects already lined up at Netflix. Complete Fiction – which will be based in both London and LA, working across both film and TV – is a formal consolidation of a 20-plus-year relationship between the key partners.

It is one and done for Lockwood & Co. Netflix has canceled the supernatural detective series, an adaptation of Jonathan Stroud’s book series, after one season.  

K.J. Yossman ‘Lockwood & Co’ will not be renewed for a second season, Variety has learned. The supernatural detective series, which is based on Jonathan Stroud’s young adult novels of the same name, was developed by Joe Cornish under his Complete Fiction banner and debuted on Netflix in January of this year. It starred Ruby Stokes as Lucy Carlyle, a teenage ghost hunter with a tragic past, who teams up with Anthony Lockwood (played by Cameron Chapman) and George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati) to form a ghost-busting agency that specializes in dealing with deadly ghouls. Variety understands that while Netflix was very pleased with the show, and especially the work that had gone into it, viewing numbers didn’t meet the threshold to greenlight a second season.
