Fans of Lockwood & Co. are worried the Netflix show could be cancelled, despite its near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The series is based on the YA books by author Jonathan Stroud and follows Lucy Carlyle as she conducts paranormal investigations around London.
Upon its release at the end of last month the show became an instant hit, and it's currently the sixth most streamed TV show on the site.
Winning both critical and commercial praise, the series gained a near perfect score of 90 percent on review site Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite this, fans are still concerned the series will not be renewed by Netflix after a spate of high-profile cancellations by the platform.
Last month, the streaming giant announced that it would not be renewing 1899, which ended on a cliff-hanger, as well as comedy series The Chair – featuring actress Sandra Oh.
Though Netflix has yet to announce their decision regarding Lockwood & Co, fans have taken to social to beg the streaming giant for a renewal of the series.

One tweeted: “I just started Lockwood and Co. on Netflix and it’s sooo good. It’s like a young Sherlock that deals with ghosts.
"It’s a lil spooky with a lil mystery. It’s so good hopefully Netflix doesn’t cancel it”.
Others agreed, with one user arguing that the series was a ‘perfect adaptation’.
They continued: “Seriously perfection in casting, writing, atmosphere... This is how it's done.

"@fictioncomplete and @JonathanAStroud did an unbelievable job. @NetflixUK please don't cancel this!”
Fans of the original book series had been waiting over a decade for the series, which was produced by Attack The Block director Joe Cornish.
Many of them also shared their love for the series and the source material, as they vented their frustrations on Twitter as they awaited news from Netflix.

“Not Lockwood and Co. already being my comfort show by the first ep in addition of being my comfort book series back when I was in high school...give em’ a second season @netflix pleathe, don’t you dare cancel it,” wrote on distressed fan.
The series has been watched for over 25.1 million hours online as of 29 January, which should help get the ball rolling for season two.
Forbes recently theorised that Netflix uses a metric called 'completion rate' when renewing shows, which measures how many viewers watch a series to the end.

It gives the brand an idea of how long viewers spent on a show and whether there is an audience for future episodes.
Forbes found shows that had more than a 50 percent completion rate tended to be renewed.
Shows that have a lower rate, like 1899 which had just 32 percent completion, get axed.
While it's not confirmed this is the main way Netflix decides to renew shows, it’s just another great excuse to binge watch your favourite series.
