Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez’s comic book series finally gets the Netflix treatment after many years in development…
Locke & Key will arrive on Netflix in February after many, many years of failed adaptation attempts. Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s cult comic book series always seemed ripe for television, but failed pilots came and went, and it wasn’t until Netflix stepped up with some much needed faith and cash that the ball really started rolling on the small screen version of the spooky Lovecraftian tale.
After their father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the three Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father’s death. As the Locke children explore the different keys and their unique powers, a mysterious demon awakens — and will stop at nothing to steal them. From Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) and Meredith Averill (The Haunting of Hill House), the series is a coming-of-age mystery about love, loss, and the unshakable bonds that define family.
Here’s the first trailer…
The Locke & Key cast features Darby Stanchfield (Scandal) as Nina Locke, Jackson Robert Scott (IT and IT 2) as Bode Locke, Connor Jessup (American Crime) as Tyler Locke, Emilia Jones (Horrible Histories) as Kinsey Locke, Bill Heck (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs) as Rendell Locke, Laysla De Oliveira as Dodge, Sherri Saum as Ellie Whedon, Thomas Mitchell Barnet as Sam Lesser, Griffin Gluck (American Vandal) as Gabe, Coby Bird as Rufus Whedon.
The series will hit Netflix UK on 7th February.
