In 2008, writer Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez debuted Locke & Key, a horror-fantasy comic that would quickly become one of the most successful books of its kind in the 21st century. Locke & Key caught on quickly with readers, so much so that Hollywood soon came calling, and in 2010 Fox Television and DreamWorks teamed up to adapt the comic into a pilot. Sadly, Fox didn't pick up the pilot to series, and the single episode was relegated to a fan screening at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con.
Thankfully for all of us, Locke & Key's chances of making it to the screen stayed alive over the years, and after yet another failed pilot at Hulu, Netflix swooped in and ordered a series based on the book.
Locke & Key follows the Locke family, who move back to their ancestral home — a strange and very old house known as "Keyhouse" — in Massachusetts after the murder of their father. There, they find that the house is actually home to a series of keys, each with its own unexpected and often dangerous magical properties. Of course, they're not the only ones who want the keys, and a dark struggle ensues. Locke & Key finally arrives on Netflix February 7, 2020.
