The Locke & Key TV Series May Finally Happen

Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s graphic novel series Locke & Key has had a bumpy ride in Hollywood over the last decade. It was first optioned as a potential TV series by Fox in 2011 (it would’ve looked like this). Hulu announced their own version in 2015, and produced their own take on the pilot — only to drop it. Now Netflix is interested, and this time it’ll definitely happen. How do we know? Because for one thing, Netflix greenlights anything these days — and more importantly, this order is direct-to-series. There will be no pilot process — Netflix has committed itself to making this happen, whether it’s good or bad! (And they honestly don’t care either way.) Carlton Cuse (Lost and a bunch of Lost knockoffs) was attached to the 2015 Hulu version, and he’s behind this version as well — but it’s reportedly going to be different than what he worked on for Hulu. We don’t know in what way, because the Hulu pilot has never slipped out.
