Locke & Key finally coming to TV with straight-to-series Netflix order
Barring some kind of last-minute disappointment (the likes of which have only been seen three or four times before), Netflix has announced that it’s picking up an adaptation of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s Locke & Key. That comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which says Netflix has given the project a straight-to-series order and that Lost veteran Carlton Cuse will act as showrunner. Cuse was also set to be the showrunner for Hulu’s failed Locke & Key adaptation, but this version of the project will be unrelated to Hulu’s. To that end, It director Andy Muschietti will now only serve as an executive producer on Netflix’s show, with the series getting a new cast and a new director.
