Netflix has released a new trailer for their latest comic book adaptation, Locke & Key. Coming off the success of Umbrella Academy, which is also based on a comic book series, it is exciting to see more comic book adventures coming from Netflix.
We’ve seen plenty of memes on the internet commenting about how all of the new streaming services will hurt Netflix. Having so many networks end their Netflix contracts and move popular shows like Friends and The Office to their own network streaming service seemed to set off concerns that Netflix is done. I don’t really believe that will be the case.
When the powers at Disney pulled the Marvel shows (Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Dare Devil, Luke Cage, and The Defenders) from Netflix, many feared that would be the end of Netflix comic book programming. As we have seen, that is not the case. Netflix has responded with quality geeky programmings like Stranger Things, The Witcher, Raising Dion, and Umbrella Academy.
Locke & Key on Netflix is the long-awaited television adaptation of the best-selling comic book series by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez for IDW comics.
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.
Locke & Key stars Darby Stanchfield (Scandal) as Nina Locke, Jackson Robert Scott (IT) 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.
It will premiere on Netflix in February 2020. Which is just in time for everyone to finish binge-watching The Witcher.
