　　The series is based on the IDW series by Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez. In the series, after their father is murdered, the three Locke children, and their mother move into their ancestral home of Keyhouse. They soon discover that the old house is full of magical keys that could be related to their father’s mysterious death.

　　Variety is reporting that series executive producer and co-showrunner Meredith Averill has signed an overall deal with Netflix for TV and other projects.

　　"I'm incredibly grateful to have found a home at Netflix where I feel constantly supported, challenged, and inspired," Averill said. "I look forward to continuing and expanding our relationship."

　　Series writer Hill said that 2021 is the culmination of a lot of Locke and Key events happening, including the Sandman crossover event with DC.

　　The series stars Connor Jessup, Emilia Jones, Jackson Robert Scott, Darby Stanchfield, Laysla De Oliveira, Aaron Ashmore, Petrice Jones, and Griffin Gluck.
