Yahoo Movies Netflix horror show Locke & Key finally confirms release date
Netflix has finally announced the release date for long-awaited horror series Locke & Key.
Adapted from the comic book by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King) and Gabriel Rodriguez, Locke & Key will arrive on Netflix on February 7, 2020.
Locke & Key will star IT's Jackson Robert Scott, Darby Stanchfield (Scandal) and American Crime's Connor Jessup.
The official synopsis reads: "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."
Cuse and Averill will also be executive producing alongside Hill.
Locke & Key has had a long journey to the small screen, with DreamWorks first acquiring the rights in 2010.
A pilot was then filmed for Fox, but the network decided to pass on it in 2011. Then in 2017, Hulu had a go but the streaming service also opted not to greenlight the show.
It wasn't till July of last year that Netflix came to the rescue, giving the series a 10-episode order.
