A man receives a phone call and inserts a key into his chest, causing himself and his house to be incinerated. Three months later, the Locke family relocates to Matheson, Massachusetts, after family patriarch Rendell's murder. They move into Keyhouse, Rendell's ancestral home, with the help of Rendell's younger brother Duncan. Rendell was shot by his student, Sam. Youngest Locke son Bode comes across the well house, where he hears the voice of a woman claiming to be his echo. As eldest son Tyler and daughter Kinsey start school, Bode explores Keyhouse and hears strange whispers that lead him to magical keys hidden throughout the house. He finds the Anywhere Key, which can be used on any door to travel to any place he has seen, and the Mirror Key, which opens a portal to a dimension within any mirror. The Locke children's mother, Nina, becomes trapped in the mirror dimension. Echo tells Bode she can save his mother if he gives her the Anywhere Key. He does so, but she uses the key to escape the well house. Tyler and Kinsey arrive in time to help Nina out of the mirror. Echo meets with Sam Lesser, currently in prison for having killed Rendell.

The Locke children find their mother has no recollection of being trapped in the mirror dimension. At school, Tyler becomes interested in Jackie, while Kinsey struggles to fit in until she meets Scot and others of the "Savini squad", who are trying to make a low budget horror film, and cautiously joins them. Bode fears that Echo may come back and bonds with Rufus, the young Keyhouse groundskeeper. With help from Rufus, Bode tries to set a trap for Echo, but when she returns after using the Anywhere Key to travel the world, she detects the trap and warns Bode not to disappoint her. Bode finds another key, and after seeing a keyhole appear on the back of a store clerk's neck, tries to use it on himself just as Tyler and Kinsey arrive home.

Tyler and Kinsey go with Bode into his mind, which resembles a fantastical arcade, and Bode shows them a memory of Rendell. Echo travels to the burned-down home where the man killed himself with a key, and she recovers the undamaged key. After a hockey game, Tyler finds one of the school bullies hitting on Kinsey, and he beats the bully up due to repressed guilt, a decision that gets him in trouble with teacher Joe Ridgeway. The next day, Tyler lets Kinsey use the Head Key to enter her mind, which manifests as a distorted shopping mall, to find more memories of their father. The two are chased by a representation of Kinsey's fear before they escape. Meanwhile, Bode finds the Ghost Key, which frees his soul from his body and allows him to speak to other ghosts, including his great-great-grandfather Chamberlin Locke, who mentions Rendell and Duncan had visited him often when they were younger. Nina goes out for dinner with Ellie, Rendell's old friend and Rufus's mother. When Nina mentions Bode searching the well house, Ellie becomes gravely concerned.

Ellie helps Nina tear down a wall put up in the house's basement to block a recreation room, where Nina finds an old cabinet. Kinsey invites Scot back to her house and uses the Head Key to show him her mind, where they share a kiss.

Tyler warns Kinsey about abusing the keys' powers, not wanting to draw attention. That evening, Tyler and Kinsey hear more whispering and find the Plant Key in the graveyard. When they use it on a nearby tree, several jars are uprooted from the ground.

Nina begins drinking in the wake of recent events, which causes her to start to remember some events involving the keys. She uses the Mending Key, which allows a cabinet to restore damaged objects to their original form. Tyler and Kinsey feel that while having these memories may be helpful, they would rather have Nina sober, so they convince her to stop drinking. Tyler and Kinsey travel to the cave with the Black Door and find a list of the "Keepers of the Keys" written on the wall, which includes Rendell and his friends. Kinsey decides to visit Erin at the facility where she lives. Dodge beats her there and uses the Head Key to find the location of the Omega Key from Erin. By the time Kinsey arrives, Erin identifies Dodge as Lucas, one of Rendell's old friends. Dodge, having taken the form of Lucas using the Identity Key, is staying with Ellie and Rufus. After Nina smashes the urn containing Rendell's ashes in a fit of rage, Tyler locates the Omega Key among the ashes, because Rendell had hidden it inside of his own head.
99"Echoes"Vincenzo NataliMeredith Averill & Liz PhangFebruary 7, 2020 (2020-02-07)
The Locke children confront Ellie about Lucas, and she explains that years prior, her boyfriend Lucas (nicknamed Dodge) had been possessed by something that came through the Black Door and had killed two of their friends before Rendell killed him. Ellie and her friends hid all evidence of this, including removing Duncan's memories, and split up and hid the keys to prevent anyone from using them again. However, years later, still longing for Lucas, Ellie used the Echo Key at the well house to try to bring him back, only to bring back the entity that had possessed him – "Dodge" – instead. Ellie had called Mark about Rendell's murder so that he would use the Matchstick Key to immolate himself and keep the mapped locations of the other keys from Dodge. Once Dodge escaped the well house, she turned back into Lucas's form to live with Ellie and Rufus, coercing Ellie to steal the Crown of Shadows from Keyhouse. In the present day, Ellie and Rufus take the Shadow Key and go back to their house to retrieve the crown. Dodge is back at their house, though, waiting for them, and he takes the Shadow Key from Ellie to use for himself.

Bode finds Rufus injured but alive, but discovers no sign of Ellie. Rufus is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in Nebraska. The Lockes decide to stay in Matheson, and Kinsey starts dating Gabe, unaware that he is another form of Dodge; Dodge had used the Identity Key to change Ellie's form into Dodge's, and Ellie was the one who was thrown through the Black Door. Eden is also now possessed, having been hit by one of the demonic bullets while the door was open.

Production

[edit]

Background

[edit]
Main article: Locke & Key (TV pilot)

Locke & Key was originally developed as a television series by the Fox broadcast network during the 2010–11 television season by DreamWorks Television and 20th Century Fox Television, with Josh Friedman writing the pilot script adaptation. Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci served as executive producers for the pilot, which starred Mark Pellegrino, Miranda Otto, Jesse McCartney, Sarah Bolger, Skylar Gaertner, and Nick Stahl. The pilot was not given a series order by Fox, though it was screened at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con. At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, a feature-film trilogy was announced through Universal Pictures with Kurtzman and Orci expected to serve as executive producers.[10]

Development

[edit]

On May 9, 2016, IDW Entertainment was reported to again be developing a television-series adaptation of Locke & Key. The novel's author, Joe Hill, was expected to write the pilot and serve as an executive producer. The project was developed in association with Circle of Confusion with the intent of pitching the series to cable networks and streaming services.[10]

On April 20, 2017, Hulu gave the production a pilot order. The production was developed by Carlton Cuse with Hill and set to be directed by Scott Derrickson. Cuse was expected to serve as the series' showrunner and executive producer alongside Hill, Derrickson, Lindsey Springer, Ted Adams, and David Ozer. Production companies involved with the pilot were to include Carlton Cuse Productions and IDW Entertainment.[11] On July 14, 2017, it was reported that Andy Muschietti was replacing Derrickson as director, as Derrickson was forced to drop out of the production due to a scheduling conflict.[12] On March 27, 2018, it was reported that Hulu had passed on the pilot and declined to order it to series.[13]

On May 29, 2018, the production was reported to be in final negotiations with Netflix for a series order. Netflix redeveloped the property and discarded the Hulu pilot. Due to scheduling conflicts, Andy Muschietti was not expected to direct the new pilot, but would continue to serve as executive producer alongside Hill, Cuse, Adams, Ozer, and Barbara Muschietti. Production companies involved with the new iteration of the project were set to include Genre Arts and IDW Entertainment.[14] On July 25, 2018, Netflix officially gave the production a series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes. Aron Eli Coleite, Meredith Averill, and Rick Jacobs were announced as new executive producers. Circle of Confusion was the anticipated production company. The new iteration was created by Hill and developed by Cuse, Coleite, and Averill. The new first episode was written by Hill and Coleite, with Cuse and Averill serving as showrunners.[9] Michael Morris directed the first two episodes and served as an executive producer.[15]

In adapting the comic for the Netflix series, the fictional town where Keyhouse is located was changed from Lovecraft to Matheson, Massachusetts. According to Cuse and Averill, this change had been suggested by Hill; because of the comic's Lovecraftian themes, the setting's name was to honor author H. P. Lovecraft, but Hill wanted to honor author and screenwriter Richard Matheson for the series, instead.[16]

Although the series had not yet received an order beyond its first season, writing for a potential second season began ahead of the series' first-season premiere.[17] On March 30, 2020, Netflix renewed the series for a second season.[4] On December 18, 2020, ahead of the second-season premiere, Netflix renewed the series for a third season.[6] On April 6, 2022, it was announced that the third season would be the show's last, as planned after the success of the first season.[8]

Casting

[edit]

In August 2017, Frances O'Connor and Jackson Robert Scott were cast in the pilot's leading roles.[18][19] In September 2017, Megan Charpentier and Nate Corddry were reported to have joined the pilot's main cast.[20][21] In October 2017, Jack Mulhern, Danny Glover, and Owen Teague were cast in starring roles in the pilot.[22][23]

Alongside the announcement of the production's move to Netflix, it was revealed all of roles would be recast with the exception of Jackson Robert Scott as Bode Locke.[14] On December 19, 2018, Connor Jessup and Emilia Jones were cast to replace Mulhern and Charpentier, respectively.[24] In January 2019, Sherri Saum, Griffin Gluck, Steven Williams (replacing Glover), Darby Stanchfield (replacing O'Connor), Laysla De Oliveira, and Kevin Alves joined the cast with Gluck, Stanchfield, and De Oliveira in main roles and Williams and Alves recurring.[25][26][27][28] In February 2019, Petrice Jones and Thomas Mitchell Barnet (replacing Teague) joined the main cast; Asha Bromfield and Felix Mallard were added in recurring roles.[29][30][31]

Mirroring their appearances as characters in the comic book, creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez had cameo appearances in the first-season finale as paramedics.[32]

On September 30, 2020, Aaron Ashmore and Hallea Jones were promoted to series regulars while Brendan Hines was cast as a new series regular for the second season.[33] On October 6, 2021, it was reported that Kevin Durand had joined the cast as a new series regular for the second season.[34] On November 30, 2021, Saum was promoted to a series regular for the third season.[35]

Filming

[edit]
Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, was used for shots of the fictional Matheson, Massachusetts.

Principal photography took place from February 11 to July 5, 2019, in Hamilton[36] and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[37] Scenes within the fictional Matheson, as well as some other exteriors, such as the outside of the Drowning Cave, were filmed in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Keyhouse itself was a constructed set and shot at Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto along with other interiors.[38] The second season began filming on September 21, 2020, and concluded on April 16, 2021.[39][40] The third season began filming on May 3, 2021, and concluded on September 17, 2021.[39]

Music

[edit]

Torin Borrowdale composed the series' score.[41] When writing the main theme, Borrowdale wanted to elicit a feeling of magic and whimsey that would come with exploring a house with magical keys for the first time. Borrowdale implemented a solo cello in a low register for Dodge's theme to capture both the beauty and the darkness of Dodge's character.[42] For Bode's theme, he created a simple tune that would be adaptable to the varying situations Bode got himself into, and variations on the theme were used to reflect the mood of the scene.[43] The soundtrack was released on March 13, 2020.[42]

Release

[edit]

In December 2019, Netflix announced that the series would be released on February 7, 2020, in the US and Canada.[3] On January 8, 2020, Netflix released an official trailer for the series.[44] A world premiere was held on February 5, 2020, in Hollywood, California.[45] The second season was released on October 22, 2021.[5] The third and final season was released on August 10, 2022.[8][7]

Reception

[edit]

Audience viewership

[edit]

In its first four weeks on Netflix, the second season amassed 143 million hours watched globally.[46]

Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a 66% approval rating with 61 reviews, with an average rating of 6.58/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Though Locke & Key at times struggles to strike a consistent tone, it captures enough of the essence of its source material to provide a fiendishly fun and sufficiently spooky time."[47] On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 61 out of 100 based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[48] On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has an 83% approval rating with 12 reviews, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The critics' consensus states, "Locke & Key improves in a raucous second season that turns on the charm while leaping from one cliffhanger to the next."[49] On Rotten Tomatoes, the third season holds a 55% approval rating with 11 reviews, with an average rating of 6.2/10.[50]

The series received generally positive reviews from critics, with the score, set design, and visual effects singled out as highlights.[51] Critics mainly praised the handling of themes relating to loss and trauma and the use of horror genre elements, while criticizing the use of teen drama and romance subplots to drag out the story.[52][53] The performances of Jackson Robert Scott and Laysla De Oliveira received particular praise.[54][55][56]

USA Today claimed that the series was "nearly as strong a debut as Stranger Things was in 2016, but it [needed] a few tweaks to jump the hurdle between good and great."[57] IGN credited its portrayal of trauma and the visual effects, and praised the performances of Scott and de Oliveira, while criticizing the series for failing to consistently build tension.[58]

Polygon's review was more negative, criticizing the decision to make the television adaptation emphasize the coming-of-age story and fantasy elements, while glossing over the horror elements and haunting visuals of the source material. In particular, the review criticized the uninteresting subplots and inconsistent pacing.[59]
