Tag: Locke and Key

Locke & Key is an American fantasy horror drama television series created by Carlton Cuse, Meredith Averill, and Aron Eli Coleite, based on Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodrguez’s comic book series of the same name. Darby Stanchfield, Connor Jessup, Emilia Jones, Jackson Robert Scott, Laysla De Oliveira, Petrice Jones, and Griffin Gluck appear in the series.

The plot of Locke & Key (season-wise)

Season 1

Rendell Locke is a Seattle teacher who lives with his wife, Nina, and their three children, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode. On a bad day, Rendell’s student, Sam Lesser, a disturbed adolescent, breaks into his house and shoots Rendell and Nina. While Nina survives the gunshot, Rendell dies.

Following the catastrophe, the bereaved family relocates to Matheson and lives in Locke’s ancestral estate, Key House. As the family settles down, Bode explores the land and discovers a well-house. He hears a voice calling herself Bode’s Echo near the well. The Echo tells Bode that the Key House is full of mystical keys that can transform his appearance or transport him anyplace on the globe and that he must listen to their whispering in order to discover the keys.

While Tyler and Kinsey settle into their new school routines, Bode continues his key search. He eventually discovers the Anywhere Key embedded in Kinsey’s bracelet, which was gifted to her by their late father. Bode returns to the well, amazed by the enchantment, and informs Echo of the keys he has discovered.

Echo dupes Bode and encourages him to use the Mirror Key, which might allow his family to see his father again. Bode uses the Mirror Key, and his mother becomes caught inside the mirror by mistake. In a panic, he seeks assistance from Echo, who demands the Anywhere Key in return. However, as soon as Echo has the Key, she departs from the well-house.

Bode tells Tyler and Kinsey the truth about the magical keys, and they help him save Nina. However, Echo’s absence raises many suspicions. What was her name? And from whence did these keys originate? What motivated Echo to take the Anywhere Key?

Season 2

In season 2, the Locke children — Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode — had to figure out a lot of new keys on the fly, with far more at risk than when they initially stepped into Keyhouse in Matheson. Friends like Scott (Petrice Jones), Doug (Jesse Camacho), Zadie (Asha Bromfield), and Logan (Eric Graise), as well as familiar faces like mom Nina (Darby Stanchfield) and uncle Duncan (Aaron Ashmore), returned to the imaginative fantasy story, some with more knowledge about magic and Dodge than others.

Speaking of Dodge, Tyler and Kinsey’s respective love interests, Jackie (Genevieve Kang) and Gabe (Griffin Gluck), arrived, although Gabe had more on his mind than a romantic connection. With the addition of Eden (Hallea Jones) as Gabe’s, alias Dodge’s, new demonic companion, the second part of the Lockes’ saga delivered a strong punch.

With the aid of the town’s newest residents, The Bennetts, even more layers of Matheson and Lockes’ past were revealed. After the loss of his wife and Jamie’s mother, Josh (Brendan Hines) chooses to relocate to Matheson with his daughter Jamie (Leishe Meyboom), who meets Bode. Josh is a history teacher at the boarding school, and his ancestors interacted with the Lockes.

Season 3

The second season of Locke & Key concluded on a physical and metaphorical cliffhanger. Gabe’s corpse was never located when his magnificent new home fell down the cliffside, and the demon-possessed kid was thought dead. But, when it comes to demons, the Lockes should know better than to expect that a single horrific occurrence can deter Dodge from carrying out her evil plan.

In the upcoming edition, there are more villains than Dodge causing havoc, but some are fully trapped. Eden was flung recklessly down the dark hole after raising the Echo of the possessed Captain Gideon from the well. Her character will undoubtedly return. But after being tricked and exploited by the demons she had previously attempted to aid, speculations are circulating that Eden may flip sides and seek retribution with the Locke family.

Cast and their Characters in Locke & Key

Netflix has always had a reputation for casting the best of actors for their Originals. Take any Netflix shows such as Stranger Things or Ozark. Each one of them has an extraordinary cast with incredible actors. And Locke & Key is no exception. The show boasts some of the youngest and greatest actors working in the series.

Here is a complete list of all the cast and characters of Locke & Key.

Tyler, the eldest child of Rendell and Nina Locke and brother to Kinsey and Bode, is played by Connor. Connor, a 25-year-old Canadian actor, recently participated in two seasons of American Crime and starred in Falling Skies. He also appeared in the 2019 film Strange But True, co-starring Nick Robinson, Margaret Qualley, Blythe Danner, and Brian Cox.

She also appeared in the films Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, One Day, and Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans in 2019.

Darby Stanchfield

Darby Stanchfield plays Nina Locke, the Locke children’s mother. You’ll recognize Darby as former White House Press Secretary and OPA icon Abby Whelan if you’ve ever watched Scandal. Darby has also appeared in several TV episodes, including, Mad Men and Jericho.

Sherri Saum

Gluck has starred in a number of TV episodes and films over the years, including Netflix’s American Vandal, Private Practice, Red Band Society, and Just Go With It, in which he played Jennifer Aniston’s son Michael with Adam Sandler and Bailey Madison.

Why is Locke & Key different from the regular Netflix shows?

On its surface, Locke & Key is just another fantasy show on Netflix. However, that is far from reality. It is one of Netflix’s most original and intriguing shows. What separates the series from the shows is its ability to stay fresh with each new episode. Every single installment of the series is nothing like the previous. Even the showrunners Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill praises the series for its uniqueness.

“There’s horror, there’s fantasy, there’s magical keys, there’s a murder mystery, there’s teen drama. And trying to sort those all out and kind of calibrate them and put them all together and make them all work together was something that’s hard to do,” said Cuse. “It doesn’t fit into a box,” Averill added, “which I think is what’s made it difficult and a challenge to adapt, but also what makes it so special and unique.”

More Shows like Locke and Key

Given the show’s binge-worthy nature, viewers are likely to have finished the fast-paced series and are now seeking something new to watch. We have gathered a few additional Netflix Originals that Locke & Key viewers can appreciate after watching the show.

CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA

Some have criticized while others have praised Locke & Key for its decision to lighten up some of the harsher themes of the comic book, but for those wishing to explore the balance between light and dark, check out the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

THE ORDER

The Order is a Netflix Original Show that follows a conventional supernatural concept as young Jack Morton joins a mystical secret organization with revenge-fueled ulterior purposes. Yet, the series rapidly distinguishes itself with startling humor.

While remaining in dramatic terrain, the struggle between witches and werewolves receives a dash of undergraduate comedy that works surprisingly well.

THE STRANGER

While not as family-friendly as Locke & Key, The Stranger, based on the Harlan Coben novel, also involves a family grappling with previous secrets in a suspenseful and exhilarating roller coaster of deception.

THE SOCIETY

The first season of Netflix’s The Society followed a high school class returning on a field trip to an uninhabited town that they quickly discover is walled off from the outside world by a dense, impenetrable forest.

To live, the teenagers are compelled to not only mature swiftly and operate as a society but also to research the mysterious circumstances and strange happenings in the calm village they are confined in.

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE

The Haunting of Hill House, Mike Flanagan’s loose adaptation of Shirley Jackson‘s classic novel, stunned audiences with a time-spanning tale featuring a fantastic cast and a ghost-infested manor house that examines a family struggling to deal with the haunting effect of growing up in the house that continues to threaten the family decades after leaving their former home.
