It’s quite brief, but the teaser includes the image of someone inserting a key into the keyhole on the back of their neck, similar to the image on the previously released poster (below), someone flying, walking into a mirror, and a shadowy creature creeping through a room (above).
‘Locke & Key’ “is a horror/fantasy series that revolves around three siblings who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Massachusetts only to find the house has magical keys that give them a vast array of powers and abilities. Little do they know, a devious demon also wants the keys, and will stop at nothing to attain them.”
This series is based on the IDW Publishing comic book written by Joe Hill and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez, and was developed for television by Carlton Cuse, Aron Eli Coleite, and Meredith Averill. ‘Locke & Key’ has been bounced around quite a bit, and at one point was slated to air on FOX, before being targeted for Hulu, before Netflix finally picked it up, although it scrapped the original trailer which had directed by ‘It’s Andy Muschietti, and recast almost the entire cast, with the exception of Jackson Robert Scott who plays Bode Locke, the youngest child in the family. (He also portrayed Georgie in Muschietti’s ‘It’ films.)
