IDW Entertainment and Joe Hill bringing Locke & Key to the small screen

May 9, 2016 by Gary Collinson

IDW Entertainment has announced that Locke & Key is finally heading to the screen, with Joe Hill set to write the pilot episode and executive produce a TV series based upon the acclaimed comic book series.

“I love this story,” said Hill as part of the announcement. “The seven years I spent working on Locke & Key was the happiest creative experience of my life and there still isn’t a day when I don’t think about those characters and miss visiting with them. The six books of the series are very like six seasons of a cable TV series and so it feels only natural to bring that world to the little screen and to see if we can’t scare the pants off viewers everywhere.”

“Having Joe at the helm of the pilot ensures that the series will hold true to the brand that fans around the world have come to love. Locke & Key is a true global franchise”, said David Ozer, President of IDW Entertainment, who will also executive produce alongside Ted Adams, David Alpert and Rick Jacobs.

A Locke & Key pilot was previously produced by 20th Century Fox TV and DreamWorks TV back in 2011, with Mark Romanek directing a cast that includes Miranda Otto, Sarah Bolger, Jesse McCartney, Nick Stahl and Ksenia Solo. However, it failed to receive a series order. A movie trilogy was also announced at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2014, but also failed to get off the ground.
