After news circulated that Hulu had passed on the Locke & Key pilot, it seems Netflix may be showing interest in acquiring the horror-themed series, according to a new report from That Hashtag Show. While there has yet to be any official confirmation, this would be another potential successful series in the hands of Netflix. A representative for Netflix has stated that there is no final deal set yet. When asked for a statement, IDW Entertainment President David Ozer said this:

“Being such an important franchise for IDW Entertainment, we hope to have an announcement regarding the Locke & Key series in the near future.”

This adaptation is based on the graphic novel written by Joe Hill, which ran from 2008 – 2013. Synopsis is as follows:

“Locke and Key revolves around three siblings who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Maine only to find the house has magical keys that give them an array of powers. Little do they know, a devious demon also wants the keys and will stop at nothing to attain them.”

The project was initially to be aired on Fox for the 2010-11 season, but wasn’t able to get off the ground. Then, there was the idea of turning it into a film before landing a chance at Hulu in April of last year. After viewing the pilot, Hulu CEO Randy Freer decided to pass on the project.
