Locke & Key has had a long history of making it to another medium with Dimension Films purchasing the rights in 2008.
O’Connor portrayed family matriarch Nina Locke, who moves her three children to Maine after her husband is brutally murdered.
After producing a new pilot at Hulu, that streaming giant decided to pass on the series, so Netflix has snatched it up and will retain showrunner Carlton Cuse and creator Joe Hill.
First reported by That Hashtag Show, and now confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is nearing a deal to give Locke & Key the thing it’s been trying to get for a decade: A series order.
