Connor Jessup (American Crime, Falling Skies) and Emilia Jones (Utopia) have been cast to star as Tyler and Kinsey Locke in Netflix's Locke & Key adaptation from Joe Hill, Carlton Cuse and IDW Entertainment per Deadline's exclusive.
The 10-episode horror/fantasy series revolves around the Locke siblings Kinsey, Tyler, and Bode (Emilia Jones, Connor Jessup & Jackson Robert Scott) 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.
Locke & Key was created by Hill and developed by Carlton Cuse (Bates Motel, Colony, Lost), Aron Eli Coleite (Star Trek: Discovery, Hostages, Heroes) and Meredith Averill (The Haunting of Hill House). Hill and Coleite will pen the premiere episode. Cuse and Averill will serve as showrunners on the Netflix series.
Jessup and Jones join previously cast Jackson Robert Scott (It: Chapter One), who plays Bode Locke (Scott stayed on from the Hulu pilot).
