Petrice Jones (Step Up: High Water) has joined the cast of Netflix's Locke & Key adaptation from Joe Hill, Carlton Cuse and IDW Entertainment per Variety. Jones will take on the series regular role of Scot.
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.
Scot is a massive horror movie nerd and the ringleader of the "Savini Squad" — a group of teen misfits named for famed special effects artist Tom Savini. He becomes Kinsey Locke's first friend at the Academy.
Jones joins previously announced cast members Laysla De Oliveira, Kevin Alves, Darby Stanchfield, Griffin Gluck, Steven Williams, Sherri Saum, Emilia Jones, Connor Jessup & Jackson Robert Scott.
Jones currently also stars in the YouTube Premium series “Step Up: High Water,” and will remain on that show in addition to appearing in “Locke & Key.”
