Thomas Mitchell Barnet (YouTube's Wayne) and Asha Bromfield (Riverdale) have joined the cast of Netflix's Locke & Key adaptation from Joe Hill, Carlton Cuse and IDW Entertainment per Deadline. Barnet will take on a series regular role whilst Bromfield will recur in the Netflix adaptation.
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.
Barnet will play Sam Lesser, a troubled, sensitive young man who longs for a connection and will go to desperate lengths to find one. His vulnerability makes him an easy target for Dodge's manipulation.
Bromfield is Zadie, a spunky, horror nerd and lone female member of the "Savini Squad" — that is until Kinsey Locke arrives at Matheson Academy.
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.
Barnet and Bromfield join previously announced cast members Petrice Jones, Laysla De Oliveira, Kevin Alves, Darby Stanchfield, Griffin Gluck, Steven Williams, Sherri Saum, Emilia Jones, Connor Jessup & Jackson Robert Scott.
