"This world has so much potential to be reborn," we hear Dodge/Gabe say.
Tyler assures him that at least they know that Dodge is gone-except Dodge is now Gabe, who is growing closer to Kinsey. "Just because we figured out a few of the keys, we think we know everything," Bode tells his siblings.
Nina apparently has some lingering fragments of memories, or at least a strong foreboding that perhaps the kids are not alright.
She's struggling with "things that make no sense to me"-i.e., all of season 1's supernatural happenings, which adults tend to forget pretty quickly. The trailer opens with Nina back in Alcoholics Anonymous after her sobriety lapsed during the traumatic events of last season. "What does it mean as they get closer to being 18 years old-the age when you age out of magic?" she said. So how much fodder will this new material provide for the second and third seasons of Locke and Key? The official premise is pretty vague: "With danger lurking closer than they know, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode unlock more family secrets as they dig deeper into the power and mystery of the keys." But showrunner Meredith Averill told io9 last year that season 2 will incorporate some of the historical lore surrounding Key House and the forging of the magical keys, and it will explore what happens to the magic as the latest crop of Locke children approach adulthood. Hill and Rodriguez are currently working on a new six-book series, World War Key, as well as a compendium of short stories set in the past-plus a planned Locke and Key/Sandman crossover comic centered on the Hell Key (the bearer is automatically the Lord of Hell). The 10 episodes of the first season covered most of the main narrative arc in the comics but left out quite a bit of the background lore. There is still so much of the world's rich history and mythology to explore-where the keys came from, who made them, and who (or what) Dodge really is, for instance. (And can I just say-really, Kinsey? You'd trade Scot for Gabe?) So it's poor Ellie who finds herself trapped in the void, while Dodge has taken on the identity of high school nerd Gabe (Griffin Gluck), Scot's (Petrice Jones) rival for Kinsey's affections. Dodge used the Identity Key to make Ellie look like Dodge. But above all else, Dodge is a trickster. And they thought they had successfully tossed Dodge back into the void behind the Black Door and locked it behind them. Still, Rendell's kids proved to be a formidable match against Dodge's many machinations. Rendell and his surviving friends eventually imprisoned Dodge in the Well House-until Ellie (Sherri Saum), in a weak moment, tried to bring Lucas (her first love) back with the Echo Key and brought back Dodge instead. Let's just say it wasn't an "accidental drowning" that killed them but Dodge's possession of Rendell's best friend Lucas (Felix Mallard). Over the course of the first season, we learned why Rendell Locke moved far away from his ancestral home: a high school tragedy that killed two of his friends. The keys whisper to those who are sensitive to them-and of course, Bode, Tyler, and Kinsey can hear them. Shortly after arrival, Bode, the youngest sibling, finds a magical key, and then another, and another, each with its own special power.

In our 2020 year-end TV roundup, I wrote that the series successfully brought "the fabled Key House and the darkly fantastical world of the comics to vivid life." I've been eager for more of the story-and we'll be getting a lot more, since the series has already been renewed for a third season.įollowing the brutal murder of their father, Rendell (Bill Heck, The Alienist), the surviving members of the Locke family-mom Nina (Darby Stanchfield, Scandal) and three children, Tyler (Connor Jessup, Falling Skies), Kinsey (Emilia Jones, Doctor Who), and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott, IT and IT Chapter Two)-arrive at Keyhouse, Rendell's Massachusetts ancestral home. This is Netflix's adaptation of the award-winning comic book series written by Joe Hill and illustrated by Gabe Rodriguez. It has been a long, pandemic-induced wait, but the official trailer for the second season of Locke and Key is finally here.
