A few months ago, we brought you news about the development of the comic book series “Locke and Key” as a potential TV series. Now comes news that Fox has officially ordered a pilot for the project.
The comics focus on Nina Locke and her three children who try to move on with their lives at the family home, Keyhouse, after surviving a horrible experience.
Mysterious keys are hidden within the mansion’s walls and are being sought by a villainous character who has links to the Locke family’s past.
Fringe producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have signed up to executive produce the television show, which has been written by “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” scribe Josh Friedman.
Josh Friedman is awesome and hilarious. I have high hopes for this thing.
If you aren’t familiar with Friedman’s work, google his blog: I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing and read it all. He posts sporadically but it’s always entertaining. My favorites are Snakes On A Plane and Sledgehammer & Whore. Trust me. It’s worth your time.
