Locke & Key Season 2 Teaser: New Magic Will Be Forged This October

If we haven't said enough then we're going to say it again. If it wasn't for Locke & Key star Darby Stanchfield, we're not sure how we would be keeping track of Netflix's hit series adaptation of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's popular comic book series. So over the summer, we learned that the second season would premiere this October and were even treated to some early looks at what's to come. Now, this is where it can get confusing. Because about two months before Season 2 premieres, Stanchfield confirmed that Season 3 had wrapped filming.

That means the cast will be hitting the press junkets for the second season with another season already in their minds. What's that mean for fans and folks like us who cover these shows? The chances for accidental spoilers increase by 273% so there's that. But for now, we have our first official look at the season in a long stretch of moving images that some of those "fancy folks" call an official teaser trailer. Remember when there were only teasers and trailers? Now we've got teaser trailers, date announcement teasers, and teasers for trailers. It makes our heads hurt sometimes… what's that? Oh! The official teaser trailer! Sorry! It's waiting for you below:

For a look at some of the new magic that will be forged when Locke & Key returns to Netflix on October 22, here's a look at the official teaser trailer:

During Netflix's Geeked Week, the cast let the fans know that the second season will be premiering this year- October 2021, to be precise. And they brought along some first images from the new season:

During an interview from last year, co-showrunner Meredith Averill (with Carlton Cuse) detailed what she would change (and keep) if the series was assigned a second set of keys. Proudly preferring "suspense and tension" over "gory and graphic" when it comes to horror, Averill revealed that the second season would retain the first season's tone. But with the kids getting older and also more experienced with the keys and their powers, the topics, situations, and enemies they face will have to grow and deepen: "The first season, we always thought of as being the story of the kids learning that they're the new Keepers of the Keys. With season two, we want to explore what that responsibility means. What does it mean as they get closer to being 18 years old—the age when you age out of magic—what does that mean? What does that look like? We cover so much of the comics in the first season, but there's so much of the lore that we held back on and new keys we created for the show that we're excited to share."

Averill continued, "Tonally, I think we intend to keep the show the same, but we do want to deepen the characters' lives and the issues they're dealing with. The older kids are moving closer to their graduation, and while grief is something that you never fully let go of, the kids are going to be able to begin moving on because, at least for now, they know the truth of what happened to him. If you can believe it, the Locke kids are going to be dealing with things far heavier than the death of their father in season two."

Based on Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's popular comic book series, Netflix's adaptation of the horror/fantasy Locke & Key focuses on the Locke siblings – Kinsey (Emilia Jones), Tyler (Connor Jessup), and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) – who move to their ancestral home in Massachusetts with their mother Nina (Darby Stanchfield) after the gruesome murder of their father, only to find the house has magical keys that give them a vast array of powers and abilities. Standing in their way is a devious demon who also wants the keys and will stop at nothing to attain them. The first season also starred Petrice Jones, Thomas Mitchell Barnet, Laysla De Oliveira, Kevin Alves, Asha Bromfield, Griffin Gluck, Steven Williams, Felix Mallard, Coby Bird, Sherri Saum, and Eric Graise. Aaron Ashmore and Hallea Jones have been promoted to series regulars for the second season, with Brendan Hines (The Tick)as a new series regular and Liyou Abere (The Boys) guest-starring.
