An Update On ‘Locke & Key’ Season 3 Release Date And Cast
Netflix’s young-adult comic adaption will return for a third season in 2022. Here’s a rundown of everything we know about Locke & Key season 3 so far, including where it’s now in production, what we can expect, how well season 2 did, and more. In December 2020, Netflix announced the third season accompanying the news that Meredith Averill had signed an overall agreement with the streaming service. Season 2 will air in November 2021, around 11 months after season 1. Thus, with Season 3’s release date set for 2022, let’s take a look at everything we know thus far.
Release date
Even though a release date for Locke and Key season 3 has yet to be announced, there’s reason to assume we won’t have to wait nearly as long as we did for season 2. The sitcom was extended for a third season in December 2020, months before the second season even aired. Indeed, Netflix Life confirmed that production on the upcoming season, which began in May, had already ended in September. Taking this into account, fresh episodes might be released as early as the first half of 2022. It will most likely be in May since a program like this needs a significant amount of post-production owing to the importance and widespread use of special effects.
Cast members
Tyler Locke, one of the siblings, bid farewell to his family in the season two finale as he prepares to relocate to Boston for studies. Tyler’s actor, on the other hand, confirmed that this was not his final performance on the show. “I don’t think his journey ends when he goes after season two,” Connor Jessup told Decider. “It didn’t feel like a fresh chapter to me, but neither did it feel like a conclusion. So Tyler has a few more options.” Season three is anticipated to involve the remainder of the key protagonists, with Emilia Jones portraying Kinsey and Jackson Robert Scott as Bode. Nina will be played by Darby Stanchfield, Duncan will be played by Aaron Ashmore, Scot will be played by Petrice Jones, Josh will be played by Brendan Hines, and Frederick Gideon will be played by Kevin Durand.
The plot of the story
The plot revolves around a family that relocated to a magical home. Rendell Locke’s death (murdered by a student, Sam Lesser) prompted his wife Nina and his three children, Tyler, Bode, and Kinsey, to relocate to his family’s home. They relocated to Matheson, Massachusetts, where they live at Keyhouse, the family home of Rendell. The narrative continues with the youngsters discovering a key that opens all of the house’s doors. After opening the doors, the kids and family quickly noticed the presence of a demonic entity in the house.
How did the second season of Locke & Key do on Netflix?
The series received 143.04 million hours of global Netflix viewing in its first four weeks. In comparison, Stranger Things season 2 received 427.44 million hours in a comparable time frame. Cowboy Bebop, which debuted around the same time as Locke & Key S2, received just 73.84 million hours of viewing time in its first three weeks before being canceled. At the end of week three, Locke & Key had a total of 124.27 million viewers.
