Netflix’s mystery series with a horror twist is coming back later this month and the Keepers of the Keys have big challenges ahead.

The Locke siblings are continuing their adventure into their family’s past– and it’s going to get even weirder. With the danger surrounding the keys closer than ever, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode will unlock more secrets and discover the true power of the mysterious keys.

The co-showrunner, Meredith Averill, has mentioned in an interview with Gizmodo that the new season will see the family accepting their status as Keepers of the Keys.

“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?”

Their world is about to open up in ways they never expected.

In the latest trailer, the Locke kids realize their roles in protecting the keys and what it means for the safety of their family. They have to keep the keys’ abilities away from Dodge, as well as new dark forces that look to create their own keys… including vampires, werewolves, and a giant spider. Why does it have to be giant spiders?

 

The series is based on the best-selling comic books by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. I enjoyed the first season– and you have time to catch up with season one before the 22nd, which is on Netflix now. It’s a great weekend binge-watch. It’s a horror series with an interesting mystery at its core, and it’s built for teens, families, or just those that prefer a bit less gore with their scares. Don’t walk into it expecting Hereditary, think more Haunting of Hill House.

After their father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the three Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father’s death.
