Our top pick for October
Locke & Key: Season 2
Sure, Netflix spent $500 million to acquire Seinfeld, but you probably know all about that series at this point. What you might be aware of, however, is that the second season of spooky original series Locke & Key premieres on Netflix in October, just in time for Halloween. The dark fantasy series based on the comic book of the same name (co-created by Stephen King’s son, Joe Hill) follows the young members of the Locke family as they navigate a world of magic, danger, and mysteries unlocked by a series of keys they discover at their family home. The first season of the series introduced the family and the tragedy that brought them back to their family’s ancestral home, Keyhouse, as well as the demonic entity intent on collecting all of the keys hidden around the property. With a third season already locked in for the show, the second season is certain to plunge deeper into their family secrets.
