Speaking to Gamespot , Cuse explained that the writers are busy putting pen to paper on the second season of Locke & Key, even though it hasn't been officially ordered by Netflix yet."We're writing Season 2," he confirmed. "Even though it hasn't been greenlit. We're working in a room."Cuse noted that the team would have a better idea of the lifespan of the show after the conclusion of the first season, as he stressed the importance of crafting an ending that is suitable for the series, even if it means that some pages of the comic book don't directly transfer over to the small screen."I think by the time we get to the end of the season, we'll have a better sense of how much longer the show can go," he said before adding, "I mean, it is a cool ending, but again, the show's diverging from the comics and it becomes something [else]."He continued, "We want to be sure that the ending works for the TV series and we're not just forcing ourselves into an ending for endings' sake. We want the ending to be something that really feels like it's the right conclusion for our story."The story of the first season is described in the official synopsis, which reads: "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. As the Locke children explore the different keys and their unique powers, a mysterious demon awakens — and will stop at nothing to steal them. From Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Meredith Averill (The Haunting of Hill House), the series is a coming-of-age mystery about love, loss, and the unshakable bonds that define family."All 10 episodes of the first season of Locke & Key, the supernatural-horror series based on the best-selling graphic novel of the same name, originally written by Joe Hill and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez, will premiere on Netflix on Friday, February 7, 2020.To unlock more about the highly anticipated new series, watch the first scene from the first episode of season one , check out our breakdown of all the characters and keys in the first trailer , and find out everything you need to know about Netflix's next big comic book series
