Thanks to Netflix, Joe Hill and IDW’s comic series “Locke & Key” is finally coming to life on the small screen (after *two* pilots were filmed and not picked up), and Deadline reports tonight that Darby Stanchfield (“Scandal”) has come on board to star as Nina Locke.

Miranda Otto was Nina in Fox’s pilot, while Frances O’Connor played the role in Hulu’s pilot.

“Locke & Key” is a horror-fantasy series that revolves around siblings Kinsey, Tyler and Bode (Emilia Jones, Connor Jessup and Jackson Robert Scott) who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Massachusetts only to find the house has magical keys that give them a vast array of powers and abilities. Little do they know, a devious demon also wants the keys, and will stop at nothing to attain them.

After the traumatic home attack, Nina Locke moves her family across the country to Keyhouse for a fresh start — and also to solve the mystery surrounding her late husband Rendell’s murder. She struggles with her new role as a single mom, as Rendell was always more the traditional parent type. She’s much more comfortable as an artist and house renovator.

The Netflix series was created by Hill and developed by Carlton Cuse, Aron Eli Coleite and Meredith Averill. The first episode is written by Hill and Coleite, with Cuse and Averill as showrunners.
