I don't think there will be a 2nd season. Based on the trailer it looks like they're going to try to fill the entire 5 volume graphic novel into the 10 episodes. If it's even 1/10th as good as the comic, it will be amazing.

Were the comics as good as Wolf Among Us? We definitely need more Wolf Among Us

Locke and Key is way way darker than Narnia or Harry Potter (I haven't seen Hill House). The way the story starts is enough to give it an R rating. I hope Netflix doesn't try to sugar it up though.

@Just Curious Except the book that's being adapted is usually always GOOD because why else would they be adapting it. Game of Thrones was very faithful to its source material for the first 4-6 seasons and it ended up being great. Straying away from your source material too far (and believing you can somehow write a better story than your author) is like what happens in Season 8 of Game of Thrones. Should I bring up more examples? You call it "tidious" ('tedious'?), but people just want to see a good novel adapted into a good show. Based on the history of how these adaptations have worked out, it's usually always best when they remain faithful to a large degree.

@HybridAngelSora678 The story is awesome. It's the best comic series I've personally ever read. If they do the story even 50% justice, it will be amazing. Joe Hill is a creepy-ass horror writer.

That would be even more creepy than what happens in the comics. Next time you get on Facebook, it will be giving you ads about wellhouses and echos.

If it remains faithful to the graphic novels, it will absolutely be better than Stranger Things. The story is one of a kind.

@Ameen_Ki Right. The comic is incredible. I literally just got the audio drama so I could listen to it while reading along with the graphic novel (first time listening to an audio drama).

@user-nv9vn8fm1d What you were talking about wasn't a spoiler at all. There's no way they would be able to keep it a secret in the Netflix series, it would be the most obvious shit ever and besides one of the most entertaining parts of the original story is how the readers/viewers know who the villain is while the characters don't. There are far too many scenes that would be left out if they tried to keep it a secret and the quality of the story would definitely be diminished by it.

They also dumbed it down pretty hard as well

@subarashii2374 Read it, it's awesome. Best comic I've personally ever read. It's very dark though.

Tex Truman I watched the trailer again and noticed that from the tone, it doesn't sound like it will begin in the same gruesome manner as the graphic novels did. Sam Lesser is still casted in the show though, so I guess that's a good sign.

If you haven't read the Locke and Key comics yet, in the words of Shia Laboof: "Just DO IT!"

Yeahhh... I don't know how faithful it is going to be. It already looks like they changed a good bit just by looking at the trailer. Still excited to see it though.

@Carabas72 Like I said, we'll have to see. Not too much material in the trailers to go off of (which is for the best), and the stuff I don't recognize might just be smaller inconsequential changes. I do worry they didn't get Bode or Tyler's characters right though (Kinsey looks spot on). Bode was cast well but hopefully he's more energetic, perpetually happy, and annoying to his siblings than he's shown in the trailer. Tyler's character seems way off to me. He looks miscast compared to the other characters and looks like the kid of Goosebumps (Jack Black version). Aside from that, I hope they left a lot of the horrific stuff in the story. The antagonist in the story is so good because they're incredibly brutal and plays demented & evil mind games with everyone. I also hope they leave all the complex backstories and scheming in it along with the general mystery involved.

@Carabas72 The original story and graphic novel were already perfect to be adapted into a streaming series, so I really just hope they didn't Hollywood up the story and let their producers screw up the story to be more "modern" for 2020 audiences.

@Just Curious I'm not sure how you found A Song of Ice and Fire "cliche". The whole reason it was so popular (and the reason the show was so popular up until the writers ruined it) was that it bucked the orthodoxy for fantasy writing and the usual methods for tv show/streaming series writing period. When Season 7 came around in the show, people were already smelling something rotten and how the writers were reverting to old fantasy genre tropes that no longer made the show feel fresh anymore. You're entitled to your own opinion however. Also yes, we understand the series quality is not completely reliant upon the graphic novel, though again, based on how adaptations have worked out in the past, a movie/series usually has a much higher chance of being good when it remains faithful to its source material. Once there are signs a series has been largely rewritten by a team of writers in Hollywood (while sometimes simply just keeping the main concept in place and nothing else), usually that's a sign the series is not going to be good, or it will be extremely cliche or prescribe to some Hollywood formula that common tv show writers can't help themselves from using.

They also, more recently, created an audio drama. If you listen to the audio drama while following along with the graphic novel, it's like legit just watching a series on its own with subtitles on. Haley Joel Osment does the voice of Sam Lesser and they basically do all the sound effects (they recorded in the exact places where the book is supposed to take place in Massachusetts).

This looks really cool (huge fan of the graphic novels), however, I think they miscast Tyler in my opinion. He looks like the Goosebumps kid (Jack Black version).
