How 'Locke and Key' totally changed at Netflix after Hulu passed on the TV series
An adaptation of the "Locke and Key" comic book has been in development for a decade.Showrunners Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill talked to Business Insider about why the Hulu version of the show leaned more into horror, while the Netflix version relies more on the comic's fantasy elements.The new Netflix series is based on the 2008 IDW comic book by writer Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodríguez.
The biggest change in tone was regarding the horror elements of the comic book, which Cuse and his coshowrunner, Meredith Averill, told Business Insider were more prominent in the Hulu version. The Netflix version leans more into the fantasy elements of the comic, they said."With horror, once you go there, it's hard to be lighter and tell the stories with the young kids coming of age," Averill said.
Once Cuse and Averill settled on the right tone for the show, they said Netflix was supportive of the decision. "Hill House was not that," she said, adding that there are many "Easter eggs" in the Key House that make it special, such as Kinsey Locke's room having wallpaper in the shape of a key.
