'Locke & Key' TV series in doubt?

Fox may not commission a full series based on the forthcoming Locke & Key pilot, it has been reported. According to Deadline, the network may be reluctant to pick up science-fiction shows for its upcoming season.

"I hear Fox's new crop of dramas may not include a sci-fi entry this year as both Locke & Key and Alcatraz have cooled off," wrote the website's Nellie Andreeva. Fox recently renewed Fringe for an additional season, sparking rumours that it may not have the budget to commission another sci-fi-themed programme.

Published by IDW, Locke & Key is a supernatural drama inspired by the work of horror author HP Lovecraft. The story follows a family who move to a new home and discover mysterious keys hidden within its walls. Sarah Bolger, Nick Stahl, Jesse McCartney, Ksenia Solo, Skylar Gaertner and Harrison Thomas will all star in the Locke & Key pilot, which has been directed by Otto Romanek.

I hope not. I'd rather see this one than any other they might come out with. You could get rid of all the reality shows and put this in their place and I'd be good. A lot of people are looking forward to this.

I am sad to hear this too. I love the comic books. It has so much potential. There might be hope that another network is picking it up.
