We recently learned that IT director Andy Muschietti is on board to direct the pilot episode of Hulu’s “Locke and Key,“ an adaptation of the Joe Hill comic book series. Yes, Muschietti is going from adapting Stephen King to adapting King’s son, which just seems so right.

THR reports today that Muschietti is bringing young actor Jackson Robert Scott along for the ride. The child star plays Georgie in this year’s IT.

Scott will play the role of Bode Locke, the youngest of the Locke family. Filled with all the optimism and imagination of an exuberant eight-year-old, Bode is especially attuned to the supernatural possibilities of Keyhouse… and especially vulnerable to the unnatural forces circling his family.

Frances O’Connor will be playing Bode’s mother, Nina Locke.

“Locke and Key” is a horror/fantasy series that revolves around three siblings who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Maine only to find the house has magical keys that give them an array of powers. Little do they know, a devious demon also wants the keys, and will stop at nothing to attain them.

Comic book creator Hill and Cuse (“Lost”, “Bates Motel”, “The Strain”) are collaborating on the script for the hourlong pilot. Cuse will exec produce alongside Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Cuse’s Lindsey Springer, who serves as head of the latter’s production company. Cuse will serve as showrunner, while Muschietti will direct the IDW Comics drama. IDW Entertainment president David Ozer and Hill also exec produce.
