Danny Glover Joins “Locke & Key”!
Up-and-comer Jack Mulhern has been cast as co-lead Tyler Locke, the oldest son of Rendell and Nina and a protective older brother to his siblings, in “Locke & Key”, Hulu’s one-hour horror/fantasy drama adaptation of the IDW comic by Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez, Deadline writes.
And how about this… Danny Glover (Predator 2, Saw, the Lethal Weapon movies) will co-star in the pilot written by Hill and directed by IT‘s Andy Muschietti.
“Locke & Key” revolves around three siblings (Mulhern, Megan Charpentier, Jackson Robert Scott) who, after the gruesome murder of their father, move to their ancestral home in Maine with their mother Nina (Frances O’Connor) 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 his dad is murdered, Tyler (Mulhern) has to grow up quickly and wrestles with being a teenager and filling his father’s shoes as man of the house. Tyler’s life is even more complicated after discovering his ancestral family home has magical keys that give him a vast array of powers and abilities.
Glover will play Joe Ridgeway, the eccentric English Teacher at Matheson Academy. After the gruesome murder of their father Rendell, the Locke family moves to Matheson. Joe becomes a mentor to the Locke children and a friend to Nina, but he also knows some of the tragic secrets Rendell kept from his family.
Despite her character, Mia, dying in season one of “Dexter: Resurrection“, Deadline reports that Krysten Ritter will return for season two.
No word at this time on who Ritter will play in the upcoming season, including whether or not this means the series may resurrect her serial killer character also known as Lady Vengeance.
It is a series that has brought characters back from the dead before, after all. And that’s if Mia died at all; even Ritter has teased not to count her character out yet.
Ritter joins the previously announced Uma Thurman, who reprises her character Charley in season two.
The new season finds Dexter Morgan caught between two killers — one notorious and the other terrorizing New York in ways no one ever anticipated — all while battling his greatest enemy yet: a mid-life crisis. Harrison continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter.
Michael C. Hall will be back as Dexter Morgan in the upcoming “Dexter: Resurrection” Season 2, starring alongside Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Sarif, Dominic Fumusa, Desmond Harrington, and James Remar.
They’ll be joined by series newcomers Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer, Bokeem Woodbine as NYPD Homicide Captain Mixon, Nona Parker Johnson as Harrison Morgan’s new love interest Fiona Mixon, and Brian Cox as The New York Ripper.
You can stream the first season on Paramount+ now. Daniel Kurland wrote here on Bloody Disgusting last year, “Somehow, against all odds, Dexter: Resurrection is good. Really good.” He continued, “With any luck, Dexter: Resurrection’s second season will maintain this momentum and consistency, rather than going off the rails like in the past.”
