The decade-long journey for Joe Hill‘s “Locke & Key” comes to an end when the Netflix adaptation hits the streaming service next month.

Before it landed at the most powerful platform, the adaptation would change hands several times, beginning with plans for feature film adaptation at Dimension Films.

Once its exit from the studio, the creepy and magical genre blender would make its way to FOX, who would give the series a commitment with DreamWorks TV and exec producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci pushing the project into the pilot phase.

The great Mark Romanek, who would turn back to directing music videos, would bring the graphic novel to life and tell the story of a family who lives in a mysterious New England mansion where a slew of magical keys are discovered.

Wiki recalls the casting, in which Miranda Otto played Nina Locke, Sarah Bolger was Kinsey Locke and Nick Stahl co-starred as Duncan Locke. Skylar Gaertner played 6-year old Bode, and Harrison Thomas played a teenager possessed by an evil spirit. Actor and singer Jesse McCartney appeared as Ty Locke, the series’ male lead, and Ksenia Solo was cast as Dodge.

FOX would eventually pass on the series with the pilot screening at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con in an attempt to drum up renewed interest. MTV nearly picked it up and Hulu would also eventually pass on the series. Thankfully, Netflix has a Scrooge McDuck-sized vault filled with money and is unlocking all of our dreams on Feb. 7.

However, to tide you over, the Holy Grail has made its way online – the long sought after 2011 Mark Romanek-directed FOX pilot for “Locke & Key”! (Thanks to Bloody reader ‘John Francis G.’ for sending the link on over.)
