We have been reporting on “LOCKE & KEY” for nearly a year now, but it’s seemingly coming to a premature end. EW revealed that Fox passed on expanding the pilot episode into a full series. No word on whether or not it will be retooled for a later release, picked up by another outlet or left for dead.

The supernatural drama/thriller was based on Joe Hill’s graphic novel series and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. The pilot is directed by Mark Romanek (ONE HOUR PHOTO). Nick Stahl, Jesse McCartney, Mark Pellegrino, Sarah Bolger and Miranda Otto (below) starred.

After the murder of their father, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode Locke relocate with their mother to the family estate of Keyhouse, located in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. Sam Lesser, one of the teens who murdered Mr. Locke, is in a juvenile detention center and, by gazing in water, communicates with a supernatural force that promises to free him. Bode Locke, the youngest of the family, uncovers The Ghost Door, which separates his spirit from his body.
