Locke & Key co-creator Joe Hill denies reports the Netflix series will do a crossover with the upcoming adaptation of The Sandman.
Locke & Key co-creator Joe Hill recently shut down rumors that the Netflix series will crossover with the streaming platform’s live-action series adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman.
“I’ve seen a few articles now teasing the possibility of a Locke & Key/Sandman crossover on Netflix & thought I’d jump in for a clickbait check. Nope!” Hill wrote on Twitter. “Like most Sandman hardcores I’m looking forward to a big, sweeping, faithful adaptation of Neil’s stories. Can’t wait.”

Nope!

Hill added that he’s had so much fun working with Gaiman on the Locke & Key/The Sandman Universe: Hell & Gone comic book miniseries, noting, “I just think it’s so cool that @neilhimself let @GR_comics & I play in the Sandman universe for the Hell & Gone comic. It was amazing to have spent some time adventuring in his world. That’s a thing I’m always going to treasure.”
Hill’s tweet builds on similar comments he recently made to CBR, saying at the time, “Never say never but, as a Sandman fan, my feeling is that I want to see Neil Gaiman’s Sandman stories. That’s what everyone wants, so my instinct is no [to the possibility of a crossover]. The two have had this nice moment where they got to hold hands in the comic books.” Hill’s Locke and Key co-creator Gabriel Rodriguez also pointed out that it took “six volumes of Locke & Key and 10 years to develop a world and idea for a worthy enough story” for Hell & Gone.
Hill and Rodriguez also took a moment to praise Locke & Key co-showrunners Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill, explaining, “I think all the delays of the previous attempts for an adaptation were the right thing to happen in order to get the property landing in the right hands at the right moment.”
While Season 2 of Locke & Key just dropped on Oct. 22, Cuse and Averill recently teased what fans can expect from the Locke siblings heading into Season 3. Specifically, Averill noted that the trio ended the season by coming to terms with the fact that they haven’t necessarily mastered the magical keys and are facing a new foe in the form of Frederick Gideon (Kevin Durand). As such, Season 3 will see the Locke siblings “picking up the pieces of things that happened well beyond before they were even born, [and] having to take responsibility for that as the new keepers of the keys.”
Developed for television by Carlton Cuse, Meredith Averill and Aron Eli Coleite, Locke & Key Season 2 is available to stream on Netflix. The Sandman currently has no release date.
