Hulu passes on the Locke & Key pilot

Deadline

This is the second time a fantasy/horror series adaptation of the Joe Hill comic book has been rejected as a pilot. Fox passed on Locke & Key in 2011. Carlton Cuse is expected to shop the pilot -- directed by It director Andy Muschietti -- to Amazon and Netflix, according to co-star Samantha Mathis. Deadline reports that Crash and Burn, a pilot tackling school shootings, was also rejected. Locke & Key and Crash and Burn were the last remaining pilots at Hulu, which is shifting to a straight-to-series approach to new shows.
