I’m being purposely ambiguous about that. Also, because we anticipate and hope that Locke & Key will be around for a few different seasons, we felt there was time to do some stuff now and some stuff downstream. That influenced a lot of our decisions on how things would play out. It felt really important in the first season of the show to first and foremost establish the audience’s deep bond with these three kids. How much was that on your mind?Ĭarlton Cuse: We spent an enormous amount of time looking at the comic and deciding what we wanted to be faithful to, what we wanted to expand upon and what we wanted to remix.
It seemed like you were winking at that story turn early in the season when Dodge uses the Anywhere Key to push a kid in front of a train. In that storyline, when one of Bode’s young friends catches him, Dodge pushes the friend in front of a bus. In the comics, there’s a storyline where Bode’s spirit becomes separated from his body, and Dodge proceeds to pose as Bode. It’s such a great moment when you realize he’s been Dodge all along. The moment where Griffin as Gabe is riding his bike and he has this devilish grin, he really sells it. Harry Potter was referenced in the room all the time, specifically with that part. There were some Voldemort references, too. It was really fun to craft that montage at the end that basically shows you how he/she did it.Īverill: Exactly. We need to play fair with the audience, and we need to allow there to be time for Dodge to leave a scene, use the Identity Key, and go back to turn into Gabe. We had to be careful to never cut from a scene where Dodge appears in the form we call “Well Lady” directly into a scene where Gabe is already there. It was a fun challenge when we were breaking the episode. There are all these subtle clues throughout. We knew right away from the beginning of the writers’ room that Gabe would be introduced in episode two, because that’s after Dodge has been released from the well, and we would lay in all of these subtle clues: Gabe is also new to Matheson, Gabe seems to be hungry all the time in the same way as Dodge is. For Dodge, it makes a lot of sense to do that. Dodge is trying to embed himself/herself into the Lockes’ world, specifically Kinsey’s world. We reimagined it as, well, what if Dodge was hiding in plain sight this whole season? What if the audience and our characters both didn’t know it? It serves the same function.
But the issue with it is that, Zack still looks like Lucas, so people are constantly recognizing him, and he has to kill them because of it. Meredith Averill: We loved the story in the comic of Lucas coming back and Zack Wells going to high school. What’s more, Dodge boasts a new ally: an unnamed creature in the form of Eden Hawkins (Hallea Jones). The Locke children and their friends exit the season believing they have vanquished Dodge once and for all tragically, Dodge remains at large in the form of Gabe, one of Kinsey’s (Emilia Jones) romantic interests.
In the final twist of the season, it’s revealed that Gabe is actually yet another of the secret identities of Dodge, the demonic force who otherwise appears in the form of the Well Lady (Laysla De Oliveira) and the late Lucas Caravaggio (Felix Mallard). Much like the rest of the Locke family, Gabe is new to the sleepy town of Matheson, Massachusetts - or so he claims.
LOCKE AND KEY CAST SEASON 1 SERIES
Gluck appears in Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill’s adaptation of the IDW Publishing comic book series as Gabe, a new character created specifically for the Netflix show. For American Vandal fans who once suspected Griffin Gluck’s Sam Ecklund of committing the crimes at the heart of the Netflix mocumentary series, Locke & Key brings some measure of roundabout justice.
