When Will Locke and Key Season 3 Be Released?
The premiere of the fantasy series' final season is less than a month away, with the official release date scheduled for July 22, 2025. The third season is being released less than a year after the release of the second. TheLocke & Keycrew were able to accomplish this as they began filming the third season before the second had even premiered, with a large portion of Season 3’s story being written while Season 2 was filming. As the seasons were filmed so close together, there likely won’t be a large gap of time in the story itself, picking back up shortly after the catastrophic events of Season 2.

Additionally,Kevin Durand(Legion) will continue his role as the fearsome Captain Gideon, and based on the preview, audiences will be seeing the return ofLaysla De Oliveira(In The Tall Grass) as the demon Dodge. With Scot off to study film in England, we are not sure if actorPetrice Jones(Step Up: High Water) will return, though,Sherri Saum(Sunset Beach), who portrays the recently rescued Ellie, andCoby Bird(The Good Doctor), who takes on the role of her son Rufus, have been confirmed as returning cast members with even bigger roles in the coming season.
One fan favorite cast member who has not been confirmed to return isGriffin Gluck(American Vandal), who took on the role of the mysterious and manipulative Gabe in the first two seasons. With his body missing after the fateful cliffside battle and his true identity being revealed, we are unsure if this version of the character will make a comeback in Season 3.

What Is the Plot of Locke and Key Season 3?
The action was turned up in the series’ second season, so hopes are high that this trend continues into the show’s final installment. And, based on the Season 3 preview, audiences are in for an action-packed finale with multiple villains and plenty of twists in the comic book-inspired plot. The second season ofLocke & Keyended on a cliffhanger, both literally and figuratively. When Gabe’s lavish new home plummeted down the cliffside, his body was never found, and the demon-possessed teen was presumed to be dead. But, when it comes to demons, the Locke family should know better than to believe that a mere catastrophic event could stop Dodge from continuing her wicked plot.
There are more villains than Dodge stirring up chaos in the coming installment, though some are completely stuck. Eden, after raising the echo of the possessed Captain Gideon from the well, was thrown haphazardly down the dark pit herself. Her character is sure to make a return, but after being manipulated and used by the demons who she had previously tried to help, rumors are stirring that Eden may switch teams, and seek revenge alongside the Locke family.
TheLocke family is now in possession of most of the keys, which were handed over by the echo of Lucas after he emerged unscathed from the rubble at the site of the collapsed cliffside mansion. Bode used the keys to bring his mother up to speed on what has been happening with the demons her children have been battling. Meanwhile, Tyler decided to take some time away as he struggles with the loss of Jackie, whose death he still feels responsible for when his key killed not only the demon possessing her, but the body hosting it as well. The Season 3 trailer hints at Tyler’s return, as a voice is heard stating that you cannot run from your past. But, as Tyler’s 18th birthday is approaching, his memory and his relationship with his family might change. Hopes are high that Tyler will find a way to bring his beau, Jackie, back, but Tyler has said that he wants to go back to a normal life, refusing to use the Memory key. Unfortunately, a normal life might not be in the cards for any member of the Locke family.
Since Season 2, Erin Voss’ mind has been freed from her mental prison, Duncan’s memories of the keys and the tragic events around them have been restored, and Ellie has been rescued from behind the Black Door. While the family is happy to have their friends and their memories back, they are still on edge, and unsure of who they can trust. With Gabe’s body missing from the tragic cliffside collapse, there’s a chance Dodge could be hiding anywhere, and within anyone. The Season 3 trailer shows that Dodge returns, and if sticking to the source material, the demon may end up possessing a member of the Locke family. Though, given the final episode of Season 2, and the previews of Season 3, it appears that the series will bedeviating from the comic book’s storyby way of Captain Gideon’s return to the town of Matheson. With the family set to battle the two villains in the upcoming season, many are wondering if more demons will be brought forth from the other side for an epic battle between good and evil and if they will ever venture through the Black Door themselves.
One character who has seen what lies on the other side of the Omega portal is Ellie, who is said to be haunted by what she experienced while behind the Black Door. Ellie’s knowledge and connection to the other side may give the Lockes the upper hand in the final face-off against their interdimensional foes. The Locke’s will need to work together to figure out the key to bringing down Dodge once and for all.
