Locke and Key season 3 finale hinted at magic still being out there

Why Did The Lockes Destroy All The Key in The End? Is The Magic Still Alive in &#8216;Locke and Key&#8217; Universe?

Imagine getting magical keys that will transcend you to the world unknowns,
would help you enter your head, and even enable you to time travel. While most
of us would do and get everything our heart desires, the Locke children decide
to destroy it in the Locke and Key finale. A sheer depiction of what happens
when fantasy meets horror, Netflix’s graphic novel adaptation has that special
charm that will “Locke” you in no time. Sadly, the recently premiered third
season brought an end to the Harry Potter-esque universe.

The series unlocks the mysteries behind Mr. Locke’s magical death and the
magical keys associated with it whilst putting Locke siblings into dangerous
waters. While the first and second seasons saw the children battling with a
demon named Dodge

and learning to harness the powers of the keys, season 3 took a much darker
turn. In the season 2 finale

demonically possessed Eden Hawkins (No he has nothing to do with Stranger

in the body of a twisted British soldier until then. Season 3

If you are wondering why the Locke siblings destroyed all the keys in the end,
and what’s next for them, here’s Locke and Key ending explained.


LOCKE AND KEY SEASON 3 ENDING EXPLAINED

After the children learn the power of the creation key, they use it to trap
Fredrick Gideon
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-who-is-frederick-gideon-the-demon-that-is-coming-back-in-locke-and-key-season-3/]
in the Well House. However, he escapes the trap and destroys the Well house.
Meanwhile, Kinsey uses the newly found key and creates a way to the chest that
contains all the other keys. They then use the alpha key to destroy Gideon, the
villain. While all this is happening, the children realize the gruesomeness of
these keys. They are rather cursed than blessed with those keys. Only children
can access the magic because they are innocent and hence tempted by it. Adults
however realize the darkness and hence forget their magic.



Being under the spell of the memory key, the children tasted the dangers of
these mysterious things and finally decide to destroy them for once and all.
However, the third season of Locke and Key leaves the impression that magic is
still present. Bode
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-bode-meets-his-locke-ancestors-and-loses-her-friend-jamie-in-an-exclusive-clip-from-locke-and-key-season-3/]
tells a joke about how a key is still whispering to him, which initially freaks
out his family. He is happy that they fell for the joke. But, as the episode
comes to a close, viewers hear the recognizable magical hushing outside the
Keyhouse door. It’s a sign that magic is still alive, and if Netflix so chooses,
the plot of Locke and Key might continue. Although, that’s not happening
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-why-is-netflix-not-giving-a-season-4-to-locke-and-key-even-after-the-show-having-great-potential/]
as the Locke siblings already came to a merry closure.
