One of the factors that helps set Locke and Key apart from similar shows on Netflix<\/a> is its location, with the magical action unfolding inside the whimsically designed Keyhouse as well as in the picturesque town of Matheson.<\/p>\n

Indeed, if it weren\u2019t for the murderous demonic entity stalking its streets, Matheson would be a wonderful place to raise a family, which might leave some viewers wondering which locations were used to film the show<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s set in the US state of Massachusetts, New England, Locke and Key<\/a> was actually filmed in Canada, which has become a popular shooting location for American television producers in recent years.<\/p>\n

The entire Locke and Key cast<\/a> are back for the show\u2019s long-awaited second season, led by Connor Jessup, Emilia Jones and Jackson Robert Scott as Locke siblings Tyler, Kinsey and Bode.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your essential guide to where Locke and Key was filmed, including the real-life locations you can visit \u2013 without even using the Omega Key.<\/p>\n

Is Matheson a real place? Where is it filmed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\""Locke\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n
Netflix\u2019s Locke and Key streaming series takes place in the fictional town of Matheson, Massachusetts, which is based on the (equally fictitious) setting of the comic books, Lovecraft \u2013 named after horror writer HP Lovecraft.<\/p>\n
Comic book writer and author Joe Hill, who co-created Locke and Key alongside artist Gabriel Rodriguez, explained the name change in a newsletter to fans.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI\u2019ve learned too much about Lovecraft in the time since I wrote those first issues to feel the same way about him. And the show seemed like a good opportunity to honour the work of another, different master of dark fantasy.\u201d<\/p>
This most likely is an acknowledgment of the fact that, in recent years, Lovecraft has been criticised for comments and behaviour regarded as racist, homophobic and anti-semitic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The town\u2019s alternate name for the television show is a nod to another horror writer, Richard Matheson, who is responsible for such stories as I Am Legend, The Shrinking Man, and The Twilight Zone\u2019s Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.<\/p>\n
Scenes that take place in the town of Matheson were filmed in Lunenberg, a historic small port town in Nova Scotia, Canada, with production also branching out to other areas of the country.<\/p>\n

Bad news for fans of kooky architecture: the jaw-dropping ancestral home of the Locke family \u2013 known as Keyhouse \u2013 doesn\u2019t actually exist, at least in its entirety.<\/p>\n
A front facade of the building (the ancestral home of the Locke children in the series) was built in the Canadian countryside, but the rest of the exterior was created using CGI.<\/p>\n
Several memorable scenes have taken place within the walls of Keyhouse, with these being filmed on various soundstages at\u00a0Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto, Canada.<\/p>\n
