Sherri Saum currently stars as Ellie Whedon in the Netflix series Locke & Key. Sherri’s Ellie is an old friend of Rendell Locke, who dated Rendell’s best friend Lucas back in high school. She’s now a physical education teacher at Matheson Academy. The show follows the Locke family after Rendell Locke is murdered at the hands of former student Sam Lesser. His widow, Nina, and their three children Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode move from Seattle to Matheson, Massachusetts and take residence in Rendell’s family home, Keyhouse. The children begin to discover several hidden keys throughout the home that unlock various, mystical doors. However, a demonic force is also searching for the keys to use in evil ways.

Before the role of Ellie, Sherri portrayed  Lena Adams Foster in the Freeform drama series The Fosters, and she reprised her role in its spinoff, Good Trouble in 2019. She also co-starred opposite Jessica Biel in the Facebook Watch drama series Limetown, and took on the role of Heather Hemmens’ character’s mother in the CW series, Roswell, New Mexico.

“Nothing is set in stone and they take a lot of license with what they do from the graphic novel to the translation to the screen. It’s a fantasy show, so anything can happen. These keys are magic, and I just keep telling the creators, ‘I hope there’s a key that’s from behind that door that I can open from the other side, and tiptoe back in when I want to.’ So, as far as I’m concerned, I just feel like Ellie could pop up at any random moment.”

“There’s so much more to explore. Fans of the graphic novel will know, there’s a whole list of keys that they haven’t even touched upon yet. Which is great. It’s a lot of material to mine through for potential seasons.”

On Auditioning For Ellie 10 Years Ago

“I originally auditioned for the show back in 2010 with just a whole different company, producers, the whole thing — then I don’t even think they used the Ellie Whedon character in that incarnation of the show. And then it just kind of went away. I just kind of forgot about it, and then it came back. And I’m going, “This looks really familiar, this material looks…’ And I was like, ‘This is Locke and Key again.'”

“I would love to further the friendship with Nina Locke if possible. We had such a nice little times we did share on screen, it was just a really nice connection, and she obviously needs some friends in her life. She needs someone to hang out with, and just I think there’s a lot there because I knew her husband so well.”

“Phenomenal. I mean, after I did The Fosters for five years and I thought, ‘Nothing will ever come close to this, most casts don’t get along this well,’ and it’s just kind of a rare situation. But Locke and Key was really similar in the sense that I clicked with everyone. No one had crazy egos. It was all just love and collaboration and creativity.”

“I would hope so. I mean, I have no idea what their plans are, but I feel like you always kind of need your mama, whatever stage you are in your life, and if they see fit to work that in again, I would hope it would work out. Because I love the girls, I love the show.”
