Jesse McCartney is headed back to TV.

The “Shake” singer has landed a part in the pilot Locke & Key, a family drama with supernatural elements based on the comic by Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son).

McCartney will be Ty, the oldest of the Locke children who all return to Keyhouse, the New England family mansion of their slain father, and with their mother, try to deal with an evil ghostly specter who haunts them.

The singer/actor will also get a chance to sing on the show as Ty is a musician.

FOX is expected to make a decision by May whether or not to produce the show for the 2011/2012 TV season.
