Netflix’s Locke and Key Shares This Interesting Connection With the ‘It’ Writer Stephen King

There are multiple fantasy adventure shows on Netflix, including The Witcher and
Stranger Things, to name a few. But there is something that sets Locke and Key
apart from everyother show on the streaming service. For many, it might be the
show’s original concept. To others, it is the amazing characters. However, all
can agree that it is the amazing creator of the show that brings a unique style
to the Netflix original.

However, what you might not know is that the creator of Locke and Key is
directly related to one of the greatest writers of all time, Stephen King. Mind
is blown, right?

Want to find out how both the geniuses are related? Then read along.


HOW IS LOCKE AND KEY CREATOR RELATED TO STEPHEN KING?

When viewing Netflix’s gripping adventure series Locke and Key
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/locke-and-key/], one name stands out above the
rest in the credits: Joe Hill. Hill not only created and executive produced the
program, but he also wrote the comic series on which it is based. If he appears
to be a natural horror storyteller, it may be because his father is Stephen
King. [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stephen-king/]

There’s a reason you didn’t realize Joe was Stephen King’s son. Joe desired to
make it in writing only on his own merit. He didn’t want to write in the shadow
of his father, and he didn’t want to earn book deals for the wrong reasons.

As a result, originally born Joseph Hillström King started writing and became
famous under his pen name Joe Hill. Interestingly Locke and Key is not the only
Netflix adaptation of Joe’s work. Have you seen In The Tall Grass, a Netflix
Original? It is based on one of his short stories.

[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] in common. Where Joe is
literally the creator of an original, his father, Stephen, has time and again
shown his love and appreciation for Stranger Things.
