Joe Cornish wears a lot of hats. After getting his start as a comedian writer, directing, and performing in The Adam and Joe Show, he went onto write and direct the hit 2011 film Attack The Block. He’s also worked with writing partner Edgar Wright on scripts for films such as Ant-Man and The Adventures of Tintin. In short, he stays busy. Now, his latest project is Lockwood & Co., a Netflix original show he adapted from a popular YA book series. Not only did he write the story, but he also directed two episode. And did we mention he’s only working on the sequel to Attack The Block?
Read the full synopsis for Lockwood & Co.:
Set in London in a time where the most gifted teenage ghost-hunters venture nightly into perilous combat with deadly spirits, amidst the many corporate, adult-run agencies, one stands alone: independent of any commercial imperative or adult supervision – a tiny startup, run by two teenage boys and a newly arrived, supremely psychically gifted girl, a renegade trio destined to unravel a mystery that will change the course of history: Lockwood & Co.
