Jonathan Stroud was not directly involved in the production of the Netflix Lockwood & Co. TV series, but nevertheless served as a consultant for the program. According to showrunner Joe Cornish, Stroud was on-hand whenever the creator of the series had questions.[1] He saw all scripts for the series and was on-set quite often. He also wrote the text for material which appeared on-screen, such as passages from the Fittes Manual for Ghost-hunters.[2]
