Netflix’s ‘Mr. Harrigan’s Phone Adaptation Gets a Call From Stephen King

No King has yet to create a novel so terrifying that it couldn’t be adapted for screen time. Stephen King has been the most recent novelist to have his novel adapted for television, but his piece on Netflix was not what fans were expecting. “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone”, as its title implies, is about a phone that can make people do anything. The short story is quite short and only spans 7 pages, which makes the adaptation difficult if it were to remain in true form. Netflix had no choice but to adapt it and make the show more than just 7 minutes long.
