This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

John J. Griffin (*1988) is an American screenwriter and producer. He is best known for his work on Crater (2023) and From (2022).^[1]

From, an American science fiction/horror television drama series created and executive produced by John Griffin, directed and executive produced by Jack Bender, and showrun and executive produced by Jeff Pinkner, premiered in the US on Epix on February 20, 2022.^[2] It was nominated later the same year for Best Horror Television Series: Network/Cable at the Saturn Awards.

Griffin says the idea for the show came after the events of 9/11, which sent him on a journey of self-discovery and finding meaning when "your entire world has shattered". It was his first time, to question the permanence to the constructs society relies on.^[3] When asked about the sci-fi setting of the show, he explained he has "always been more attracted to telling human stories" and explore human themes "against an unlikely backdrop".^[4]

Personal life

He is very active on the social media platform X, especially during the airing of the series' episodes. Griffin participated in the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike in 2023.^[5]
