No. Both Kubrick's film and this mini-series are inspired by the Stephen King novel "The Shining", but this version does not draw any inspiration from Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the novel. The creation of this mini-series is attributed to Stephen King's dissatisfaction with the 1980 version of the story by director Stanley Kubrick.
