Netflix orders The God of The Woods series
May 29, 2026
Liz Moore’s bestselling 2024 novel, The God of the Woods, is getting a series adaptation from Netflix, with Moore (Long Bright River) and Liz Hannah (The Girl from Plainville, Mindhunter) serving as co-showrunners, writers and executive producers.
Maya Hawke (Asteroid City, Stranger Things) will star as Judy Luptack, the first female investigator in the male-dominated Bureau of Criminal Investigation, who’s looking into the disappearance of a 13-year-old girl from a summer camp. BAFTA Award winner and Academy Award nominee Kerry Condon (Train Dreams, F1) will star as Alice Van Laar, the missing teen’s mother.
“We love making TV and can’t wait to bring The God of the Woods to life with our partners at Sony and Netflix,” Moore and Hannah commented. “We hope everyone falls in love (and hate) with these characters as much as we have.”
The cast also features Damon Gupton, Ella Rubin, Susannah Perkins, Benjamin Walker, Nell Fisher and newcomer Autumn Molina.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television, the new series follows the wealthy Van Laars as they fight to hold their family together, unearthing devastating secrets in the process. Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty executive produce for Original Film.
