Maya Hawke to star in Netflix's 'God of the Woods'
by Karen Butler · UPIMarch 19 (UPI) -- Stranger Things alum Maya Hawke has signed on to star in Netflix's adaptation of Liz Moore's The God of the Woods.
The streaming service described the project as "a multi-generational drama series set in the Adirondacks, exploring the Van Laar family's dark secrets, class tensions, and the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of 13-year-old Barbara Van Laar from her family's summer camp -- in the wake of an earlier family tragedy that may be revealing the damaging consequences of privilege and the abuse of power."
Liz Hannah -- whose credits include The Girl from Plainville, Mindhunter and The Post -- will serve as showrunner alongside Moore.
No other casting or premiere date were announced.
Moore's novel, Long Bright River, was adapted as a limited series by Peacock in 2025.
