Maya Hawke to star in Netflix’s ‘God of the Woods’

March 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.
