The God Of The Woods' TV Adaptation News & Updates: Everything We Know So Far

The God Of The Woods is headed to television, anchoring a Netflix and Sony Pictures Television adaptation of Liz Moore's acclaimed novel. Sony Pictures Television originally acquired the project, and Netflix joined the effort in December 2025. No release date has been announced, but production is gearing up and the cast is taking shape. Set in the Adirondacks, the multi-generational drama centers on the Van Laar family, with the disappearance of Barbara Van Laar at its heart, while exploring privilege, power, and buried secrets as past and present collide. The arrangement signals a high-profile collaboration between a major streamer and a traditional studio.

First confirmations place Maya Hawke as Judy Luptack, a determined Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigator, alongside Kerry Condon as Alice Van Laar, Ella Rubin as Louise Donnadieu, Nell Fisher as Barbara, Damon Gupton as Denny Hayes, Susannah Perkins as TJ Hewitt, and Benjamin Walker as Peter Van Laar, with more castings forthcoming as production continues.
