Academy Award nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin, F1) has been cast in “The God of the Woods,” Netflix’s adaptation of Liz Moore‘s 2024 bestselling thriller novel.
She joins Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”), who stars as Judy Luptack, the smart and quietly determined first female investigator in the male-dominated Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Set in the Adirondacks, the multi-generational series explores 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 related.
As the past and present collide, the Van Laars’ wealth and influence unravel, revealing the damaging consequences of privilege and the abuse of power.
Kerry Condon will play series regular Alice Van Laar. Hardened by the grief of a past family tragedy and trapped in a contemptuous marriage, Alice is forced to face the unimaginable when her 13-year-old daughter goes missing.
Moore and Liz Hannah (The Post, “Mindhunter”) serve as co-showrunners in addition to executive producing with Neal H. Moritz & Pavun Shetty for Original Film (“The Boys,” I Know What You Did Last Summer).
Sony Pictures Television is the studio behind “The God of the Woods.” Keep an eye here for more casting announcements.
