Ella Rubin Joins Netflix Thriller Series ‘The God of the Woods’
Ella Rubin (Until Dawn, Fear Street: Prom Queen) has been cast in “The God of the Woods,” Netflix’s adaptation of Liz Moore‘s 2024 thriller novel.
She joins Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”) and Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin, F1) in the project.
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.
Rubin will play Louise Donnadieu, a working-class counselor at Camp Emerson whose life is upended when one of her young campers, Barbara, goes missing.
Condon plays Barbara’s mother, Alice Van Laar. Hawke plays Judy Luptack, investigator on the case.
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.” Stay tuned for more casting announcements.
