That’s right! The mystery-thriller of Summer ’24 is getting a Netflix adaptation! Liz Moore’s God of the Woods is going to become a limited series. As the kids say, I am so seated.
According to Netflix, Moore is going to be a co-showrunner of the project along with veteran writer-producer Liz Hannah (The Girl from Plainville, Mindhunter, The Post). There is no official release date yet, but the cast has just been announced! (The cast has also drawn attention for its inclusion of two Stranger Things actors: Maya Hawke and Nell Fisher).
Voilà:

In its original review of the novel, The New Yorker said it “has the kineticism of a well-crafted miniseries” and well, I guess they were right!
