Kerry Condon Joins Netflix Drama Series THE GOD OF THE WOODS

BAFTA winner and Academy Award nominee Kerry Condon ("F1", "The Banshees of Inisherin") has joined the cast of Netflix's upcoming drama series "The God of the Woods" based on the bestseller by Liz Moore ("Long Bright River"). The author also serves as executive producer and showrunner on the series alongside Liz Hannah ("The Girl from Plainville", "Mindhunter"), who adapts the book. The show also stars Maya Hawke.

"The God of the Woods" is 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 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.

Condon will star as Alice Van Laar, a character hardened by the grief of a past family tragedy and trapped in a contemptuous marriage, who is forced to face the unimaginable when her 13-year-old daughter goes missing. Hawke plays Judy Luptack, the first female investigator in the male-dominated Bureau of Criminal Investigation, who is assigned to unravel the girl's disappearance.

Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty also executive produce for Original Film. Sony Pictures Television is the studio.

Condon can next be seen in the historical drama "Pressure" alongside Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott, which opens in theaters on May 29th.
