Academy Award nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin, F1) has officially signed on to star opposite Maya Hawke in Netflix‘s upcoming The God of the Woods series, based on the bestselling novel written by Liz Moore. This marks Hawke’s first major TV project with the streamer, following the series finale of Stranger Things.

“The show 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,” reads the official synopsis. “As the past and present collide, the Van Laars’ wealth and influence unravel, revealing the damaging consequences of privilege and the abuse of power.”
