Maya Hawke’s ‘The God of the Woods’ Adaptation Wraps Filming for Netflix

Production on the eight-episode limited series adaptation of The God of the Woods has officially concluded, with filming wrapping across several New York locations this October. The project, which entered production on June 12, 2026, is now transitioning into post-production as Netflix prepares for an expected release in 2027.

The series is based on the 2024 bestseller by Liz Moore, which maintained a presence on the New York Times Best Seller list for 38 weeks. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of the Adirondacks, the story explores a multi-generational mystery involving a missing teenager and the long-buried secrets of a wealthy family.

The series follows investigator Judy Luptack as she untangles a multi-generational mystery.

Filming Locations and Production Timeline

Local officials in Orange County, New York, confirmed that the production finished its shoot by October 9, 2026. Filming took place in several high-profile regional locations, including the city of Newburgh and Harriman State Park. The use of these locations helps establish the specific wilderness and small-town aesthetic central to Moore’s narrative.

Romy Fay plays Michelle, one of the eight campers residing in the Balsam cabin.

The Cast and Creative Leadership

Maya Hawke leads the cast as Judy Luptack, the investigator tasked with navigating the disappearance at the heart of the story. She is joined by Kerry Condon, who portrays Alice Van Laar, the mother of the missing teenager.

The series is overseen by co-showrunners Liz Moore and Liz Hannah. To maintain a specific tonal progression across the eight episodes, the production utilized a rotating slate of directors:

Episodes 1 & 2: Directed by Cory Finley Episodes 3 & 4: Directed by Quyen Tran Episodes 5 & 6: Directed by Liz Hannah Episodes 7 & 8: Directed by Meera Menon

Adapting the Source Material

The series is expected to mirror the complex structure of the novel. By securing Moore as a co-showrunner, the adaptation aims to stay close to the atmospheric tension that made the book a commercial success.

While a specific premiere date has not been set, the 2027 release window allows for an extensive post-production period to refine the series’ period-specific visual style.
