Set in the Adirondacks, the multigenerational drama will explore the Van Laar family's dark secrets, class tensions, and the mysterious 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.
Moore developed the series adaptation of her novel with Liz Hannah. The pair will serve as co-showrunners. They will also executive produce with Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty. Sony Pictures Television and Original Film will produce.
"We love making TV and can't wait to bring The God of the Woods to life with our partners at Sony and Netflix," said Moore and Hannah. "We hope everyone falls in love (and hate) with these characters as much as we have."
