NETFLIX's THE GOD OF THE WOODS
- Tracy Letts, John Gallagher Jr., Lola Kirke and Colton Ryan have joined the cast of the upcoming drama starring Maya Hawke and Kerry Condon. Letts previously starred for two seasons in Showtime's Homeland, two seasons in HBO's Divorce and in the first season of HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. Gallagher starred for three seasons in HBO's The Newsroom and in the HBO limited series Olive Kitteridge. Kirke starred for four seasons in Prime Video's Mozart in the Jungle and recurred on Starz's Three Women. Ryan starred in the Hulu limited series The Girl From Plainville and recurs on Hulu's Chad Powers.
- Letts will play Peter Van Laar II, an older, wealthier, seemingly kinder version of his son (Benjamin Walker) but something potentially disturbing lurks beneath his façade.
- Gallagher will play Jacob Sluiter, a convicted murderer and recent prison escapee. He resurfaces near his old hunting grounds around the same time a 13-year-old goes missing.
- Kirke will play Delphine Barlow, Alice's (Condon) recently widowed older sister, a confident, boisterous presence with the ability to make every conversation about herself.

- Rounding out the cast in recurring roles include Camila Cano-Flavia (Three Women) as Donna Romano; Tristan Leander Green (The Bard) as Lee Towson; Cliff Chamberlain (Homeland) as Carl Stoddard; Lynden Miles Ley (Disinherited) as Bear Van Laar; Dannie McCallum (Echo) as Jeannie Clute; Andrew Polk (Daredevil) as Clovis Goldman; Chris Henry Coffey (The Madness) as Sergeant Jimmy Dagle; David Furr (The Gilded Age) as John Paul McLellan Sr.; Joseph Adams (Zero Day) as Vic Hewitt; and Brooklyn Shuck (Evil) as Annabel.
