“We love making TV and can’t wait to bring ‘The God of the Woods’ to life with our partners at Sony and Netflix,” Moore and Hannah told Netflix Tudum. “We hope everyone falls in love (and hate) with these characters as much as we have.”

Moore’s novel “Long Bright River” was previously adapted into a limited series in 2025 starring Amanda Seyfried.
