NETFLIX'S "THE GOD OF THE WOODS" STARTS PRODUCTION IN UPSTATE NEW YORK

· Netflix today announced that production on THE GOD OF THE WOODS has officially begun in New York. The highly-anticipated series adaptation of Liz Moore's New York Times' bestselling novel is now filming upstate in both the Hudson River Valley and the Adirondacks.

· Quote from Co-Creators and Co-Showrunners Liz Hannah and Liz Moore: "We're thrilled to be filming in the state that inspired the story and the region where it's actually set. The Adirondacks have a fascinating history, and we feel inspired every time we're there by the Park's beauty and complexity. We hope to do it justice on the screen."

As the past and present collide, the Van Laars' wealth and influence unravel, revealing the damaging consequences of privilege and the abuse of power.
