Peacock is adapting YA supernatural drama “The Girl in the Woods” as a streaming series. Krysten Ritter (“Breaking Bad”) will direct the first four of eight episodes.
The series is based on Crypt’s 2018 short film “The Door in the Woods,” which was written and directed by Joey Greene, and the 2020 sequel “The Girl in the Woods,” written by David Calbert, Van Nguyen and directed by Roxine Helberg.
Set in the Pacific Northwest, this “Girl in the Woods” follows Carrie’s escape from her mysterious, cult-like colony that guards the world from monsters hidden behind a secret door within the woods.
