Netflix is adapting Harlan Coben’s mystery thriller The Woods as a Polish original. The SVOD series has commissioned the European original from directors Leszek Dawid (You Are God) and Bartosz Kono…
Set in two time spans: 1994 and 2019, tells the story of a Warsaw prosecutor, Paweł Kopiński, who is still grieving the loss of his sister from twenty five years ago – the night she walked into the woods at a summer camp and was never seen again. But now, the discovery of a homicide victim – a boy who vanished along with Paweł’s sister – reveals evidence that links him to her disappearance.
“I’m so proud to be teaming up with this incredible cast and crew from Poland – and helping introduce their brilliant work to Netflix’s global audience,” said Coben. Michael Azzolino, Director of International Originals, Netflix added, “We are excited to announce that our second original series for Poland will be an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s dual timeline mystery. ATM Grupa has assembled a top notch team of producers, writers and directors who have created a faithful adaptation of the book while adding local nuance and specificity of character to complete a gripping tale of innocence lost and the power of redemption.
Dawid said, “The Woods is a story full of secrets – a story you will want to follow. Try as hard as you might to bury unresolved issues from the past, but one day they will find their way back to you anyway. What I find fascinating is the way the film deals with the idea of a carefree adolescence. Looking back at the time in your life when you lived your most beautiful but, at the same time, your most atrocious experiences. Learning the truth. You cannot go any further without doing that.
