Winona Ryder to Star in Untitled Supernatural Netflix Series

Winona Ryder will topline an untitled supernatural series for Netflix, Variety has confirmed.

The eight-episode thriller, previously titled “Montauk,” is set in the 1980s in the Long Island beach town and follows a 2-year-old boy who mysteriously vanishes into thin air. Family, friends and cops try to uncover the truth about his disappearance, which ends up involving top-secret government experiments, supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.

Ryder will play Joyce, the working-class mother of the missing boy. She summons a strength she never she had before, while rescuing her son from terrifying forces.

Ryder will co-star with “State of Affairs” and “The Newsroom” alum David Harbour, who has been cast as the town’s chief of police.

The series, written and directed by twin brothers Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (“Wayward Pines”), is set to debut in 2016. Karl Gajdusek, Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen are also exec producers. The project marks Ryder’s first series-regular role on TV.

Netflix Cast Has Seen ‘Stranger Things’

After a worldwide search that featured thousands of young actors, Deadline is reporting that Netflix has locked the young ensemble cast for “Stranger Things,” its upcoming supernatural period drama series written and directed by young genre filmmakers Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (“Wayward Pines”) and executive produced by Shawn Levy.

The series, which will be titled “Stranger Things,” has cast Finn Wolfhard, Millie Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton, who will join adult leads Winona Ryder and David Harbour.

The eight-episode series, previously known as “Montauk,” will debut in 2016.

“Described as a love letter to the ’80s classics that captivated a generation, ‘Stranger Things’ is set in 1980 Montauk, Long Island, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.”

-Millie Brown portrays a mysterious character that Mike meets in the woods, who possesses strange abilities.

-Gaten Matarazzo is Dustin, a 12-year-old who marches to the beat of his own drum and whose sense of humor helps defuse tense situations in the series.

-Caleb McLaughlin stars as Lucas, an opinionated friend of Mike’s, who possesses a fierceness and courage the other boys lack.

-Noah Schnapp portrays Will, a small and sensitive boy who doesn’t fit into the 1980’s definition of normal. He vanishes into thin air.

-Natalia Dyer portrays Nancy, Mike’s teenage, older sister.

-Charlie Heaton portrays Jonathan, Will’s older teenage brother.

-Ryder plays Joyce, a working class single mother reeling from the disappearance of her 12-year-old son, and Harbour plays the town’s chief of police.

[Janjira54]

Digging it. Loved Super 8, this looks great too

[Veronica Mars]

Wow, every time Netflix makes me angry but letting 1,000 movies go, they do something else to make me love them again.

This looks like it might be fantastic and I'm thrilled Winona is the lead in something again.

[antmumford]

I love the look of this, they really have captured the 80's vibe of films like The Goonies etc. Looks pretty creepy too so can't wait to check this out.
The artwork on the poster is superb as well, kudos to the artist

This looks damn good imo. Netflix makes great shows and this looks just as good as normal for them if not better. I love the whole look of it.
