Winona Ryder will be making her first series-regular bow in a TV series with a starring role in Netflix’s untitled eight-episode supernatural thriller. TV Line reports that the series is being billed as “a love letter to the 80s classics that captivated a generation”. Ryder will play Joyce, a working class woman and the mother of the missing 2-year-old. In the quest to rescue her son from terrifying forces, she summons a strength she never knew she had.
Under the working title Montauk, this ‘80s-set series follows…
…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.
The series will also star David Harbour as the town’s chief of police. Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (Wayward Pines, Hidden) will write and direct all eight episodes. More on this one as we get it, folks!
