"The Girl in the Woods" is a new series from Peacock about a girl named Carrie who is part of a cult that guards a mysterious door in the woods of the Pacific Northwest that leads to a world of monsters. After a traumatic event, Carrie goes on the run from her cult to the local logging town where she makes friends with local teens Tasha and Nolan. But her cult isn't done with her...and neither are the monsters from the other side of the door.
It's got some of the DNA of a show like Buffy, but it deals with gender, race, sexuality, disability, class, and addiction with a cast and crew that are remarkably inclusive including a head writer who's a trans woman, a queer woman of color producing, and a non-binary lead played by a non-binary actor in Nolan (Misha Osherovich). It's inclusive queer teen horror in a way you've never seen it before.

All eight episodes are streaming on Peacock today, but we had the amazing chance to sit down and talk to actor Misha Osherovich and executive producer Jasmine Johnson about the series, it's dedication to getting right, and all the things it does that we've never seen in a teen action horror show!
