She scored her breakout role in season three of Netflix’s smash hit Stranger Things in 2019.

But with production for season four of the science fiction horror series suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Maya Hawke has been trying to fill the void from the lockdown by spending quality time with her family.

And on Thursday the daughter of actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman appeared to be headed for a relaxing evening when she was spotted leaving a store in her hometown of New York City.

On the go: Maya Hawke, 22, showed off her casual style in a blue denim dress in her hometown of New York City on Thursday

The 22-year-old actress oozed casual style in a sleeveless denim dress that came down to her knees and was cinched-in at the waist.

And in keeping with a safety-first approach amid these uncertain times, Hawke wore a black protective mask during her walk through the streets of Manhattan. 

She also donned brown leather sandals and had her brown tresses styled in a sleek blunt-bob, which came compliments of her mother as they sequestered together in upstate New York in recent months.

Hawke quarantined at the homes of her famous parents once filming for Stranger Things in Atlanta was shut down in mid-March, around the time the coronavirus was deemed a pandemic.   

Like her mother and grandmother, Hawke began her career in modeling, which included being one of the faces in a video campaign for Calvin Klein underwear that was directed by Sofia Coppola.

She would go on to make her acting debut in the BBC miniseries adaption of Little Women in 2017.

The following year she landed her role in Stranger Things, playing Robin Buckley, a gay ice cream parlor worker who becomes intrinsically involved in the group’s investigations of paranormal activity.

Hawke admitted she felt pure relief when many of rabid fans of Stranger Things praised her role and performance.

‘I mean, gratifying is a funny word. It was definitely a relief. I was so nervous,’ she confessed in an interview with Netflix Queue

‘Whenever you enter a big show like that, where the characters are so beloved and any new presence can sometimes seem like a threat, it’s always a risk.’        

Hawke is also set to star in the drama film Mainstream that was directed and co-written by Gia Coppola, the niece of Sofia Coppola. It’s slated to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September 2020.
