Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for East of Eden, a new limited series based on John Steinbeck’s classic novel.
The seven-part series will explore the multigenerational saga of the Trask family, with Florence Pugh taking on the role of the story’s complex antihero, Cathy Ames.
Set to arrive on Netflix on October 1, East of Eden is a new interpretation of Steinbeck’s 1952 novel, which explores family, morality and the choices that shape generations.
Pugh stars alongside Christopher Abbott, Mike Faist, Hoon Lee, Tracy Letts, Ciarán Hinds, Martha Plimpton, Joseph Zada and Joe Anders.
The series is written by Zoe Kazan, who serves as co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Jeb Stuart.
Garth Davis directs the first four episodes, with Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre directing episodes five through seven. Both also serve as executive producers.
East of Eden is produced by Fifth Season and Anonymous Content.
