“You will not, Cathy. You will not disappear.” All aboard, everyone! Netflix has revealed a first look teaser for their new adaptation of the iconic classic East of Eden, ready for streaming later this fall. This modern interpretation of John Steinbeck’s masterpiece will explore the multigenerational saga of the Trask family, focusing new attention on its indelible antihero, Cathy Ames – played by Florence Pugh in this version of the story. The book was turned into the James Dean classic film East of Eden in 1955 as well. The 7-episode limited series offers a compelling perspective on the ways in which a family’s history impacts an individual’s present reality. In addition to Florence Pugh playing the lead as Cathy Ames, the series stars Christopher Abbott and Mike Faist as Adam and Charles Trask, along with Hoon Lee, Tracy Letts, Ciarán Hinds, Martha Plimpton, Joseph Zada, and Joe Anders. It’s developed by actress / writer Zoe Kazan who also co-showruns the series with Jeb Stuart. “It’s a portrait of one family, but also of a society that is rapidly changing, in which men and women must navigate difficult decisions, and come face-to-face with the reality that, ultimately, you are what you choose.” So far so good, this footage looks compelling.
