Netflix has ordered seven episodes. Here’s a plot summary: “Based on the John Steinbeck novel of the same name, the series is said to ‘explore the multigenerational saga of the Trask family, focusing new attention on its indelible antihero, Cathy Ames.’” Zoe Kazan serves as executive producer and co-showrunner.
Her grandfather, Elia Kazan, directed the original film adaptation starring James Dean. “Zoe’s thoughtful and artistic vision pays homage to her grandfather’s revered film adaptation while beautifully honoring and introducing new audiences to a true canon of American literature,” said Peter Friedlander, vice president of scripted series (US & Canada) for Netflix. “She is an inspiring, creative force and we can not wait for everyone to see what she and Jeb, alongside the brilliant cast led by Florence Pugh, bring to screen.” “In the process of bringing this family saga to life, the resonance of my own familial connection to the material has not been lost on me,” Zoe added. “But it is Steinbeck’s writing–personal, shocking, profound and free –that has kept me enthralled to East of Eden since I first read the book as a young teen.
