Netflix releases a trailer for its upcoming limited series adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, starring Florence Pugh. The new promo highlights the show’s period-drama scope and introduces Pugh as a central figure in the story.
Multiple outlets describe the series as an ambitious, sprawling take on the Steinbeck novel, with a focus on Pugh’s role as Cathy Ames. One source also notes Christopher Abbott as part of the cast, and all outlets tie the project to Zoe Kazan, who is presented as the show’s creative lead. Coverage frames the trailer as a preview of the series’ tone and character-driven conflict, particularly around Cathy.
The sources agree on the core details: Netflix is behind the release, Pugh leads the production, and the series is structured as a limited run. Mashable specifies an Oct. 1 Netflix premiere date, while the other outlets focus primarily on the trailer and cast rather than reiterating the schedule.
