Netflix is developing a new limited series based on John Steinbeck’s epic novel East of Eden. Although still in very early development, Florence Pugh is attached to star, according to Deadline, with Netflix landing the series after a major bidding war.
Zoe Kazan will write the series as well as executive producing. She follows in the footsteps of her grandfather, the legendary director Elia Kazan, who brought the book to the screen in 1955. He cast James Dean as Cal Trask, the actor’s first film role, propelling him to stardom.
