Florence Pugh stars in East of Eden

East of Eden

Florence Pugh is taking on one of literature’s most fascinating antiheroines in Netflix’s ambitious new adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. Written and co-showrun by Zoe Kazan, the seven-part series focuses on Cathy Ames, whose arrival in California and relationships with brothers Adam and Charles Trask, played by Christopher Abbott and Challengers’ Mike Faist, unravel in an intense family saga. Moving across two generations in California’s Salinas Valley, it explores inheritance, identity, desire and the choices that shape us, with Ciarán Hinds, Martha Plimpton and Tracy Letts rounding out an impressive cast.

Expanded across eight episodes, this is the first time King’s novel has been adapted as a television series. On Prime Video from October 7

L-R: Emma Corrin, Freya Mayor, Olivia Colman, Hopey Parish, Rhea Norwood and Hollie Avery star in Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice

Yes, another Pride and Prejudice. But this one has the brilliant Dolly Alderton writing it, Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet, Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy and Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet, which has us excited to return to Longbourn. Netflix’s new six-part adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel is directed by Heartstopper’s Euros Lyn and brings together a delicious cast of Brits, including Rufus Sewell as Mr. Bennet, Daryl McCormack as Mr. Bingley, Jamie Demetriou as Mr. Collins, Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Louis Partridge as Mr. Wickham. Just as excited as we were for Greta Gerwig’s reimagining of Wuthering Heights, so we are for Alderton to find fresh relevance for a new generation. On Netflix from December 3.
