74 Years Later, Florence Pugh’s Star-Studded Remake of a Masterpiece Arrives on Netflix in 2 Weeks
Adaptations are nothing new for Netflix, especially in the case of video games and books. The streaming powerhouse has numerous adaptations under its belt and currently in the works, many of which have never been adapted before or haven’t been adapted in decades. For the upcoming Florence Pugh-led East of Eden adaptation, the latter is true. What originated as a 1952 novel written by John Steinbeck, then became a 1955 film and 1981 miniseries, is now being adapted by Netflix into a seven-episode miniseries debuting Oct. 1.
