Programme
- Netflix confirmed Zoe Kazan's adaptation of "East of Eden" for its October slate
- Florence Pugh stars in the film and appears in the first released scene
- Netflix has not yet published a specific release date for the title
Netflix has confirmed that a new adaptation of "East of Eden," written by Zoe Kazan and starring Florence Pugh, is among the titles coming to the streaming platform in October.
The announcement names Florence Pugh as the film's lead. Pugh appears in the first released scene from the project, which Netflix is using to promote its October programming lineup.
Zoe Kazan handles the adaptation. The source material is John Steinbeck's novel "East of Eden," first published in 1954, which has previously reached the screen only rarely — most notably in Elia Kazan's 1955 film — though the streaming announcement itself makes no reference to earlier versions.
The October slate announcement gives the film a release window rather than a specific date in the promotional material currently available. Netflix's monthly rollout typically bundles originals, licensed films and series, and the Steinbeck adaptation sits among the most prominent titles highlighted for the month.
For Pugh, the role continues a run of high-profile literary and studio projects. For Kazan, it marks a significant screenwriting credit on a major platform adaptation of an American classic.
Netflix has not yet published full scheduling details for October beyond the slate confirmation, so subscribers should expect a complete release calendar — with dates and episode counts — closer to the month's start.
