"“When I was a little girl, I imagined I could grow smaller - so small that the bad things couldn't find me, and I could disappear, because the world is so full of evil,” Pugh intones, set to swelling musical cues. “You are growing smaller and smaller, so small no door can keep you out and no door can close you in, so small you have almost disappeared. But you will not, Cathy, you will not disappear.”"
"East of Eden follows the Trask family and its matriarch Cathy through generations. A retelling of the story of Cain and Abel, Cathy is both Eve and the snake and is typically seen as the story's villainess. This new version, adapted by Zoe Kazan, whose grandfather Elia Kazan directed the 1955 film version, will be a little different."
"“This fresh interpretation of Steinbeck's masterpiece will explore the multigenerational saga of the Trask family, focusing new attention on its indelible antihero, Cathy Ames,” Netflix's description reads. Pugh will be joined on the show by Christopher Abbott as her husband Adam, Mike Faist as Adam's brother Charles, and Joseph Zada and Joe Anders as her sons Cal and Aron."
Netflix released the first trailer for its upcoming miniseries adaptation of John Steinbeck’s 1952 novel East of Eden. The teaser centers on Florence Pugh as Cathy Ames, featuring her monologue about shrinking to escape evil and the insistence that she will not disappear. The trailer shows Cathy in mourning attire, including black furs and round black sunglasses. The story follows the Trask family across generations, with Cathy positioned as an antihero connected to the Cain and Abel framework. Zoe Kazan adapted the material, and the cast includes Christopher Abbott as Adam, Mike Faist as Charles, and Joseph Zada and Joe Anders as Cal and Aron. The miniseries premieres in the fall on Netflix.
