Quotes:
Peter Friedlander, Vice President, Scripted Series (US & Canada), Netflix: Zoe's thoughtful and artistic vision pays homage to her grandfathers revered film adaptation while beautifully honoring and introducing new audiences to a true canon of American literature. She is an inspiring, creative force and we can not wait for everyone to see what she and Jeb, alongside the brilliant cast led by Florence Pugh, bring to screen.
Zoe Kazan: In the process of bringing this family saga to life, the resonance of my own familial connection to the material has not been lost on me. But it is Steinbecks writing--personal, shocking, profound and free -that has kept me enthralled to East of Eden since I first read the book as a young teen. Working on this has been the greatest joy, and I am thrilled by the cast and crew we are assembling - and deeply grateful to Netflix, Fifth Season & Anonymous Content for their support.
