Florence Pugh stars in the first trailer for Zoe Kazan’s new East of Eden mini-series.

Happy upfront week, to all who celebrate. And it’s an especially happy one for Steinbeck fans. Yesterday, the trailer for Netflix’s East of Eden mini-series landed, and judging from the looks served, there is much to celebrate and discuss.

Following the entangled fates of the Trask and Hamilton families, Steinbeck’s magnum opus is a family saga often described as a spin on the Cain and Abel story, set in Central California.

The new limited series was adapted by Zoe Kazan, in a neat bit of meta packaging. (Kazan’s grandfather Elia Kazan directed the 1955 film.)

Though its most famous adaptation follows the novel fairly closely, Kazan’s vision aims to deviate from the script. The indomitable matriarch Cathy Ames (Florence Pugh) is typically considered the villain of this American epic. But per the Netflix description, “this fresh interpretation of Steinbeck’s masterpiece will…[focus] new attention on its indelible antihero, Cathy Ames.”

All well and good; we love a revisionist history. And while Cathy has always been a famous beauty, Pugh is looking almost unreasonably chic as the arguable tyrant/Satan analog. In fact, as Jason P. Frank observed in Vulture yesterday, the trailer suggests this Trask family is particularly…hot.

More fuel for the fire? The people’s princes Christopher Abbott and Mike Faist round out the central cast, along with newer-comers Joseph Zada and Joe Anders as the sons.

But that’s America. We like our scrappy Western sagas with a high gloss.

I’m excited to meet these Trasks, at least. The series will premiere this fall on Netflix.
