The Netflix iteration of "East of Eden" is notably penned by Zoe Kazan, the multi-talented granddaughter of legendary "East of Eden" director Elia Kazan. Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, who helmed Netflix's "Lady Chatterley's Lover," and Garth Davis, known for "Lion," are directing different episodes of the series.
The impressive cast includes Ciarán Hinds, Tracy Letts, Christopher Abbott, Joseph Zada, Mike Faist, Lee Hoon, and Florence Pugh, who not only stars as Cathy but also serves as a producer on the series.
