How Many Episodes Are In Netflix’s ‘East of Eden’? Will There Be a Season 2 of ‘East of Eden’?

Zoe Kazan’s small-screen adaptation of East of Eden finds itself in the Netflix Top 10.

Based on John Steinbeck’s classic 1952 novel of the same name, the buzzy new limited series stars Florence Pugh as famed antihero Cathy Ames, and also features Christopher Abbott and Mike Faist as brothers Adam and Charles Trask.

Zoe, who not only created the series but wrote every episode, isn’t the first Kazan to tackle an adaptation of the classic tale, with her grandfather, Elia Kazan, directing the 1955 film adaptation starring James Dean.

“The movie isn’t a super faithful adaptation of the small part of the book that it is adapting,” Kazan told Tudum. “What I felt was the whole epic story is an opportunity to explore, to fall in love with all these characters.”

Decider gave the series a “Stream It” recommendation, calling the show “Netflix’s latest major limited series powerhouse.” What does the future hold for East of Eden? Will there be a Season 2? Here’s everything you need to know.
