Florence Pugh’s new Netflix series adds Kin star

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for both virtual and real-world adventures, I must admit that the casting of Ciarán Hinds in East of Eden has me more than just a little excited! With his captivating performances in films like Kin, Belfast, and Game of Thrones, it’s no surprise to see him joining such an impressive cast.

In the forthcoming Netflix series titled “East of Eden,” which stars Florence Pugh and Mike Faist, it’s been announced that actor Ciarán Hinds from the film “Kin” has joined the cast.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into this unique narrative, let me share that this captivating limited series is based on John Steinbeck’s timeless 1952 novel. Interestingly enough, a groundbreaking feature-film adaptation from 1955 catapulted the legendary James Dean to stardom.

According to Variety, the already impressive cast for this upcoming series has expanded even more. Actress Hinds, who portrayed Eamon Cunningham in BBC’s Kin, will now be joined by Tracy Letts, Martha Plimpton, Joseph Zada, and Joe Anders as part of the show.

The new cast members include Pugh, Faist, Christopher Abbott, Hoon Lee, and Zoe Kazan, who is writing the series’ scripts. It has been reported that Hinds will portray Samuel Hamilton, while Letts will take on the character of Cyrus Trask. Notably, Hinds was previously seen in the film Belfast.

Plimpton, who plays the role of Faye, expressed her enthusiasm about being in the series, posting on Instagram: “At last, it’s official! I’M SO THRILLED to be a part of this extraordinary production. The cast is simply outstanding, and I can’t wait to collaborate with @zoe.kazan and @florencepugh, both actresses I’ve long admired.

I’m absolutely thrilled! This looks set to make quite an impact. #EastofEden @Netflix, @NetflixUK, @FifthSeason, @AnonContent #TraceyLettss #CiaranHinds as reported by @hollywoodreporter

Previously, Kazan expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating: “I fell in love with ‘East of Eden’ when I first read it as a teenager. Ever since then, transforming Steinbeck’s novel – its grand, multi-generational scope – has been my longstanding aspiration.

Above all else, my goal has been to faithfully portray the extraordinary, unique antiheroine of the novel, Cathy Ames, in her full complexity. We believe that Florence Pugh would perfectly embody this role; it’s hard to imagine a more captivating performer to breathe life into this character.

East of Eden has no release date.
