East of Eden is streaming on Netflix in India as a seven episode limited series, with Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott and Mike Faist leading the cast. The India title page lists Hindi, Tamil and Telugu alongside the original English audio. If you are searching for the new adaptation rather than the older film, look for the 2026 series created by Zoe Kazan.

The streaming status and language list were checked on the official Netflix India title page on 30 October 2026 at 21:55 IST. Netflix also says all seven episodes are streaming globally in its own production introduction. Availability and language menus can change, so check the title in your account before planning a viewing session.
What is East of Eden about?
The published setup follows a fiercely independent woman whose arrival divides two brothers and begins a family story spanning two generations. Cathy Ames, played by Pugh, sits at the centre of the relationships between Adam and Charles Trask. The setting begins in the early twentieth century, while the larger family history reaches across decades.
Netflix identifies the source material as John Steinbeck's 1952 novel. Kazan wrote and executive produced the adaptation, which gives the story a series format rather than a single feature film. For a viewer choosing between versions, the useful identifiers are the year, the seven episode listing and Pugh's name in the cast. Searching by the title alone can produce material about different adaptations.
The official synopsis points to family conflict, choices and the effect of the past on the next generation. That is enough to establish the premise without spelling out later revelations. This guide uses the platform's published description and credits; it offers no assessment of performances, pacing or whether the adaptation succeeds.
Who is in the East of Eden cast?
Pugh plays Cathy Ames, Abbott plays Adam Trask and Faist plays Charles Trask. The supporting cast includes Hoon Lee as Lee, Tracy Letts as Cyrus Trask, Martha Plimpton as Faye and Ciarán Hinds as Samuel Hamilton. Joseph Zada plays Cal Trask and Joe Anders plays Aron Trask.
The official Netflix production introduction also identifies the directing split: Garth Davis directed episodes one to four, and Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre directed episodes five to seven. Jeb Stuart is named as an executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Kazan. Those credits distinguish the current television production from earlier screen versions.
How many episodes are there, and how long are they?
The series has seven episodes. Netflix lists Brothers at 51 minutes, Cathy at 61 minutes, In the Valley at 58 minutes and Kate at 60 minutes. The remaining entries are Departure at 57 minutes, The Great Try at 59 minutes and Timshel at 68 minutes. These are the displayed running times, rather than estimates based on a standard television slot.
Adding the platform's displayed lengths gives 414 minutes, or six hours and 54 minutes. That calculation is useful when deciding whether to split the series across several evenings. The final episode is the longest listed instalment, so allowing a full hour for every episode would leave the last one unfinished.
Can you watch East of Eden in Hindi?
Yes. The India page lists Hindi, Tamil and Telugu audio, plus English original audio. It also lists English and Hindi audio description and English subtitles. Before starting an episode, open the audio and subtitle menu to confirm the available track for your profile. A language option in the title details is more useful than assuming that every dub or subtitle language is automatically included.
The India listing carries an A maturity label. Families choosing a shared watch should read the title information and the guidance presented inside Netflix before starting. The official page includes teasers, a trailer and a production featurette, which provide a way to check the published premise without searching for plot endings.
