Since then, adapting Steinbeck\u2019s novel \u2014 the great, sprawling, three-generational entirety of it \u2014 has been my dream. More than anything, I have wanted to give full expression to the novel\u2019s astonishing, singular antiheroine, Cathy Ames,\u201d Kazan said. \u201cFlorence Pugh is our dream Cathy; I can\u2019t imagine a more thrilling actor to bring this character to life. This limited series has been my creative high point for the past two years. I hope that with our partners at Netflix, Anonymous Content, and Endeavor Content, we can do justice to this material \u2014 and shed new light on it for a 21st century audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A director isn\u2019t attached yet.
