The John Steinbeck novel adaptation ‘East of Eden’ claimed the number one spot on Netflix’s weekly television rankings following its debut, attracting 6.5 million views during its opening four-day period. The project, created by Zoe Kazan and headlined by Florence Pugh, has coincided with increased interest in the source material, with publisher Penguin Classics reporting a 200% boost in sales for the classic novel since Netflix greenlit the adaptation.
Despite leading the television charts, ‘East of Eden’ ranked below several titles on Netflix’s overall viewership metrics for the week. The film ‘Unabomber,’ starring Jacob Tremblay, dominated the platform’s movies chart in its second week with 24.9 million views, followed by ‘The Widower: ‘Til Death Do Us Part’ and ‘Tyler Perry’s Doing Life,’ which accumulated 11.6 million and 9.3 million views respectively.
The remainder of Netflix’s television rankings featured a diverse slate of programming. ‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’ placed second with 5.7 million views in its third week, while the ‘A Different World’ reboot took third place with 5.1 million views during its second week. The unscripted competition series ‘Wonka’s The Golden Ticket’ landed in fourth position with 4.3 million views, with newer entries and returning shows rounding out the top ten, including ‘Lego One Piece,’ ‘The Gentlemen,’ and ‘Crew Girl,’ which was recently renewed for an additional season.
