A collection of TV series adaptations of classic novels and original stories, including John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden', a modern twist on Stephen King's 'Carrie', and the surreal comedy 'Small Prophets'. Also featured are the action-packed 'Treasure Island' and the Marvel continuation 'VisionQuest'.
East of Eden From Thursday, October 1st, Netflix John Steinbeck's epic novel from 1952 was made into a Hollywood blockbuster starring James Dean and directed by Elia Kazan.
It tells the story of the Trask family as they build themselves a new life in California's Salinas Valley in the years leading up to the first World War, with biblical themes abounding. Now Zoe Kazan, Elia's granddaughter, has turned her lifelong passion for Steinbeck's magnum opus into a drama series starring Florence Pugh as the novel's amoral antihero, Cathy Ames.
She arrives into the lives of Adam and Charles Trask like a storm, driving a wedge between the brothers and casting a shadow that will reach into the next generation. Adam thinks she's an angel sent from heaven; Charles believes she's the devil's daughter. Soon Adam and Cathy are wed, but Adam's dream of a perfect family turns to dust when Cathy abandons him and their twin sons, Caleb and Aaron.
Jackie Price Art Dealer And Tax Loopholes
The boys grow up thinking their mother has died, but the shocking truth will open a chasm between the two brothers and bring past demons back to the surface. Kill Jackie From Friday, October 2nd, Prime Video Jackie Price is living the high life as an art dealer, jetting around the world while taking full advantage of every tax loophole available.
Only one problem: she has to keep a low profile because of her past as a big-time cocaine dealer, during which she made many enemies. When she discovers that a group of hitmen known as the Seven Demons have been hired to bump her off, she decides to do an Uma Thurman and hunt down her would-be assassins one by one. Catherine Zeta-Jones stars in this Tarantino-meets-Guy Ritchie-style thriller series, along with Daniel Ings and Sidse Babett Knudsen.
Carrie Series Updates Cyberbullying And Gore
Carrie From Wednesday, October 7th, Prime Video Stephen King's shocking story of school bullying and paranormal powers spawned a hit horror film starring Sissy Spacek, and in recent years the Duffer brothers paid homage to Carrie via the character of Eleven, in Stranger Things. Now King's debut novel has been turned into a full-length series that promises to bring the story up to date, exploring cyberbullying and toxic social media while sticking firmly to the old-fashioned gore of the original book.
Summer H Howell stars as Carrie, who has to navigate family tragedy and the cruelty of her classmates while discovering her own scary powers of telekinesis. It's a lethal combination that's bound to end in tears - and probably bucketloads of blood.
Small Prophets From Wednesday, October 7th, Apple TV Mackenzie Crook's comedy for the BBC has been renewed for a second season, to air in 2027, so it's handy that Apple TV has bagged the first season of this acclaimed series, to give us a chance to recap on this gentle and surreal suburban drama. Pearce Quigley stars as Michael Sleep, an eccentric type who has never got over the disappearance of his beloved partner, Clea, seven years ago.
When his dad, Brian (Michael Palin), gives him an ancient recipe, he discovers he can conjure up strange water-dwelling creatures in his shed - not sea monkeys but homunculi, magical spirits with the power to predict the future. Crook costars as Gordon, the unlikeable manager of the DIY store where Michael works, with Lauren Patel as Michael's colleague Kacey, with whom he strikes up a friendship.
Treasure Island Reimagining With Hayley Atwell
Treasure Island From Monday, October 12th, Paramount+ Robert Louis Stevenson's maritime romp has stirred the imaginations of many film-makers, and this new six-part reimagining hopes to follow in the wake of Pirates of the Caribbean and strike streaming TV gold, with help from its stars, Hayley Atwell, David Oyelowo and Tom Sweet. Atwell is Bess Hawkins, a tiger mom who has found the legendary map, and sets off with her son, Jim Hawkins (Sweet), on the Hispaniola to find the treasure.
But there's mutiny in the air as the charismatic and ambitious Long John Silver (Oyelowo) puts Jim's loyalties to the test. VisionQuest From Wednesday, October 14th, Disney+ Its name sounds like some corporate motivational programme from the 1980s, but VisionQuest is the third and final series in the trilogy that began with WandaVision and continued with Agatha All Along.
Paul Bettany returns as Vision, the former superhero who is now in hiding, living a quiet life mostly inside his own head, where he communes with a group of AI personas embedded in his brain, one of whom happens to be the notorious Ultron (James Spader), the dude who tried to destroy the multiverse. But it's not long before a bounty is put on Vision, and he has to go on the run, accompanied by a boy named Thomas Shepard, who might actually be Vision's son.
VisionQuest promises more mind-bending Marvel fun, but it will have to be a real brainfryer to match the wacky and wonderfully inventive WandaVision.
