But just where is the series actually set and where was it filmed?
Read on for everything you need to know about the filming locations used for East of Eden.
Where is East of Eden set?
Writer and showrunner Zoe Kazan told Vanity Fair that she was disappointed not to film in California, explaining that it was a decision made because of cost.
"I felt as if I had been birthed from the soil like a California poppy," Kazan said, as she was born in Los Angeles. "And the budget realities were just such that we just could not have afforded to do it [there]."
Where was East of Eden filmed?
The historic Waitaki District town of Ōamaru served as the production's most heavily featured location, with its 19th-century limestone architecture redressed to pass for turn-of-the-century America. Filming also took in Dunedin, Central Otago and the Maniototo, while Auckland's Devonport and Cheltenham areas hosted additional period sequences.
Ōamaru's Victorian Heritage Precinct provided the main town-street setting, with crews laying gravel and adding period detail, vehicles, horses and extras to hide anything too modern. Harbourside and the Oamaru Steam and Rail railyard were used for harbour and railway scenes, with the historic Oamaru Railway Station also used for filming.
Dunedin and Central Otago
Filming also took place in Dunedin, including the city centre, where locals spotted the production at work. Further inland, Central Otago and the Maniototo provided open country for the story's rural scenes.
