From creator and writer Abi Morgan, the Netflix series Eric follows the downward spiral of a father struggling to cope with the loss of his son. Vincent is the creator of the highly popular children’s television show Good Day Sunshine, where he focuses all his attention. When his nine-year-old son disappears on his way to school, Vincent’s guilt convinces him that if he can just get his son’s drawing of a blue monster puppet named Eric onto TV, then his son will come home.
Eric TV-MA A compelling drama that follows Vincent, a father tormented by the disappearance of his young son, Edgar, in 1980s New York City. As Vincent delves into the chaotic urban landscape to find his boy, he becomes increasingly dependent on Eric, a puppet he created, to cope with his despair. Eric transforms from a mere puppet into a significant presence in Vincent's life, helping him navigate the complexities of his emotions and the challenges he faces.

He really seems like a character that could only exist within this being a TV series because if this were a movie, he would be the first character that you would lose all of that personal information about. How hard do you think it really is for him to follow through on this case and to see it through to the end? What do you think it is that gives him the courage to keep pushing forward and following his instincts when he’s really up against everything, all the time?
MORGAN: The mechanics of a thriller has its own engine, and these were two key players in that thriller. It always became about six degrees of separation, so even if they weren’t together physically, they were often psychically together in their journeys, or they were connected by a key character. Cassie was an incredibly important role, played by the brilliant Gaby Hoffmann, who was this amazing brokerage between the disappeared Vincent that you see in the later episodes and Ledroit.
