Benedict Cumberbatch’s relationship with Netflix is definitely budding, and after the success of his work with Wes Anderson, Netflix wasted no time in creating another compelling series with Cumberbatch, resulting in “Eric.”
Let’s delve into the premise of the show:
Benedict Cumberbatch portrays Vincent, a renowned New York puppeteer, in the captivating series “Eric.” When his son vanishes, Vincent spirals into despair, clinging to hope through his son’s puppet, Eric.
Set in 1980s New York, the series delves into Vincent’s desperate quest to reunite with his son, alienating those around him in the process. With a promising storyline, “Eric” explores themes of delusion, despair, and determination in the face of adversity.
Morgan, Cumberbatch, Featherstone, Dyke, and Forbes are executive producers on Eric, with Forbes also serving as director. Holly Pullinger produces the series, which was filmed in New York and Budapest.
Now, as we build hype for the show, we have another piece of news to share: Netflix just announced the release date.
The show, starring Gaby Hoffmann and McKinley Belcher III alongside Cumberbatch, will now stream on Netflix starting May 30th. As of now, it is generating enough traction online and could be a valuable asset moving forward.
