Benedict Cumberbatch Is a Puppeteer Whose Son Disappears in Netflix’s ‘Eric’ Trailer


Benedict Cumberbatch stars as a puppeteer dealing with the disappearance of his son in the Netflix series "Eric."

The series logline from Netflix reads: “Vincent, one of New York’s leading puppeteers and creator of the hugely popular children’s television show, ‘Good Day Sunshine,’ struggles to cope with the loss of his son, Edgar, becoming increasingly distressed and volatile. As Vincent’s progressively destructive behaviour alienates his family, his work colleagues, and the detectives trying to help him, it’s Eric, a delusion of necessity, who becomes his only ally in the pursuit to bring his son home.” “Eric” is produced by Sister and was created and written by Abi Morgan, the Welsh playwright whose screen credits include the British television series “Sex Traffic” and “The Hour,” as well as films like “Suffragette,” “The Iron Lady” and “Shame.”
