Eric Interview: Benedict Cumberbatch & Gaby Hoffmann on Arguments & Puppeteering

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Eric stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffmann about the Netflix series, arguments on-screen, and puppeteering. The six-part thriller drama also stars McKinley Belcher III, Dan Fogler, and Clarke Peters. It begins streaming on May 30.
"Set in 1980s New York, Eric is a new emotional thriller from Abi Morgan following the desperate search of a father when his nine-year-old son disappears one morning on the way to school. 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," says the synopsis for the show. "Full of self-loathing and guilt around Edgar’s disappearance, he clings to his son’s drawings of a blue monster puppet, Eric, convinced that if he can get Eric on TV then Edgar will come home. As Vincent’s progressively destructive behavior 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."
