Abi Morgan is interviewed for Netflix's Eric, on the red carpet of the UK Premiere. The six-episode series was created and written by Abi Morgan, Lucy Forbes directs a cast of Benedict Cumberbatch, Gaby Hoffman, McKinley Belcher III, Dan Fogler, Clarke Peters.

Colin Hart and Scott Davis were on the red carpet.

Plot: 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.

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 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.

The series premieres on May 30th.
