Landing on Netflix today is a new limited series<\/a> that\u2019s set to get everyone talking, not least because of many gripping performances from the cast of Eric<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new Abi Morgan thriller sees Benedict Cumberbatch<\/a> take the lead as puppeteer and children\u2019s show creator Vincent, who is struggling in the wake of his son Edgar\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing about the show, though, is the fact that it puts the big furry blue puppet of Eric front and centre, with Cumberbatch<\/a> himself voicing the enigmatic creature.<\/p>\n

As per the synopsis: \u201cAs Vincent\u2019s progressively destructive behaviour alienates his family, his work colleagues, and the detectives trying to help him, it\u2019s Eric, a delusion of necessity, who becomes his only ally in the pursuit to bring his son home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Running parallel to Edgar\u2019s disappearance is another pivotal storyline of another missing child, both of which Detective Michael Ledroit (McKinley Belcher III) is left to investigate \u2013 but soon suspects that something bigger is afoot.<\/p>\n

The series, which is quite the Trojan horse, uses one story to tell many others, so it\u2019ll be no time before viewers are gripped with the many subplots unfolding in this drama.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, fans of Eric will be wondering who\u2019s who in the cast and where they\u2019ve seen them before. Scroll on to find out more about the cast of Netflix\u2019s Eric.<\/p>\n
