Jane Featherstone and Lucy Dyke of Sister will also executive produce, with Lucy Forbes directing and executive producing. Morgan executive produces via Little Chick. Holly Pullinger will produce.
“’Eric’ is a dark and crazy journey into the heart of 1980’s New York, and the good bad and ugly world of Vincent, a genius puppeteer on one of America’s leading kids TV shows,” Morgan said. “The chance to work with Benedict and the creative team at Sister and Netflix, is irresistible.

She writes both a tense thriller and an intimate portrait of a delusional father searching for his child, shadowed by a monster named Eric.
