The script was written by Morgan with Lucy Forbes directing and Holly Pullinger producing the series. The series was released on 30 May 2024.

Eric is essentially a drama about dealing with the open wound that a missing person (particularly a child) leaves behind. In this respect it is a darkly comic watch because of the juxtaposition of the pain (arguments, anger, profanity, alcoholism) against the child like muppet show style characters.
