Revival
One and a half years after the cancellation of Eric and Claire, the creator of E&C, Craig McCracken, was thinking about making it have at least ONE more season. However, unlike the previous six seasons, it would be more darker and mature, and will have less humor. It will be way darker than Samurai Jack Season 5 and Velocity: The Dark Human Slayer Season 5, and will air on TNT. The new season is rated TV-MA. He also states that the revival would dig deeper into the past. However, even though it's a revival, it is considered non-canon since Claire already chose to stay with Eric and the others along with her ghost parents. He said it was supposed to be an alternate reality season where Claire never returned until 5 years later.

Critical response
This show has received generally favorable reviews from critics, while highly positive from viewers and fans alike. It received an 8.1/10 on IMDB, an 83 on Metacritic, and 3 out of 5 stars on Common Sense Media.

Trivia

 * Eric and Claire takes place in a fictional city of Strangon, Ohio.
 * Technically, the only people besides Eric that know that Claire's actually a ghost is Brandon, Michael, Llamy the Llama, Madame Freakshow, George Duck, The S.N.D. Gang, the baby from Eric, Claire, and Some Baby, and every supernatural creature living in Carnival Paranormal. Melissa later ends up finding out in The Kiss Fairy. Emily did saw Claire as a ghost in "Carnival Paranormal" before Claire threw her into a tree, knocking her out and making her forget about it.
 * Madame Freakshow is claimed as Eric and Claire's arch enemy starting from "Carnival Paranormal", However, Madame Freakshow appears in Claire (Part 1) as a shadow as an easter egg. Also, she is more of an ally in Season 6.
 * Darren Criss is a special guest star for his portrayal of The Music Monster from "High School Not-So Musical".
 * About a month later, another special guest star, "Weird Al" Vankovic, appeared to portray Tiny.
 * There were rumors on the internet that unlike Season 1, Season 2 will become more gruesome, horrorific and graphic, so much compared to a horror film, that it'll move from Cartoon Network to Adult Swim with TV-14 (or even TV-MA) episodes. However, the creator responded to the rumor saying it's false.
 * It's revealed that 3 people like Pony Tailz: Eric, Zach, and Musical Monster.
 * Goodhi is a parody of Gandhi.
 * Dolofonia in Ms. Dolofonia's name is actually Greek for "Murder".
 * The show was originally going to be rated TV-Y7-FV, but this was scrapped due to the dark themes.
 * The another reason for the rating change is due to Cartoon Network finding a TV-Y7 rated scary show "extremely pointless" (even though Courage had that rating) and thought a TV-PG rating was better.
