Peacock to Launch New Spooky Series in October

Peacock is set to premiere its new sci-fi horror series, Teacup, on October 10, which is loosely adapted from Robert R. McCammon's novel Stinger. Showrunner Ian McCulloch explains that the adaptation diverges significantly from the book due to its vast scope, aiming instead to capture its essence without the extensive cost of a direct adaptation. Additionally, the streaming platform is gearing up for Halloween with a lineup of horror-themed content, including the return of Agatha Harkness in Agatha All Along and the chilling series Hysteria!, which explores the 1980s Satanic panic. Fans can also expect classic films like Casper to make a comeback alongside new original titles for a spooky streaming experience this October. Peacock's offerings this month promise a mix of nostalgia and fresh scares, catering to horror enthusiasts of all kinds.
