Peacock's upcoming horror series Teacup, set to premiere on October 10, is inspired by Robert McCammon's novel Stinger and focuses on a disparate group of individuals in rural Georgia facing a mysterious threat. The show, produced by James Wan and Ian McCulloch, will consist of eight 30-minute episodes, releasing two episodes weekly until Halloween. Teacup promises to blend horror, mystery, and family drama, emphasizing character development over spectacle, as described by both the cast and creators. Yvonne Strahovski and Scott Speedman lead the cast, which also includes Chaske Spencer and Kathy Baker. The series aims to create an intimate, character-driven narrative while still delivering on horror and thrills, with a teaser showcasing its eerie atmosphere. Both Wan and McCulloch highlighted the importance of focusing on characters and their relationships in this adaptation, setting it apart from typical horror fare.
