We Are Not in Control.
With nearly two months away until the series premiere of Peacock’s new horror-thriller Teacup, the streaming service has unloaded several goodies to tease the series from James Wan and Ian McCulloch.
During its big unveiling at the San Diego Comic-Con, the series’ creators and cast shared an exclusive sneak peek, a premiere date announcement teaser, a teaser poster, and first-look images.
Today’s update includes the official first teaser of Teacup, a brand new teaser poster, and even more first-look photos, all of these which preview what’s to come in the 8-episode first season.
From modern-day master of horror and the mind behind The Conjuring and Insidious, James Wan’s Atomic Monster produces the series, joined by first-time showrunner Ian McCulloch (Yellowstone).
McCullough called the series a “keyhole epic,” while also admitting that the series is a loose adaptation of the 1988 best selling novel Stinger by Robert McCammon. “It’s the same story through a small lens, grounded spectacle with momentum.”
Teacup stars Yvonne Strahovski (The Handmaid’s Tale), Scott Speedman (Grey’s Anatomy), and Chaske Spencer (The English) and follows a disparate group of people in rural Georgia who must come together in the face of a mysterious threat in order to survive.
Teacup premieres with the first two episodes on Peacock Thursday, October 10, followed by two episodes weekly through Halloween.
