Teacup: Where to Watch James Wan's New Mystery Horror Series on Peacock
Loosely based on the sci-fi novel Stinger by Robert McCammon, Teacup is just the thing to celebrate spooky season!
One of the major themes behind Peacock's brand-new horror series, Teacup, is "loss of control," showrunner and executive producer Ian McCulloch states in the production notes. "Whether it be control over if and when you can leave a place, control of your marriage, control of your circumstances, control of yourself," he continues.
As production on the James Wan-produced show began to ramp up, the world was finally seeing the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. COVID wasn't gone, of course, but the restrictions and lockdowns of the global health crisis were easing up at last. "The experience of isolation during lockdown and the loss of agency and control during that time definitely bled into the world of Teacup," McCulloch adds.
An alumnus of high-profile television productions like Yellowstone and Chicago Fire, McCulloch has been intentionally hesitant to reveal any specific plot details about Teacup, even going so far as to refuse an explanation for the show's curious title. Thankfully, we won't have to wait much longer for answers, given that the series bows this week. Head below for more details!

What is Teacup about?
Loosely adapted from the 1988 novel Stinger from bestselling author Robert McCammon, Teacup follows a group of disparate people grappling with a mysterious — and potentially otherworldly — threat on a rural farm in Georgia. The farm in question is owned by the Chenoweth family, led by veterinarian Maggie (Yvonne Strahovski) and high school English teacher James (Scott Speedman). While the two characters are emotionally estranged when the story kicks off, they're ultimately forced to reckon with that interpersonal baggage once they and several of their neighbors become trapped on the property.
