James Wan's New Peacock Series 'Teacup,' Starring Scott Speedman & Yvonne Strahovski, Releases First Teaser - Watch Now!

James Wan’s new horror series, Teacup, has released its first teaser trailer.

With a plan to release two episodes per week on Peacock starting in October, Teacup is being set up to be a Halloween season classic. That shouldn’t come as a surprise though, considering all of the horror legends that worked on it.

For horror fans, many of the executive producers of Teacup should be familiar names! James Wan is responsible for the iconic The Conjuring franchise and M3GAN. Along with James, there’s also Rob Hackett who is known for his work on I Know What You Did Last Summer and Michael Clear who worked on Swamp Thing and Archive 81.

Teacup stars Yvonne Strahovski, Kathy Baker, Scott Speedman and more! The new show 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 is based on a novel called Stinger by Robert McCammon. Originally, the now showrunner, Ian McCulloch, wasn’t interested in the project when the production company approached him about it.

Ian went on to explain that it simply wasn’t what he liked to do, he preferred “large stories told through small lenses” rather than what he considered to be a “spectacle.” That changed after he read the book though, and now he can confidently say, “The series is now very much its own thing: a puzzle-box mystery, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a can’t-but-must look horror story, a family drama, a science fiction epic—of the keyhole variety, of course. But as singular, strange, and surprising as I hope Teacup is, all you need to do is peel away the layers, characters, situations, and mythology and look behind the thrills, chills, hairpin turns and make-you gasp reveals. Do all that and you’ll see, at its heart, Teacup is still very much standing on the shoulders of Stinger. Just as it should.”

The 30-second teaser goes on to prove his point. From the music choice to the quick and short clips thrown together, it’s already got us on the edge of our seats.

Teacup premieres on October 10 with the first two episodes airing on Peacock. Following the premiere, two new episodes will release weekly with a total of eight in the season.
