On October 10, Peacock will release the first two episodes of its latest horror series Teacup . The series stars Yvonne Strahovski (“Chuck,” “The Handmaid’s Tale”) and Scott Speedman (“Animal Kingdom,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) , tells a tense and eerie story set on a secluded farm in rural Georgia, where a family must face a mysterious threat while dealing with a personal crisis that precedes the events of the premiere episode.
Although the show has a different name on television, some readers may recognize aspects of the show’s plot from Robert McCammon’s 1988 novel “Stinger.” However, aside from the show’s central premise, few elements would be replicated in the live-action version. In fact, Teacup producer Ian McCulloch describes his adaptation as a stripped-down “acoustic” version of the story, exchanging the novel’s grand plot for a more personal and tense psychological thriller.
To learn more about the emotional core at the heart of the series, SpoilerTV spoke with actors Scott Speedman and Chaske Spencer (The Twilight Saga, “echo”). Speedman plays James Chenoweth, the husband of Strahovski’s Maggie, while Spencer plays Reuben Shanley, a man who finds himself at odds with Speedman’s character. family friends. Watch below for more details.
After the two episodes premiere on October 10, Peacock will release two episodes of “Teacup” every week until the finale on October 31.
