“We are not in control.” Peacock has revealed the first look teaser trailer for an intriguing new series called Teacup, a sci-fi horror apocalyptic survival series arriving for streaming soon. Trapped on a farm in rural Georgia, a group of neighbors must put aside their differences to unite in the face of a mysterious, deadly threat. Set for a release starting in October – just in time for horror season, of course. Executive produced by James Wan, he explains: “Teacup defies easy labels… It’s a genre-bending blend of horror, mystery, and drama, with layers that unfold like a captivating puzzle.” The original novel it’s “inspired by” titled “Stinger” takes place over the course of a single day in a town called Inferno, TX. It’s visited by two different UFOs – one of which contains an extraterrestrial hunter known only as “Stinger”. So it’s a battle between two aliens and humans are caught in the middle of it all? But it seems the series is a bit different. Starring Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman, Kathy Baker, Caleb Dolden, Emilie Bierre, Chaske Spencer, Boris McGiver, and Luciano Leroux. This is a chilling teaser that plays up the atmospheric dread of the story.
