Teacup on Peacock: Release date, cast, and more to know about the horror drama

BBG News

As a seasoned horror enthusiast who’s seen more than my fair share of slashers, ghost stories, and supernatural thrillers, I can confidently say that Peacock’s upcoming series, Teacup, has piqued my interest like a creaky door in the dead of night. The short synopsis, the eerie trailer, and the talented cast have me on the edge of my seat (or rather, couch) in anticipation.

The peacock is joining the spooky spirit of Halloween with its upcoming chilling series titled “Teacup.” Just as autumn arrives, we eagerly anticipate the return of fall TV on our broadcast networks. However, this season also marks the beginning of when networks and streaming platforms unveil their scarier shows, particularly in October. This is one such series that promises a thrilling horror drama before its release!

When does Teacup come out?

On Thursday, October 10, 2024, the series titled “Teacup” makes its debut on Peacock, with the first two episodes airing simultaneously. What sets this horror drama apart is that each episode runs for just 30 minutes, which is not commonly seen in this genre. Every week, a pair of new episodes will be added to the season’s 8-episode run. You can find the release schedule details below:

  • Episode 1 – Oct. 10
  • Episode 2 – Oct. 10
  • Episode 3 – Oct. 17
  • Episode 4 – Oct. 17
  • Episode 5 – Oct. 24
  • Episode 6 – Oct. 24
  • Episode 7 – Oct. 31
  • Episode 8 – Oct. 31

I find it thrilling that the last two episodes of this series will air on Halloween, with plenty of chilling shows premiering from late September through October. As a horror enthusiast, I can’t wait to enjoy the spooky programming lineup!

What is the horror show about?

The peacock, in terms of its upcoming production, Teacup, isn’t giving much detail away. A brief summary and trailer offer a glimpse, but not the full picture. The series is an adaptation from the book, Stinger, penned by Robert McCammon. Have a look at the description and video provided below!

Teacup follows a disparate group of people in rural Georgia who must come together in the face of a mysterious threat in order to survive.

From the preview, it appears that the show seems to incorporate standard horror tropes. A young protagonist who stumbles upon something amiss sets the stage, followed by startling surprises and potentially a mysterious supernatural entity causing havoc among the family and townspeople. It’s certainly sparked my curiosity!

Who stars in the Peacock series?

The Peacock series boasts a captivating ensemble taking center stage, featuring Yvonne Strahovski and Scott Speedman. Notably, Strahovski is renowned for portraying Sarah Walker in Chuck, Hannah McKay in Dexter, and Serena Waterford in The Handmaid’s Tale. Meanwhile, Speedman gained recognition as Ben Covington in Felicity and Dr. Nick Marsh in Grey’s Anatomy. To learn more about the entire cast lineup, please refer to the list provided below:
