Yvonne Strahovski and Scott Speedman Lose Control as Mysterious Entity Looms in New Eerie “Teacup” Teaser
Showrunner Ian McCulloch called the series a "puzzle-box mystery, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a can’t-but-must look horror story"
Something mysterious is lurking behind the shadows in a small Georgia town.
In a new teaser for the all-new Peacock horror series Teacup, Yvonne Strahovski and Scott Speedman face some daunting threats as they fight to keep their family safe.
The brief teaser sets the stage for a mysterious danger on a ranch, where James (Speedman) and Maggie Chenoweth (Strahovski) and their children live. A gas mask-clad villain poses said threat, though it's unclear exactly what the family is facing as a series of intense but brief clips flash onscreen, showing a scared and high-strung cast.
The teaser concludes with a shot of Strahovski and Speedman's son Arlo (Caleb Dolden) as he lies on the ground with blood smeared on his face and a bloodied hand lands beside him.

Scott Speedman in 'Teacup'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," according to the official logline.
The horror series is based on Robert McCammon's 1988 book, Stinger, but showrunner Ian McCulloch said that the show is "very much its own thing."
