A man wearing a gas mask in Peacock's Teacup
Out of all the TV shows dropping this year, few might be more highly-anticipated among horror fans like Teacup. The Peacock original series from creator, writer, and executive producer Ian McCulloch and produced by James Wan's Atomic Monster has already earned high praise from the likes of Stephen King, who teased viewers earlier this month with his rave review on X.
"That's not what I do," McCulloch admitted."I said, 'Well, what if we made it a minimalist? If we take everything out of it, does the idea still hold up?' It's like when you take a big song, and then they do an acoustic version. If it's still good, it's a good song.
"It's not a town," McCulloch emphasized."These are neighbors. There's three, all told, four families involved in the first season." But the people who are living in close quarters with each other don't exactly have the best relationships ."They're not the closest neighbors," McCulloch told us."Some people know each other, some people don't really know each other, but...
For Speedman, who was first introduced to McCulloch through Taylor Sheridan, the initial intention had been to collaborate on a film together, which never panned out in the wake of the pandemic.

"It's pretty fraught," Speedman added, when speaking about his character's relationships,"and they have to work together to try to deal with this malevolent force. But then their relationship, with the stress, comes up, and they have to deal with things that have happened and the sins that have taken place.
