Yvonne Strahovski as Maggie looking worried and a mysterious figure in a gas mask in Teacup
Peacock is looking to get in on the small-town horror genre with the official Teacup trailer. The show, created by Yellowstone alum Ian McCulloch, is loosely inspired by Robert McCammon's 1988 novel Stinger, exploring a group of people in rural Georgia who find themselves trapped when a mysterious threat pushes them into a state of paranoia as they try to determine how to survive.
In addition to the trailer, both McCulloch and Wan wrote full letters sharing insight into their approach to adapting Stinger to the screen in Teacup. The former admits to being reluctant when Wan's Atomic Monster approached him to develop the adaptation, as he's"not a spectacle writer" and didn't initially connect to the idea until he read the novel:
What if I adapted Stinger in a way that honors the book and stays true to the kinds of stories I like to tell? Keep the conceit. Keep Stinger’s most effective elements. Take away the large ensemble. Take away the giant set pieces. Even take away the book’s crowded town setting. The adaptation would be like an acoustic guitar version of, say, a Radiohead song.
Wan's letter opens with the recollection of how he and"the entire team at Atomic Monster felt a spark" upon reading McCammon's source novel, believing that "the story had all the ingredients for a captivating series" and praising McCulloch's approach, as it"defies easy labels": McCulloch's approach to Teacup may actually work out in its favor should he have a multi-season plan for the project
Though Wayward Pines only ran for two seasons before being cancelled, From continues to be a hit for MGM+, thanks in part to Stephen King's frequent support on social media for the horror show. As such, McCulloch's approach to Teacup may actually work out in its favor should he have a multi-season plan for the project, and it proves as chilling as its genre companions.
