Stephen King shares his praise for the upcoming horror seriesTeacup,comparing it toLostand the MGM+ seriesFrom. Debuting in just a matter of weeks, theTeacuptrailerpreviewed the James Wan-produced show that teases a terrifying mystery. Although the story seems to begin on a sunny note, it’s not too long before the sinister twists begin to cut through the perfect exterior.
Ahead ofTeacup’s debut on Peacock, with the first two episodes releasing on October 10,Kinghas posted a glowing endorsement of the series on X/Twitter. The legendary author has shared his support for various series, being one of the early supporters ofFromwhich has since become a relatively breakout hit.King calls the show “strange, creepy, claustrophobic, and scary”, comparing it to the seminal mystery dramaLostandFromas well.
What To Know About Teacup
It’s Based On A Best-Selling Novel
The official synopsis for theeight-episodeTeacupadaptationdoes not reveal too much about the Peacock series. It mentions a group of people having to come together to survive, echoing the plots ofLostandFrom. But it isinspired by the 1988 novelStingerfrom author Robert McCammon. The book follows a creature, described as an evil beyond comprehension. The synopsis reads:“A disparate group of people in rural Georgia must come together in the face of a mysterious threat to survive.”
James Wan’s Upcoming Horror Adaptation Is The Thing Sequel I’ve Longed To See
James Wan is producing an upcoming TV adaptation of a cult horror novel, and I think it could be The Thing sequel I’ve waited years to see.
The series is led byThe Handmaid’s Talestar Yvonne Strahovski andGrey’s Anatomyactor Scott Speedman, with the cast also including Chaske Spencer, Kathy Baker, Boris McGiver, Caleb Dolden, Emilie Bierre and Luciano Leroux. Behind the camera,YellowstoneandChicago Firewriter Ian McCulloch serves as showrunner and executive producer alongsideJames Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster, in addition to Francisca X. Hu and Kevin Tancharoen for Universal’s UCP.
Our Take On Teacup
It’s Perfect For Halloween
The best thing thatTeacuphas going for it as of now is that it’s fairly bite-sized.Teacupconsists of eighthalf-hour episodes, with two episodes released weekly and the finale dropping on Halloween.At just two episodes a week, with each being roughly 30 minutes, audiences should be able to decide fairly quickly if the show is one they’d like to sample. But given the involvement of Wan, who has made a name for himself in horror, including recent favorites likeMalignant, and King’s endorsement, it might be the perfect horror series.
