‘Terrifier’s’ Lauren LaVera to Star in Darren Bousman’s ‘Monster’!

Things are getting incredibly tense in Peacock horror series “Teacup,” executive produced by James Wan and inspired by Robert McCammon‘s Stinger. Firmly trapped in place by a mysterious force, the disparate group now realizes the threat could be any one of them in an exclusive new clip ahead of this week’s episodes.

The first two episodes of Atomic Monster and UCP’s series “Teacup” premiered on Peacock on Thursday, October 10, followed by two episodes weekly through Halloween.

The series from Atomic Monster, UCP, and showrunner Ian McCulloch (“Yellowstone”) follows a group of people on a ranch who must come together in the face of a mysterious threat in order to survive. As the showrunner previously revealed, don’t expect this series to faithfully adhere to the novel that inspired it.

Scott Speedman (The Strangers), Yvonne Strahovski (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), and Chaske Spencer (“Jessica Jones”, The Twilight Saga), Kathy Baker, Boris McGiver, Caleb Dolden, Emilie Bierre, Luciano Leroux star in “Teacup.”

In the exclusive clip below, the survivors trapped in place realize that the threat- dubbed Assassin- could be any one of them. It’s the precise type of scenario that breeds mistrust and paranoia, which is sure to create new obstacles for their survival. The clip ends with an ominous solution to their problem.

James Wan previously said in a new statement, “After reading Robert McCammon’s book Stinger, the entire team at Atomic Monster felt a spark. The story had all the ingredients for a captivating series and [showrunner] Ian McCulloch had a vision to bring it to life in a fresh way that was both startling and darkly atmospheric, but filled with a rich sense of humanity — often lacking in edgy narratives. Add in our incredibly talented cast led byYvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman andChaske Spencer and fans are in for a true edge-of-your-seat experience.”

Executive producers include James Wan (The Conjuring Universe, Archive 81, M3GAN), Michael Clear (Archive 81, Swamp Thing) and Rob Hackett (Archive 81, I Know What You Did Last Summer) for Atomic Monster, Francisca X. Hu, Kevin Tancharoen.
