As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating eerie landscapes and outwitting terrifying creatures, I can confidently say that Stephen King‘s endorsement of Peacock’s “Teacup” has piqued my interest. The fact that it’s being compared to some of the most iconic horror series like “From” and “Lost” already has me hooked.
Acclaimed horror writer Stephen King shares his brief thoughts on the fresh horror series, “Teacup,” that’s now streaming on Peacock. What are his impressions?
Stephen King, renowned for his chilling horror novels like “IT”, “Carrie” and “The Shining”, is reportedly exploring the latest horror TV series that follows a family confronting various terrors while isolated on their rural farm. As per King, this show could potentially be the standout horror sensation of the Halloween season.
He noted to his audience of horror fans on X that the series is “strange, creepy, claustrophobic, and scary.” Adding it’s “All killer, no filler,” with a tight runtime across its eight-episode story. King also likened the series to other horror and mystery hits like From and Lost, in case potential viewers need a bit of a vibe check before tuning in.
Stephen King’s review of Peacock’s Teacup
If you’re a fan of shows like FROM or LOST, I believe you’ll find TEACUP equally intriguing. It has an unsettling, confined atmosphere that can be quite frightening. Be cautious of the Gas Mask Man. Each episode is brief and packed with action, offering no unnecessary filler content. (TEACUP premieres on Peacock October 10th)

Experiencing the Unseen Tension: My Insight into Teacup from the Perspective of Yvonne Strahovski and Scott Speedman
The story essentially follows a family and disparate group of neighbors who become trapped in rural Georgia, unable to cross a mysterious blue line, trapped inside with plenty of very real threats. The ensemble cast includes Yvonne Strahovski (The Tomorrow War, The Handmaid’s Tale), Scott Speedman (Animal Kingdom), Chaske Spencer (The English), Kathy Baker (Edward Scissorhands), Boris McGiver (Servant), Caleb Dolden (Follow Me), Emilie Bierre (Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent) and Luciano Leroux (Yellowjackets).
During a chat with SYFY WIRE on the set of Teacup, Speedman compared the show’s atmosphere to a blend of “sci-fi and Western,” as the storyline involves characters being compelled to rely on horseback for transportation after an incident leaves them stranded and cut off from modern technology.
Speaking about it, Speedman expressed his excitement. He felt that Ian’s take on the project, a mix of sci-fi and Western genres, was similar to how he envisioned it. This sparked his interest. As he delved into the script, he found it a fascinating fusion of family drama (which Ian handles exceptionally) and well-crafted genre elements. To him, this combination promised something truly unique.
