James Wan is government producing Teacup by means of his firm Atomic Monster, alongside Michael Clear and Rob Hackett. Yellowstone consulting producer Ian McCulloch is a author and government producer on the present. Other government producers embrace McCammon, Francisca X. Hu, Kevin Tancharoen, and E.L. Katz, who directed the first two episodes. Danielle Bozzone is overseeing the undertaking for Atomic Monster. The present is coming our means from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.

McCulloch supplied the following assertion: “When Atomic Monster first approached me about creating a series adaptation of Robert McCammon’s Stinger—a no-holds-barred, gargantuan spectacle of a novel alongside the traces of The Stand, Independence Day and Mars Attacks—to be trustworthy, I didn’t wish to throw my hat in the ring. I’m not a spectacle author. I’m a less-is-more author. I gravitate extra towards what are referred to as keyhole epics. Large tales informed by means of small lenses. Think Signs, The Thing, A Quiet Place. But right here’s the factor. I learn Stinger and it stayed with me. Wouldn’t depart me alone. I simply couldn’t cease occupied with its razor-sharp premise, the way it unfolds over the course of a single harrowing day, and about the relatable and actual household McCammon places middle stage. That’s when the flash bang-light bulb concept hit… What if I tailored Stinger in a means that honors the guide and stays true to the sorts of tales I like to inform? Keep the conceit. Keep Stinger’s only parts. Take away the giant ensemble. Take away the large set items. Even take away the guide’s crowded city setting. The adaptation could be like an acoustic guitar model of, say, a Radiohead track. It received’t have the manufacturing worth, digital devices, loops, or synthesized bells and whistles however it should nonetheless have the melody, the construction, the lyrics, the actual magic at the core, all the stuff that makes a nice track a nice track. All of which is to say I might instantly see precisely what to do and how you can do it. Two weeks later, Atomic Monster had the script for the first episode. Soon after that, Peacock purchased it. Not so lengthy after that, each my inventive and profession desires truly began coming true as extra scripts have been written, hires made, actors forged, units constructed, and manufacturing started… Of course, throughout manufacturing the series modified and developed. Just because it ought to. Even the title’s completely different. Stinger is now Teacup. The causes for this are too spoilery to share however watch the first few episodes and all might be revealed. Point being, the series is now very a lot its personal factor: a puzzle-box thriller, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a can’t-but-must look horror story, a household drama, a science fiction epic—of the keyhole selection, in fact. But as singular, unusual, and stunning as I hope Teacup is, all it’s good to do is peel away the layers, characters, conditions, and mythology and look behind the thrills, chills, hairpin turns and make-you gasp reveals. Do all that and also you’ll see, at its coronary heart, Teacup continues to be very a lot standing on the shoulders of Stinger. Just because it ought to.“

Wan added: “After studying Robert McCammon’s guide Stinger, the whole group at Atomic Monster felt a spark. The story had all the substances for a charming series and Ian McCulloch had a imaginative and prescient to carry it to life in a contemporary means that was each startling and darkly atmospheric, however full of a wealthy sense of humanity — usually missing in edgy narratives. Add in our extremely gifted forged led by Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman and Chaske Spencer and followers are in for a true edge-of-your-seat expertise. Teacup defies straightforward labels. It’s a genre-bending mix of horror, thriller, and drama, with layers that unfold like a charming puzzle. It goes past chills and thrills and holds up a mirror to humanity, exploring the darkness that resides inside us all. We hope you take pleasure in this wild journey as a lot as we’ve beloved creating it!“
