‘Teacup’ Canceled At Peacock After One Season

The horror-thriller series Teacup has been axed by Peacock after just one season, according to Variety.

The series was inspired by Robert McCammon’s novel Stinger and received a straight-to-series order in 2022. It made its debut on NBCUniversal’s streaming platform in October 2024.

The storyline revolved around “a diverse group of individuals in rural Georgia who must band together to confront a mysterious threat and survive.” The cast included Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman, Chaske Spencer, Kathy Baker, Boris McGiver, Caleb Dolden, Emilie Bierre, and Luciano Leroux.

Ian McCulloch was both the writer and executive producer of the series, with James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett as executive producers under the Atomic Monster banner. Other executive producers were Francisca X. Hu, Kevin Tancharoen, and Robert McCammon. The first two episodes were directed and executive produced by E.L. Katz, while Tancharoen directed the final two. The series was produced by UCP.

Teacup received mixed-to-positive reviews upon its debut, securing a 70% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, in his Decider review, Johnny Loftus says “Teacup is already working confidently with one of the horror genre’s perennially best assets: when a newfound sense of dread and harm that seems to consume everything in its path is so powerful, it has the ability to hoover up the regular, everyday dread that was already there.”

Peacock has not disclosed specific viewership numbers for the show, but it did not break into Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming charts, suggesting it struggled to gain significant traction with audiences.

Despite Teacup’s cancellation, Atomic Monster continues its partnership with Peacock. The production company is currently working on an untitled espionage series starring Simu Liu, known for his breakout role in Shang-Chi. That project was greenlit in early 2024 and is now in production.
