Teacup: Complete list of cast and characters in Peacock's new horror TV series

The spooky season is finally here, and so are the first two episodes of Teacup on Peacock. It's a treat for horror and mystery fans to enjoy the creepy time of the year with the latest TV series, loosely adapted from Robert R. McCammon's Stringer. Unlike the author's other suspense and horror books, Stringer is best known for blending fear and humor in the story.

However, viewers will experience a different and exciting narrative in Teacup, as the horror television series does not follow the novel to the letter. The series is produced by Ian McCulloch, known for his work in Chicago Fire, Yellowstone, and other projects.

Teacup takes place on a rural ranch in Georgia. A group of people are trapped inside it and forced to encounter deadly situations. The plot goes beyond horror and blends themes, including suspense and emotional depth.

The characters must ensure their survival, especially at night when they confront spine-chilling forces. The makers have ensured a talented cast of actors who can inject fear into the audience watching Teacup. Read more to explore the cast and characters.

As mentioned above, viewers will find the main cast members of Teacup trapped in the Georgian ranch as they try to escape from the mysterious place. The show's creator mentioned "quiet" moments in the series, which will allow viewers to understand the characters. Ian McCulloch mentioned in the official production notes that:

"There are these moments of quiet. You get to catch your breath and see how these characters interact with one another. It was never meant to be a simple run-and-hide thriller. We want the audience to really care about these characters."

McCulloch wanted the narrative to go beyond a typical thriller where characters spend most of their time escaping the dangers. However, in the Peacock show, viewers will see how these characters connect and relate to each other. Below is the list of characters involved in the series:
