Peacock’s presentation at San Diego Comic-Con was held earlier today, and they released a teaser trailer for the show.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Peacock‘s forthcoming horror series Teacup revealed its premiere date and frightening first footage — but not too much else — during its panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday.
Executive producers James Wan (Saw, Aquaman) and Ian McCulloch (Yellowstone) and stars Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman and Chaske Spencer took part in the event for the series, and they all remained fairly tight-lipped to avoid giving away too much. Teacup is set to launch with its first two half-hour episodes on Oct. 10, followed by two episodes being released weekly through Halloween.
Hailing from Wan’s banner Atomic Monster, Teacup adapts author Robert McCammon’s book Stinger and centers on a group of individuals in rural Georgia who must put their differences aside to survive a mysterious threat. During the panel, McCulloch explained that the series pared down the sprawling book to make it feel more focused on specific characters.

IGN reports on Peacock’s plans for San Diego Comic-Con later this month, and those plans include a big promotion of Teacup, the upcoming series inspired by Robert McCammon’s Stinger.
Robert McCammon visited the set of Teacup a couple of weeks ago. It’s my understanding that they’re wrapping up filming of the first season. I believe the series will be released for streaming on Peacock sometime in 2025.

Frank Dietz and Greg Nicotero at WonderFest in Louisville yesterday. I got to meet with Greg for a couple of minutes, and I asked about the TV adaptation of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song, which he’s co-producing. Not much to report yet, but he said they have hired a writer, and it would probably be released sometime in 2026. It’s very early days, but he said we’d talk more in the future, so hopefully that’ll happen. 
It was brought to my attention that the audiobook of The Five is available for free to Audible Plus subscribers. That sent me looking, and there are a bunch of McCammon titles that are included with Plus membership:
The Five
I Travel by Night (GraphicAudio)
Last Train from Perdition (GraphicAudio)
The Wolf’s Hour (GraphicAudio — Parts 1 & 2, but not 3)
