Peacock’s upcoming horror drama, ‘Teacup‘ (formerly known as the untitled Ian McCulloch Project), has just added a stellar force to its lineup – Yvonne Strahovski. The acclaimed actress, known for her compelling performances in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale‘ and ‘Stateless,’ steps into the series regular role of Maggie Chenoweth, bringing her talent not only in front of the camera but also as a producer.
‘Teacup‘ weaves a chilling narrative around a diverse group of individuals in rural Georgia forced to unite against an enigmatic threat to ensure their survival. Drawing inspiration from Robert McCammon’s New York Times bestselling novel, ‘Stinger,’ the series promises to deliver spine-tingling suspense.
Behind the scenes, the production boasts an impressive lineup of creative minds. James Wan, the mastermind behind ‘The Conjuring Universe‘ and ‘Archive 81,’ joins forces with Michael Clear and Rob Hackett as executive producers. Ian McCulloch, known for his work on ‘Yellowstone‘ and ‘Chicago Fire,’ serves as both writer and executive producer.
E.L. Katz, recognized for his contributions to ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor‘ and ‘Channel Zero,’ takes on the role of director and executive producer.
Strahovski’s notable portrayal of Serena Joy Waterford in Hulu’s award-winning ‘The Handmaid’s Tale‘ has earned her acclaim, including an Emmy nomination.
As ‘Teacup‘ marks her foray into the horror genre, her diverse career also includes roles in ‘Scrambled,’ showcased at SXSW Film Festival, and the sci-fi thriller ‘The Tomorrow War‘ alongside Chris Pratt.
With her extensive television credits, including appearances in ‘24: Live Another Day,’ ‘Dexter,’ ‘Chuck,’ and ‘The Astronaut Wives Club,’ Strahovski continues to captivate audiences with her versatility.
Represented by Paradigm, AFA Prime Talent Media, and Gretchen Rush, Strahovski’s involvement in ‘Teacup‘ adds a compelling layer to the much-anticipated horror series. As Peacock expands its original content lineup, ‘Teacup‘ emerges as a promising addition, blending horror, suspense, and Strahovski’s undeniable talent.
