Something mysterious lurks behind the shadows in a small town in Georgia.
In the new teaser for the brand new Peacock horror series TeacupYvonne Strahovski and Scott Speedman face some terrifying threats as they fight to keep their family safe.
The short teaser sets the stage for a mysterious danger at the ranch, where James (Speedman) and Maggie Chenoweth (Strahovski) and their children live. A gas-masked villain poses said threat, though it’s unclear what exactly the family is facing as a series of intense but brief clips flash across the screen, showing a scared and tense cast.
The teaser ends with a shot of Strahovski and Speedman’s son Arlo (Caleb Dolden) as he lies on the ground with a bloodied face and a bloodied hand falling beside him.
