Inspired by the novel Stinger from legendary author Robert McCammon (Swan Song, They Thirst) and executive produced by James Wan, the new series Teacup is now streaming its first two episodes on Peacock.
Daily Dead recently had the pleasure of talking with co-stars Rob Morgan (who plays the enigmatic McNab) and Chaske Spencer (who plays the ever-resourceful Ruben Shanley) about what attracted them to playing their intriguing characters on the series, working with showrunner Ian McCulloch, and seeing the world premiere of Teacup at Fantastic Fest!
You can watch our interview with Rob and Chaske below, and go here to catch up on all of our coverage of Teacup, which will release two new episodes on Peacock every Thursday through Halloween!
