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 on Peacock.
Daily Dead recently had the pleasure of talking with co-stars Scott Speedman and Yvonne Strahovski, who play married couple James and Maggie Chenoweth, about what attracted them to the series, including the family drama fueled by the marital strains between James and Maggie, as well as collaborating with showrunner Ian McCulloch, embracing the physicality of the series, and the joyful distraction of being around baby goats in the show's isolated rural setting.
You can watch our interview with Scott and Yvonne 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!
