New horror series Teacup may be based on popular '80s novel Stinger by Robert R. McCammon, but showrunner Ian McCulloch says that his show onl🉐y rea🦩lly adapts "the spirit" of the book and is otherwise its own beast. 

"I think that if I had read the book as a teenager when it came out, I might have felt a little more beholden to it," McCulloch tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Terrifier 3 on the cover and hits newsstands on October 2. "This is a very differen🐷t kind of adaptation in that it’s really the spirit of the thing an🐬d the ideas, and not much else."

While the plot of Stinger didn’t do much for McCulloch, the tension that develops from this very personal cat-♋and-mouse dynamic with otherworldly elements did. The series centers around a multigenerational family living on an isolated ranch, who are forced together when they come up against a mysterious threat.

The cast includes The Handmaid's Tale's Yvonne Strahovski, Grey's Anatomy's ✨Scott Speedman, and The English's Chaske Spencer.
