Teacup may be an adaptation of Robert R. McCammon’s novel Stinger, but the show should have plenty new to offer fans of the book, with producer Ian McCulloch teasing "the series is now very much its own thing: a puzzle-box mystery, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a can’t-but-must look horror story, a family drama, a science fiction epic."

While much of what to expect is being kept under wraps for now, master of horror Stephen King, has compared the show to From and Lost, praising it for being "strange, creepy, claustrophobic and scary." It sounds like perfect spooky season viewing, and James Wan almost always delivers chills.

With one of horror’s best directors on board and praise from the king of the genre, this looks to be a creepy Halloween treat. So read on for how to watch Teacup online, from anywhere and potentially for FREE.
