Last October, Peacock roared into terror TV with horror master John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams, a true horror series featuring detailed encounters with actual slashers, psychos, demons and ghosts that terrorize the nation’s neighborhoods, as told by the everyday people who survived them.
This Fall, Peacock continues is theme of small-town unease, disruption and all-out murderous mayhem. On October 10th & 18th, Peacock releases, TEACUP and HYSTERIA!.
Trapped on a farm in rural Georgia, a group of neighbors must put aside their differences and unite in the face of a mysterious and deadly threat.
The series begins with the Chenoweth, Shanley and Kelly families caught in the tempest of something severely wrong in their close yet not nearly close-knit town. Anytime you have an rural anything in horror, it’s bound to be hellish, isolating and downright uncomfortable. Pile on the residents already having a mass of differences and you’ve got a boiling point for disaster.
Written and Directed by Ian McCulloch and Produced by James Wan, you know the tension and dread are gonna ramp up quick.
Starring: Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman, Chaske Spencer, Kathy Baker, Boris McGiver, Caleb Dolden, Émilie Bierre and

Live in a small town, die in a small town? Well we hope not. But the sheer panic of Peacock’s next horror show installment pulls it’s story engine straight out of the Satanic Panic of the 80’s .
HYSTERIA! Is set during the 1980s Satanic panic, a lovely time for misinformation and fervent finger-pointing, the disappearance of a beloved varsity quarterback sparks rumors of occult influence throughout the town. Sensing the opportunity, Dylan Campbell (Emjay Anthony), Jordy (Chiara Aurelia), and Spud (Kezii Curtis)—three outcasts in the struggling heavy metal band Dethkrunch—rebrand themselves as a Satanic metal group to capitalize on the town’s hysteria. Their new identity quickly turns them into the prime targets of a witch hunt, as the town’s paranoia escalates and the trio finds themselves in deeper danger than they’d hoped.
Apparently, there is such thing as bad press!
Written and produced by Matthew Scott Kane and David A. Goodman hope that this crosses a current generational gap in the awkwardness of parenting during fervent times.
Starring: Julie Bowen, Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis, Nikki Hahn, Bruce Campbell, Nolan North and Garret Dillahunt
