New horror show Teacup kind of lives up to its name – the eight-part series consists solely of 30-minute episodes, a relative rarity in a world of hour-long drama installments.
"I came up as a playwright long, long ago and the idea not only was always shorter, more economical episodes but to leave them wanting more," showrunner Ian McCulloch says of the show's pace in the new issue of SFX magazine, which features Terrifier 3 on the cover and hits newsstands on October 2. "The idea of the show is to grow these disparate people in kind of a pot of warm water and then turn up the heat."
