Based on Robert McCammon‘s Stinger, the upcoming Peacock series “Teacup” will be produced by James Wan, and Deadline reports that Scott Speedman (The Strangers) has joined the recently announced Yvonne Strahovski (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) in the series.
Speedman and Strahovski will be the leads of the series. Deadline notes, “Speedman will play James Chenoweth opposite Strahovski’s character Maggie Chenoweth.”
The series from Atomic Monster, UCP, and Ian McCulloch (“Yellowstone”) follows a disparate group of people on a ranch who must come together in the face of a mysterious threat.
Stinger takes place during a single twenty-four-hour period in Inferno, Texas. Inferno is a town in trouble, driven to the brink by racial tension, gang violence, and a collapsing economy. But things can always get worse, and they do so with astonishing speed.

NBC sees a bright future for Found and The Irrational.
TV Fanatic can confirm that both series have been renewed following decent ratings on the network.
While other networks have buckled under the pressure without much original programming this season due to the strikes, NBC's decision to hold these two dramas for the fall is paying off... big time.
The Irrational kicked off in September and stars Jesse L. Martin (The Flash) as Professor Alec Mercer, who uses his skills in human behavior to help cops solve cases.

NBC is sticking with Found and The Irrational.
The network has renewed both first-year dramas — one of just a handful of original scripted series to air on a broadcast network this fall — for second seasons. Both shows were developed off-cycle at NBC and thus had a full complement of episodes in the can before strikes by writers and actors led to dozens of productions shutting down in the summer and early fall.
The two series have also performed solidly for NBC: The Irrational, starring Jesse L. Martin, is averaging 6.34 million viewers per episode after seven days of linear viewing, while the Shanola Hampton-led Found clocks in at 5.18 million viewers (not including streaming for either show). They are also the top two broadcast series of the season so far among Black viewers, with Found ranking first.

NBC is making some early renewals.
The network has renewed both of its first-year drama series, Found and The Irrational for second seasons.
The fact that both shows had episodes filmed prior to the start of the broadcast season was a boon for NBC, allowing it to air new scripted series as many of its rivals pivoted to reality series and licensed programming as a result of the dual strikes.
The Irrational has aired seven episodes of its first season and has four more to go starting on Monday January 29 at 10pm. It is currently back in production on those episodes.
Found has currently aired nine episodes with two more to air before the end of the year. It will return on January 9 for its final two episodes of the season and has already finished production on those.
Both series have performed well for NBC as well as Peacock; Found...

For a show about why people make bad decisions, NBC has made the best one by bringing Jesse L. Martin back to the network. Having just wrapped his run as The Flash’s dutiful father figure Det. Joe West, the fan favorite who spent nine seasons as Law & Order’s NYPD detective Ed Green is returning to the procedural game, and the crafty new drama The Irrational finally lets Martin shine as a leading man. He “is such a talented actor and exudes an easy charm,” raves NBC’s president of scripted content Lisa Katz. “We have always wanted to bring Jesse back to NBC and were just waiting for the right vehicle and the right time.” “It feels really great to be back on NBC after all these years,” the chronically good-natured Martin said while filming behind-the-scenes content for the crime thriller, before the actors’ strike. “And the...

Betty Gilpin turned to her actor dad, Jack Gilpin, for help when she was preparing for her new Peacock series “Mrs. Davis.”
“He introduced me to three nuns,” Betty told me at the show’s premiere Thursday night in Los Angeles.
Papa Gilpin is not only a veteran actor (he currently plays Church the Butler on HBO’s “The Gilded Age“), but he’s also an Episcopalian priest. “He did connect me with nuns to talk to,” Betty said. “They are these incredible feminist warriors in their own right.”
Have the sisters seen the show? “I’d be interested to know what they think about it, but I don’t think they have Peacock,” Betty said, laughing.

The One Chicago franchise isn’t going anywhere. NBC has renewed Chicago Fire (for Season 12), Chicago P.D. (for Season 11), and Chicago Med (for Season 9).

NBC is parting ways with Ordinary Joe.
Deadline is reporting the network made the decision Friday to cancel the primetime drama after just one season.
The series drew decent reviews, but it failed to make a lasting impression on viewers.
Despite decent initial ratings, the numbers dropped as the season progressed, and it ultimately averaged 2.3 million viewers and a 0.3 rating across 13 episodes.
Out of the 17 scripted series on NBC, it ranked 15th, meaning that a cancellation was likely.
"Life is all about the choices you make — and sometimes what you do in a single moment can change everything,” reads the official synopsis.
James Wolk’s character Joe “faces one of these decisions at his college graduation."
"The three parallel stories that diverge from that night find Joe and the people around him with different careers, relationships and family lives, showing the unexpected ways that things change — and stay the same.

The live-action adaptation of the video game “Twisted Metal,” which will star Anthony Mackie, has landed at Peacock, the streamer announced Monday.
The half-hour live-action comedy series based on the PlayStation game series follows a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.
