The novel Stinger unfolds in a Texas town over the course of a single day, highlighting issues such as gang violence, racial tensions, and poverty. These existing problems in the town are exacerbated when two UFOs crash on the town's outskirts, with the second UFO bringing an alien named Stinger. Amidst their internal struggles, the town must now confront this external threat as Stinger possesses advanced technology and destructive powers.
The specific storyline of Teacup has not been officially disclosed, but it is set to shift from Texas to rural Georgia. Described as a horror-thriller, the narrative will revolve around a group of individuals striving to survive against an external menace. While it is uncertain whether the story will adhere to the 24-hour timeframe like the book, it is likely that Teacup will expand on this concept and transform Stinger into a full-fledged TV series.
Wan, known for his work on Saw and The Conjuring, will be the executive producer of the series. Co-producing alongside Wan is E.L. Katz from The Haunting of Bly Manor, who is also set to direct the series. Ian McCulloch, a writer from Yellowstone, will be responsible for writing the script for Teacup.
