Thankfully the Chucky TV series wrapped up before the coronavirus pandemic shut down sets around the world,! And the killer doll will be making his way to television but not soon enough. Original writer Don Mancini, who has been involved with all of the films in the core series is spearheading the project and has revealed the first teaser for the show online. Confirming the series will premiere in 2021, airing on both SYFY and USA Network.
The new Chucky series is co-developed by Mancini with his series producer David Kirschner and will feature Brad Dourif returning to voice the character.
“With this TV show, our mission has been to preserve the straightforward scariness of the original film or the first couple of films,” said Mancini during an interview “But at the same time, continue on with this ever-expanding tapestry of consistent story that we’ve spun over the course of seven movies and 30-some years. I think fans are really gonna love to see the new characters that we introduce into this realm and just to see how they came off of our classic characters. Not just Chucky, but some of the others that you may be hoping to see."
I wish this would have made it to SYFY in time for Halloween, never the less you can bet it will light up the tube in the Man Cave once it premieres.
Here is the plot so far 'After a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets. Meanwhile, the arrival of enemies and allies from Chucky’s past threatens to expose the truth behind the killings, as well as the demon doll’s untold origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster."
