Chucky is coming back, and, this time, his story is being told on the small screen. The horror character from Child’s Play is getting a TV series on SyFy and USA Network, where he arrives in a small town and begins his reign of terror. On top of the return of the killer doll, there are other reasons to get excited.

Chucky is bringing back some familiar voices and actors to the franchise. It is also back in the hands of the man who blessed the world with the evil little doll in the first place, and the early word on the series is that it will be exactly what older fans of Child’s Play have been wanting to see for a long time.

10 Don Mancini Is Back In Control

The biggest reason for Child’s Play fans to get excited is that Don Mancini is back in control of the franchise he created. The new Chucky series was announced shortly after the news that there would be a reboot movie, which arrived in 2019.

The Child’s Play reboot received middling reviews, with a 57% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a mixed 64% from critics. That movie changed almost everything about Chucky, and Mancini is back to bring the original version of the character back for fans, ignoring what the reboot attempted to accomplish.

9 Chucky’s Design Is Based On Child’s Play 2

One of the most popular movies in the Child’s Play franchise was the first sequel, Child’s Play 2. This had some of the best kills, and many fans point to that version of Chucky as the best design. That is good news for fans waiting for the 2021 Chucky TV series.

“I made it my mission to steer the franchise back to the tone of Childs Play 2,” Don Mancini said in his Comic-Con International panel for Chucky. This includes the design of the doll itself, so it sounds like Mancini is listening to his fans.

In the 2019 reboot of Child’s Play, a very popular actor took on the voice of Chucky, as Mark Hamill voiced the killer toy for the first time. As much as fans love Hamill, that was not what most old-school Chucky fans wanted to hear.

The good news is that not only is one of Chucky’s original forms coming back, but the original voice of Chucky, Brad Dourif, is returning to the Chucky TV series. With Mancini back in control and Dourif back as the iconic voice of the killer, the gang is back together.

7 Jennifer Tilly Is Returning As Tiffany

On top of Brad Dourif returning, Jennifer Tilly will also be back as Tiffany. This is great news, as, even as the Child’s Play movies got more comedic over time, Tiffany was a fan favorite and was always good for a laugh as she joined in on the kills.

The first trailer only showed Chucky, so it is not clear how Tiffany will play into the movie. Regardless of what form she takes, it will always be fun to see Jennifer Tilly back in the world of Chucky.

6 Chucky Is A Sequel, Not Another Reboot

While Child’s Play in 2019 was a reboot, the 2021 Chucky TV series is a sequel to the original franchise. The Chucky in the SyFy series is still Charles Lee Ray, and he first became the evil doll in the toy store incident from the first movie.

This movie will be a direct sequel to the last franchise Chucky movie, Cult of Chucky, and it will even bring back characters from the past movies, including Jennifer Tilly’s Tiffany and Fiona Dourif’s Nica Pierce. Christine Elise is also returning as Andy’s foster sister, first introduced in Child’s Play 2.

5 Chucky Will Deal With Charles Lee Ray’s Past

The first Child’s Play movie was focused almost entirely on horror, totally absent of the tongue-in-cheek jokes that dominated later movies in the franchise. It all began with a serial killer, Charles Lee Ray, being chased down by the police. As he died, he transferred his spirit into a Good Guy doll.

The news arrived that Chucky would deal with a lot of Charles Lee Ray’s past. While the movie’s present-day sees new kids figuring out how to deal with the doll, it appears that it will intercut that with a look at his childhood, with David Kohlsmith cast as a young Ray.

4 Chucky Is Upping The Age Range

The Child’s Play franchise has almost always dealt with young children getting the Good Guy doll and then running for their lives as it kills everyone around them. There are some younger kids in the new Chucky TV series, but the main ones are now older.

This is great news, as the franchise is played out with children, and now it is time to see how Chucky can influence older kids, as the main character with the doll is a teen.

3 Chucky Is Going To Spread The Evil

Past Child’s Play movies showed that almost no one believed the children when they got the Chucky doll and saw it was alive. This meant that plenty of adults died while in denial, while the kids knew what was really going on. Things look to change here in a big way.

With a teenager holding Chucky, the trailers show that, instead of not believing that the doll is a killer, the adults here will start to believe the teen is the murderer. This adds a nice spin on things, and, while keeping the entire slant that a doll is killing people, it adds the tension of the police hunting down an innocent boy.

2 Chucky Will Be Dark For A TV Show

Don Mancini talked to Bloody Disgusting about the new series, and he had some great news for fans worrying about its TV home. While there was fear of neutering the material for a TV audience, Mancini said that won’t happen, and horror fans should be happy.

“We are going dark, darker than ever before. It’s going to be very creepy,” Mancini said. This is also nice, as the ’90s and 2000s movies were almost entirely divorced from horror.

1 Chucky Will Be On SyFy And USA Network

The best news for fans anticipating Chucky is that everyone should get to see it as long as they have cable or one of the streaming services to watch cable networks. Chucky will have two homes to ensure that as many homes as possible can see it.

The main home for Chucky will be on SyFy, but it will also air on USA Network, which is in even more homes. The premiere date for the show is October 12, 2021, and it will include eight episodes just in time for the Halloween season.
