Content Warning: the following article contains discussions of violence
Scheduled to hit Syfy and USA Network on October 12th, the Chucky TV series looks to be straying even further from the series’ original story. To be fair, the Child’s Play series seldom ever followed the traditional road taken by other major slasher series as well, content to make its own name for itself. For example, the first three installments focused not on an adult but on a child.
Eventually, Andy’s efforts to keep his life and take Chucky out (again) were replaced for more complex material in sequels like Curse of Chucky and Cult of Chucky, and it remains to be seen if the television series will follow suit. Although, now that the first season has wrapped production, there is indeed plenty of information that has been revealed that fans can chew on while anticipating the premiere.
7 It Continues The Story Told In Curse Of Chucky And Cult Of Chucky
Cult of Chucky took the series in a new direction by featuring more than one version of the titular character. It allowed the series to up the stakes while still exploring Chucky as a funny horror character. That installment left viewers with the knowledge that Nica (Fiona Dourif, daughter of Chucky voice actor Brad Dourif), was possessed by one of the Chucky dolls. Furthermore, she gets in the car with Tiffany, and not only is Tiffany around, but so is her doll.
How much of the “multiple Chucky” concept the series ends up utilizing remains to be seen. However, judging by the trailer, Nica’s storyline will be further explored. She may not be the protagonist of the narrative this time, but her character will still be expanded.
6 Jennifer Tilly Is Scheduled As Recurring
When Jennifer Tilly’s Tiffany Valentine was brought in to the franchise, it was an injection of some sorely needed life into the series. While this is far more true of Bride of Chucky than it is Seed of Chucky, it’s clear that the series heads have noted her contribution.
She was incorporated into Curse of Chucky, albeit with limited actual screentime. Tilly plays a version of herself that has been possessed by the soul of a villain character that she herself played. The Child’s Play franchise may have gone down some odd paths to get where it is, but the filmmakers always take risks in furthering the story in interesting ways as opposed to stagnating. It seems fair to assume they’ll do the same for Tiffany Valentine in Chucky, considering Tilly is scheduled to make several appearances.
5 Andy And Kyle Are Main Characters
They may not be the main characters, but Alex Vincent and Christine Elise McCarthy are two of the main cast members in Chucky. Should they share the screen (which seems highly likely) it will be the first time since the wildly-underappreciated Child’s Play 2. Considering the third film dumped Kyle without so much as a mention, fans see her return as welcome news.
In fact, outside of Child’s Play 2 (and a post-credits cameo in Cult of Chucky), this will be Kyle’s major return to the franchise. The aforementioned post-credits cameo essentially retconned everything in Child’s Play 3 and established that Andy and Kyle are still very close. Chucky may very well deliver on finally giving fans more of the poignant dynamic between the two foster siblings.
4 Don Mancini Helms The Ship
Franchise creator Don Mancini has remained heavily involved throughout the franchise’s history. Mancini has gone on to write every installment of the franchise. From the early chapters to the odd detour to the series revamp, it’s all been his brainchild.
This isn’t changing with Chucky, which continues the relatively new tradition of Mancini sitting in the director’s chair. He served this role on Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky, and Cult of Chucky. Mancini not only wrote the entire eight-episode first season of Chucky, but he also directed the premiere as well.
3 Horror Icons
This series appears to be taking the straightforward approach as opposed to the self-referential approach that has found itself in much of modern horror. However, while there may not be many references, there’s reverence for the genre, as Chucky will feature a stable of actors who have appeared in various major horror projects over the years.
Recurring star Barbara Alyn Woods has appeared in low-budget features such as Repossessed and Ghoulies IV. Additionally, two other recurring stars have been featured prominently in bigger horror projects. Judging by the trailer, Lexa Doig plays the protagonist’s mother. She also played the lead in the tenth installment of the Friday the 13th franchise, Jason X. Lastly, Devon Sawa appears as a character named Logan Wheeler, and Sawa famously played the lead in the original Final Destination film.
2 It Is Not Related To The Remake
2019’s Child’s Play didn’t make much of an impact in theaters or on the pop culture lexicon, but it’s remarkably solid. Still, no matter how many things Child’s Play (2019) got right, the upcoming TV series does not relate to it. Whether or not that film gets a sequel remains to be seen, though there has been no indication that it will.
Either way, Don Mancini was not involved in that film, and his series will not be continuing the cliffhanger at the end of that movie. It also will not feature Mark Hamill reprising the role of Chucky.
1 Brad Dourif Is Chucky
Brad Dourif will be voicing the pint-sized horror movie villain Chucky yet again. Despite 2019’s reboot trying to shake things up, fans view Dourif as Chucky cold stop. His elastic voice blends in with Chucky’s sadism so organically that it’s irreplaceable. No matter how many of Chucky’s strongest enemies are faced, and no matter how successful they are in stopping him, he always comes back.
And, to be fair, fans couldn’t be any happier about that. The unique character remains compulsively watchable thanks in large part to the snarky personality Dourif gives him. Much like Robert Englund of the A Nightmare on Elm Street series, the titular character and actor are irrevocably blended. Fans have reason to be pleased, as they’ll soon get eight episodes of exploration into the character’s dearth of morality and dismissal of personal growth.
