A poster and teaser have arrived for the upcoming Chucky TV series and it looks like a proper return to Chucky being gleefully murderous.
In a new interview about the show, creator Don Mancini talked a bit about what we can expect from the show when it hits just before Halloween.
“The main character is a 14-year-old gay boy (Zackary Arthur) who’s bullied and sort of lost after the recent death of his mother,” says Mancini.
“He’s a young artist [making] sculptures with doll parts. He finds Chucky at a yard sale and buys him, but it turns out that he gets much more than he bargained for.” Arthur is joined on the show by young actors Teo Briones, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and Björgvin Arnarson. “One of the things I wanted to do was bring [the franchise] back to its Child’s Play roots and have the protagonists [be] kids. But since, with the first couple of movies, we’d already delved into having little kids I wanted to explore something different, so this time we’re exploring young teenagers.”
I’m looking forward to seeing the return of the original killer doll and getting that on a weekly basis could be a lot of fun… let me know what you all think and stay tuned as a full trailer hits on July 26th – in the meantime, check out the cool teaser below and remember… friends til the end.
In the show, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos after a vintage ‘Good Guy’ doll turns up at a suburban yard sale. Soon, everyone must grapple with a series of horrifying murders that begin to expose the town’s deep hypocrisies and hidden secrets. Meanwhile, friends and foes from Chucky’s past creep back into his world and threaten to expose the truth behind his mysterious origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster.
Chucky stars Zackary Arthur, Lexa Doig and Devon Sawa along with franchise favourites Jennifer Tilly, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise and Brad Dourif returning to voice Chucky.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
