Chucky go back to the screens. The diabolical doll of the cinema will once again take center stage in a television adaptation. His first teaser, which you can see at the top of this piece, leaves part of the sensations of the license. The young man who buys it in a street vendor does not know what awaits him: he has awakened the evil within him. The series is scheduled to premiere next October 12 in the United States.
Chucky: The Ruthless Killer Returns
Don Mancini, who was part of the script for the original film, will be the director of a series that will try to return to the origins of the brand. The protagonist, played by Zackary Arthur, is a 14-year-old boy who “makes sculptures with doll parts.” “He finds Chucky at a street sale and buys him, but realizes that he has bought a lot more than he thought,” says Mancini.
The cast includes names such as Teo Briones, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Björgvin Arnarson, Lexa Doig and Devon Sawa. We can also expect the participation of Brad Dourif, who will voice Chucky. Other chosen faces are Jennifer Tilly, Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent and Christine Elise.
“One of the things that we are most proud of, and that I think makes the series unique, is that we have maintained a relatively narrative consistency and coherence over 33 years, 7 films and now 8 episodes ”, reveals its director. “I think it’s one of the things our fans like the most about the series. I ended Cult of Chucky with a series of deliberate cliffhangers because I knew that a television series would be the ideal place to develop those ramifications. “
Mancini concludes by promising “More seasons” if the series turns out to be a hit with the audience. We will find out this October.
