Jason X and “Arrow” actress Lexa Doig has now joined the ever-growing cast for Don Mancini‘s upcoming Syfy/USA series “Chucky.”
Doig is playing a character named Bree Webber, who is married to Logan (Devon Sawa) and is the aunt of Jake Webber (Zackary Arthur), one of the teenage leads. The character is described as being “held to an unrealistic standard — by her husband and herself, which leads her to keep a dark secret from her family.”
Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Jennifer Tilly are reprising their roles in the series from franchise creator Don Mancini and Nick Antosca (“Channel Zero”). Teo Briones (Ratched), Bjorgvin Arnarson (PEN15), and Alyvia Alyn Lind (The Young and the Restless) will play the series’ young leads along with Zackary Arthur.
In the 10-episode first season, “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.”
