“Chucky” TV Series Coming To SyFy

A while back we reported that franchise creator Don Mancini had teased that Chucky is coming to TV. EW is now confirming that not only is a series in the works, but it’s also found a home on the Syfy channel. Mancini will be serving as both the writer and executive producer for the series. Longtime franchise producer David Kirschner is on board along with Nick Antosca who worked with Mancini on both “Hannibal” and Syfy’s “Channel Zero”. I’ve long wanted to bring Chucky to television and Syfy is the perfect network for us,” Mancini stated. “The show will be a fresh take on the franchise, allowing us to explore Chucky’s character with a depth that is uniquely afforded by the television series format while staying true to the original vision that has terrorized audiences for over three decades now.” Mancini isn’t the only one who released a statement about his new series. In these troubled times, I believe it’s

Don Mancini Gives Details About Upcoming Child’s Play Series

Back in June, Child’s Play creator Don Mancini, who also wrote and directed most of the franchise, teased the upcoming TV series based on the film featuring Chucky. Mancini recently appeared on the podcast Post Mortem With Mick Garris and revealed a few of the series’ details. Just from having worked on Hannibal and Channel Zero… I saw an opportunity to reinvent the franchise yet again,” Mancini told Garris, whose own directing credits include Psycho IV and the upcoming horror anthology Nightmare Cinema. “One of the things that has kept the franchise alive and thriving for so long is that we’ve reinvented it in different ways, by making it a comedy, and then back to horror. But the sheer storytelling real estate of doing eight to 10 episodes… will allow us to delve into characters and relationships in a way that we’re never afforded in just a 90-minute movie. That’s really exciting to me. We’re going to be able to

‘Child’s Play’ Reboot To Be Extremely Different From What We Know And Love

For a moment we were kind of excited about the upcoming Child’s Play reboot from MGM, that is until we learned just how different the movie will be from what we know and love about the franchise, Brad Dourif, the longtime voice of Chucky, won’t be involved. That’s right, Chucky will be getting a new voice. The changes don’t stop there, allegedly, Chucky will no longer be a serial killer possessed doll, instead, he will be an out of control A.I., according to Bloody Disgusting. Lars Klevberg (Polaroid) has been tapped to direct the reboot based on the script penned by Kung Fury writer Burton Smith. While horror fans are pretty open-minded, I don’t think they’re that open minded. I’ll be honest, the movie might be more successful if they were to rename the bot and break ties to the franchise altogether. Luckily, we will see Universal continue the original franchise. There is currently a “Child’s Play” series in pre-production

Chucky’s Back For New Television Series

Who doesn’t love that psychotic, red-headed, possessed doll, Chucky? Well, the word is we are about to get a lot more of him. As the 30th anniversary of Child’s Play approaches, Comingsoon.com is reporting that franchise creator Don Mancini is bringing Chucky to the small screen for a new series. Mancini said during an interview that he and producer David Kirschner are currently developing a Child’s Play television series that will pick up where the last film left off. He also promised that the series will be “dark and disturbing”. Brad Dourif, the long-time voice of our favorite Good Guy doll turned bad boy, is on board. The eight-episode hour-long series will not be a reboot (thank God), it will be a continuation of Chuck’s story. In the final moments of the last film, Cult of Chucky, Chucky possessed the body of Nica Pierce, played by Fiona Dourif, and escaped the mental institution. She was picked up by Chucky’s long-time
