Don Mancini, the creator of the iconic killer doll Chucky, is not ready to put an end to the Child's Play franchise just yet. With the third season of the TV series Chucky nearing its conclusion, Mancini has already hinted at the possibility of a new Chucky movie in the works.
The Chucky TV series has been a hit among fans, bringing back beloved characters from the franchise's history and introducing new elements to the storyline. As the second part of Season 3 is set to premiere on SyFy and USA Network, Mancini has expressed his desire to continue expanding the Chucky universe.
Mancini envisions a future where the TV series and movies coexist, creating a cross-media universe for Chucky. He has pitched the idea of a fourth season of the show to the network and is also in the early stages of developing a new Chucky movie that will complement the series.
Since its debut in 1988, Chucky has become a horror movie legend, with seven movies released so far. The latest installment, Cult of Chucky, was released in 2017, and fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the eighth movie.
Season 3 of Chucky was split into two parts due to the 2023 strikes, with the new episodes set to air starting on April 10. The trailer for the upcoming episodes shows Chucky in a vulnerable state, facing his mortality like never before.
As the season unfolds, Chucky's fate hangs in the balance, with significant implications for the characters Jake, Devon, and Lexy, who rely on the doll to help find Lexy's missing sister. Meanwhile, Tiffany remains on Death Row for her past crimes, adding to the suspense of the season's conclusion.
Whether the series will continue beyond its third season or lead into the new movie Mancini is working on remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear – fans of Chucky are in for more thrills and chills as the franchise continues to captivate audiences.
For those eager to catch up on Chucky's latest adventures, the series is available for streaming on Peacock, with new episodes airing on SyFy and USA Network starting April 10.
