The 'Child's Play' makers have finally decided to scare their audience via the small screen. Just like the movie, the series also portrays the vintage murderous doll with a knife. The makers haven't rebooted the '80s kitsch design of the doll as it says in the 1998 movie, "A true Classic never goes out of style." The writer of the film, Don Mancini, shared an image online that read, 'Chucky Did It', leaving all his fans thinking about the little murderer Chucky. Here's everything we know about the series.

Release Date

The series will release on Syfy Wire in 2021. MEA WorldWide (MEAWW) will update this page once the release date is announced. 

Plot

The official synopsis of the movie states: "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."

Dourif has appeared in a number of horror films including 'The Exorcist 3' and Rob Zombie's 'Halloween'. The actor has also received a British Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for his role as Billy Bibbit in 'Cuckoo's Nest'.

Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany

Jennifer Tilly, who played Chucky's girlfriend Tiffany in 'Bride of Chucky', will be reuniting with 'his' Chucky in the series. The actor gained a lot of popularity when she portrayed the role of Tiffany Valentine in 'Child's Play'. Her character was introduced in the fourth part of the film and the audience totally loved the gothic murderous doll.

Creators

The TV series, produced by Universal Content Productions and will air on Syfy Wire. The creator and writer of the film is Don Mancini. The series will be executive produced by Mancini, David Kirschner, Nick Antosca and Harley Peyton. Mancini, who penned the film franchise, will also write the adaptation, serve as showrunner and direct the first episode.
