Spring Season 2 Ender - Chucky

Spring is rapidly wrapping up. It's Thanksgiving in the US of A so some shows are done or resting. The second season of the American horror series Chucky, which in Australia airs on a Channel Nine platform, airs in the US on Syfy and USA Network, concluding this week. Also wrapping this week was The Walking Dead (sort of forever), Pennyworth (finale tonight on Binge) and Andor. So it's been a big week of TV finales. 

Chucky is based on the Child's Play film franchise.

Spoilers ahead for the gory AF second season blood stained finale! Will it be the series finale though?

A flashback reveals that Chucky Prime was able to perform the ritual to swap bodies with Dr. Mixter before Andy killed the doll. 

Now in her body, Chucky retrieves a new Good Guy doll from her office, which he transfers himself into (resulting in the police finding Dr. Mixter's body). 

With Glen's condition worsening, Glenda and Tiffany decide to save them by transferring them into the Glen/Glenda doll. A

fter killing a suspicious cop, they perform the ritual - transferring both twins into the doll, now calling themselves G.G. Tiffany ships G.G. to England, so they can learn more about their origins. 

Weeks after returning home, Jake and Lexy enlist in group therapy, and Lexy invites Jake and Devon to stay at her house for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Jake and Devon, along with Lexy and Michelle, mend their respective relationships. 

Chucky arrives at the house, as does Tiffany, who is searching for Caroline's Belle doll. Chucky murders Michelle when she comes down the stairs, and Tiffany doesn't intervene when Lexy arrives and kills Chucky. 

Jake and Devon wound Tiffany, but Caroline, whose mind has been fully corrupted by Chucky, claims Tiffany is her real mother and leaves with her and the Belle doll. 

The next day, Jake, Devon, and Lexy are visited by Miss Fairchild, who believes their stories about Chucky. 

Three weeks later.... after Tiffany and Caroline have moved to New York, Tiffany receives a threatening phone call from Nica (who is in New York as well), who swears revenge. Tiffany attempts to transfer her soul into the Belle doll, but it fails when Chucky reveals he has already transferred himself into the doll; he attacks Tiffany as Caroline smiles. 

Finally at end of the slightly longer episode, Chucky recaps the gory second season's kills. This was also a feature of the first season finale.


The eight episodes ran quickly week to week, but will a third season be required after all the movies and 16 TV episodes? USA Network now only have Chucky as an original series, which is a co-pro anyway with the Syfy network.

Next up, the Pennyworth season three finale. No news on a fourth season for Pennyworth two. Is a USA cancellation spree on the way?

Until next time! I'm off to Canberra. Bye!
