Chucky is based on the Child's Play film franchise, serving as a sequel to Cult of Chucky, the seventh film in the franchise.
Starring Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise McCarthy, and Jennifer Tilly, Zackary Arthur, Teo Briones, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Björgvin Arnarson, Lexa Doig and Devon Sawa (remember him).
The TV series follows Chucky as he commits a series of mysterious murders in a quiet city in the United States. Getting generally positive reviews from critics, along with higher viewership, it was no surprise the series was renewed for a second season. This is set to premiere in 2022.
The series takes place after the events of Cult of Chucky.
In the city of Hackensack, New Jersey, 14-year-old Jake Wheeler buys a Good Guy doll at a yard sale to use it in his contemporary art project. He later discovers that the doll is possessed by the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who in this form is known as Chucky.
Jake soon becomes a suspect in a series of strange events involving the doll, who unleashes a wave of shocking murders around the town. Some of the boy's classmates will also see themselves linked to these events.
In addition, a series of flashbacks explore Charles's past as a seemingly normal kid who somehow became one of Hackensack's most notorious killers.
Starring mostly teenagers, the series tackles themes of sexuality, bullying, domestic life and murder.
The main character, Jake Wheeler, finds himself prompted to homicidal acts by the doll while also struggling with his crush on classmate Devon and other issues that arise from being gay in unaccepting environments.
The gay spin on things is a little different from the usual horror TV series.
The ending is a brutal affair at the cinema which may stay with you for some viewers for a while. Chucky airs on 9Now in Australia. If horror is your thing, Chucky might hit the spot!
