Creator Don Mancini announced it on his Instagram

Just to clarify, this is not 2019 Movie Chucky, this is the continuation of the original Chucky franchise, as referenced in the show synopsis.

This has been in the works for a while so glad this has confirmation of happening.

I have a deep affection for the OG Chucky franchise, especially the first movie, so this is something I'm interested in checking out. Never bothered with the 2019 movie outside of watching a Kill Count on it. From what I saw, it felt like it could have been about any talking toy but they used the Child's Play property for recognition because they could. And I get it, but considering this series was announced by that point, it just turned me off.

Plus, Brad Dourif is Chucky. Mark Hamill is awesome and did a great job from what I could tell, but there's only one voice that embodies (no pun intended) Chucky and that's Brad Dourif. Irreplaceable, imo.

Wonder if Jennifer Tilly will be on board. She was extremely vocal about Dourif being out of the remake.

So how long before Chucky appeared on RAW

My initial reflex is “ugh..” but I like Chucky. A lot. And it’s refreshing to hear they’re going back with the original franchise’s continuation. Judging by the little info in the article, I hope the towns people are sort of the Antagonist and Chucky’s trademark humor is kept. The scene in Child’s Play 3 when the guy dies of a heart attack and Chucky replies “you got to be f***ing kidding me” is one of my all-time biggest laughs.

Chucky made for TV....I remain skeptical

I’m ready.

I’m not even worried about it being on tv. The child’s play series isn’t all that gory anyway and USA gets away with some messed up shit if you watch The Sinner.

One of those Fast & Furious style franchises that got better the longer it went on and the more they embraced the ridiculousness.

2019 movie was actually pretty good but it would be like Vin Diesel coming out and saying "we want to take the franchise back to it's roots" and the next movie is just about street racing, but with a better story and director.

Which is to say, I'm in favor of this.

Yeah, only Curse & Cult are really that gory.
