Promo Teaser For SyFy's Upcoming CHILD'S PLAY Series, CHUCKY
Child’s Play creator Don Mancini has shared the first teaser trailer for SyFy’s upcoming series Chucky, which see’s the return of the murderous doll and moves his story forward.
In the new Chucky series, “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.”
This is a fun little tease. It doesn’t show much, but it’s sure to get fans of the franchise a little excited about what’s coming. Check it out!
Mancini previously talked about the series offering some additional details explaining:
“With this TV show, our mission has been to preserve the straightforward scariness of the original film or the first couple of films. But at the same time, continue on with this ever-expanding tapestry of consistent story that we’ve spun over the course of seven movies and 30-some years. I think fans are really gonna love to see the new characters that we introduce into this realm and just to see how they came off of our classic characters. Not just Chucky, but some of the others that you may be hoping to see. There’s a good chance they may turn up.”
Mancini also went on to talk about some of the various elements that will appeal to the fans, and he also teases a different goal that Chucky will have in the upcoming TV show, saying:
“I think the prospect of seeing Chucky sharpen his skills and add to his toolbox, some of the technical goodies that we have at our disposal now, that’s something I think people will find pretty interesting. It’s so important to give Chucky new weapons, new strategies, and new targets, new goals. Chucky has a different goal in the TV show than he’s ever had before and it’s specifically something that is designed to evoke something that’s going on in the zeitgeist today.”
Brad Dourif, who voiced Chucky in all the original films, is returning to bring the serial killer doll to life again. Jennifer Tilly will also be back for the series as well.
