Chucky is an American horror television series created by Don Mancini and based on the Child's Play film franchise. It serves as a sequel to Cult of Chucky, the seventh film in the franchise and stars Brad Dourif, reprising his role as the voice of the titular character, alongside Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise McCarthy, and Jennifer Tilly returning for their roles from the previous films.[1] The cast also includes Zackary Arthur, Teo Briones, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Björgvin Arnarson, Lexa Doig and Devon Sawa.

Developed by Syfy and USA Network, the series follows Chucky as he commits a series of mysterious murders in a quiet city in the United States. Series creator Mancini and writer David Kirschner both serve as executive producers for the series, alongside Nick Antosca, Harley Peyton and Alex Hedlund. The series premiered on Syfy and the USA Network on October 12, 2021.[2][3][4] It received generally positive reviews from critics.

Plot

The series takes place after the events of Cult of Chucky.[5] In the city of Hackensack, New Jersey, 14-years-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.[6][7] 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.[2][8]

Starring mostly teenagers and advertised as a "coming of rage" story,[9] the series tackles themes of sexuality, bullying, domestic life and murder.[10][5][11] 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.[11]

Jake Wheeler, a 14-year-old middle school student, purchases a vintage Good Guy doll named Chucky from a yard sale with intentions of taking him apart using the pieces in his personal contemporary art project. Jake's father Lucas, who already disapproved of this, later becomes furious during a family dinner where Jake's cousin Junior, an academic high achiever and junior athlete, makes a snide remark about how Jake spending too much time "playing with dolls", and comments on Jake being gay. Roused by latent homophobia, once alone, Lucas smashes the doll-sculpture Jake was working on with a baseball bat, and forbids him from bringing any more dolls into the house. Hoping to sell Chucky, Jake takes him to school the next day, where he is bullied by Junior and his girlfriend Lexy. At home, Jake is called by Andy Barclay, who convinces him that Chucky is possessed by the soul of deceased serial killer Charles Lee Ray; Jake then throws the doll away. Chucky tracks Jake down to the school talent show later that night and forces him to perform an act, under the guise of the doll being a ventriloquist dummy. During the act, Chucky publicly humiliates both Lexy and his aunt Bree and Jake is subsequently suspended from school. During a heated argument with Lucas afterward over Lucas's shame over Jake's sexuality, Lucas hits him, Jake states that he wishes his father were dead. Chucky murders him soon after.

In the present day, Jake returns to school after his father's death where he's invited to Oliver's Halloween party. While everyone is out, Chucky murders the Wheelers' maid. Even though it's ruled as an accident, the cops accidentally let slip to Logan and Bree that they're beginning to suspect Jake murdered his father and now the maid. Jake confronts Chucky, who feigns innocence and tried to convince Jake he's on his side (even going so far as to mention his own genderfluid child). That night, Junior and Jake overhear Logan and Bree discussing if they're even capable of looking after Jake, and Junior begins to fear Jake is capable of hurting Lexy. On the night of the Halloween party, Lexy is told to take her sister Caroline (who has begun to fixate on Chucky since seeing him in the talent show) trick-or-treating, but takes her to the party instead. Jake decides to stay home until he finds Chucky missing and races to the party in a panic. There, he finds Lexy has dressed up as his father, and is mocking his death. Despite his rage, Jake stops Chucky from killing her. That night, Chucky once again tries to convince Jake that the world is where you either kill or be killed, and that he'll have to man up and pick a side, offering his knife.

Production

Development

On January 29, 2019, it was reported the series was in development on Syfy, with Don Mancini serving as the series creator. Mancini was also expected to serve as an executive producer alongside David Kirschner and Nick Antosca.[20] On January 11, 2020, during NBCUniversal's presentation at the TCA Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, California, it was announced that Syfy had given the production a straight-to-series order, with Harley Peyton was set to serve as an executive producer alongside Mancini, Kirschner, and Antosca.[2] Universal Content Productions would be involved producing the series.[21] Mancini wrote all eight episodes of the first season and directed the first episode.[13] For Chucky's character, he was allowed to add the word "fuck" a maximum of ten times per episode.[22]

Mancini, who began working for television on the Hannibal series, wanted to "reinvent" the Chucky franchise by bringing it to this format, and subsequently expand its fandom.[23] He took a somewhat autobiographical approach to Jake's character, a gay teenager whose father is not accepting of the boy's "burgeoning sexual and romantic identity".[24] The director cites this conflict as referential to his own adolescence.[25] The show is a direct sequel to Cult of Chucky (2017), where the cliffhanger ending puts the titular character "on the road to a sexual exploration" after he transfers his soul to a female body.[5] As an innovation for the character, Chucky is also used as a "metaphor" of the real life bully, guising himself to be "charming [and] funny" and manipulating people (what Mancini called "the ultimate bully").[10][26] By making him close to Jake, whose struggles are related to those of the LGBT community,[10] the series also acknowledges that "Chucky himself has a queer kid" (Glen/Glenda, from Seed of Chucky).[24][25] With eight hours to explore different sides of the story, Mancini saw the opportunity to explore the killer's past and answer questions that fans had been asking, like who his first victim was and how he met his bride Tiffany.[8] While working on the show, Mancini was concerned with the potential impact the 2019 Child's Play reboot could have had in the franchise, speculating that, had it been a success, Universal Pictures could have decided to abandon the original film continuity. However, the reboot film was not the success Universal expected and a sequel has not been produced.[27]

Casting

The first teaser for the show, released on July 15, 2020, revealed that Brad Dourif would again provide the voice of Chucky.[28] Between March and April of the following year, many other actors already linked to the franchise were confirmed to have recurring parts, including Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany Valentine, Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay, Christine Elise as Kyle, and Fiona Dourif as Nica Pierce.[3][29][30] Devon Sawa was cast to play the roles of twins Lucas and Logan Wheeler,[31] while Barbara Alyn Woods and Lexa Doig were chosen for other recurring characters.[32][33] Four teenage actors were also added to the list: Zackary Arthur as Jake, Teo Briones as Junior, Alyvia Alyn Lind as Lexy, and Björgvin Arnarson as Devon.[29] Arthur, whose parents did not let him watch R-rated movies as a kid, had his first introduction to the saga in preparation for his role.[34]

Filming

Filming for the series was scheduled to start in the fall of 2020, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[35] Shooting officially began on March 29, 2021, and concluded on August 11, 2021, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[36] The Square One parking lot in Mississauga was used as a "base camp" for production.[37] Tony Gardner and Peter Chevako developed Chucky's look with the goal to make it look exactly like he did in Child's Play 2.[38] It took group of six or seven puppeteers to make Chucky move, which represents 99.5% of the doll's actions, according to Mancini, who has expressed his preference to do things practically over using computer-generated images.[25] Digital effects were only used to erase puppeteers from screen or any implements required by the animatronic, such as rods or cables.[23] A kid named Jacob sometimes performed as a double.[25][39]

Broadcast

A week after the American premiere, Chucky will be broadcast on Showcase in Canada starting October 19, 2021.[40] It is also available on Star+ for all of Latin America and on 9Now in Australia.[41][42][43] In Asia, series broadcast on Rock Entertainment from October 31, 2021.

Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 90% based on 30 critic reviews, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A bloody good time that benefits greatly from Brad Dourif's return, Chucky may not play well for non-fans, but franchise devotees will find its absurd humor and creative horror very much intact on the small screen."[44] Metacritic gave the series a weighted average score of 70 out of 100 based on 10 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[45]

Earlier reviews, which focused on the first four episodes that were sent to critics,[46][47] commented on how the franchise was adapted to the television format. Alex McLevy from The A.V. Club said that the series "retains all of [Chucky's] penchant for grotesque kills and juvenile, acidic humor", and that "when the oddball mix of sensibilities works, [the show] can be daffily entertaining".[46] Television critic Daniel Fienberg finds the franchise "more funny than scary", with this installment still leaning towards the latter; writing for The Hollywood Reporter, he affirmed that "the series delivers solidly" when it comes to displaying Chucky in action, although being "a tiny bit unnerving when it shows how humans interact with the doll".[47] Allison Keene from Paste described it as "surprisingly warm in terms of its atmosphere and direction",[48] whereas Steven Scaife from Slant called it a "funny, absurd series that engenders sympathy as well as shock", also stating: "It creates a world of malleable, alienated kids failed to varying degrees by their parents, and then it expresses the danger of what they find once they're pushed away".[49]

Within its first week, the show attracted a total of 4.4 million viewers, half of them being in the 18-49 demographic, according to Nielsen Media Research.[50] It was one of the highest-rated premieres of 2021 in cable television.[51] With the episodes later debuting on both Syfy and USA Network's official YouTube channels for free, Chucky also gathered 2.9 million views combined in the United States, by October 25.[50]
