In Don Mancini’s upcoming Chucky TV series, Brad Dourif reprises his role as the voice of Chucky. The director used Twitter to offer two teasers from the upcoming series, which will air on SYFY and USA this fall. Chucky will pick up where the original Child’s Play movies left off, with Dourif repeating his legendary role as Chucky and Jennifer Tilly resuming her part as Tiffany, Chucky’s bride.
In the late 1980s, the Child’s Play movies were an instant crowd-pleaser. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the series returned for more, elaborating on the concept of having one possessed doll by adding Tilly’s “wife” in Bride of Chucky in 1998. Three further sequels were made, the most recent of which being Cult of Chucky in 2017. In 2019, a reboot film was released.
