We Need To #SaveChucky
After season three of Chucky ended, followers had been subjected to a painfully lengthy wait because the present’s future was determined. Ultimately, USA/SyFy/Peacock canceled Chucky and all the horror world shed a bloody tear. Even if you happen to weren’t a fan of the franchise, it’s arduous to disclaim how nice it was having a traditional horror villain get such a mainstream highlight. Hell, we even obtained to see Chucky kill WWE Women’s Champion Liv Morgan. It’s the form of factor that solely works within the ludicrous world of Chucky. And with Season 3 ending off on such a cliffhanger, this cancellation actually leaves followers excessive and dry. But there’s nonetheless hope in a number of varieties.
Don Manicini talked about earlier this yr that he was prepping one other film involving Chucky and it will “work in tandem with the TV show.” Obviously, with this transformation of occasions, I’m certain the film can function a combination of what it was initially meant to be, in addition to wrap up unfastened ends from the present. And if the present is completely gone then nice. A film could be a pleasant approach to wrap issues up. But I’d argue that hope just isn’t misplaced but for one more season both as a result of…
Another Network may simply choose up Chucky and air it on their channel/streaming platform!
We’ve seen Manifest get saved by Netflix after which be an enormous hit for them however that was removed from the primary time. The Mindy Project, Brooklyn 99, Warrior Nun, Magnum P.I., Cougar Town, and Lucifer are amongst many reveals which were canceled, solely to be revived by one other community or streamer. Many have been fairly profitable, with even the failures nonetheless offering a conclusion for followers who would have in any other case been shafted. And the one widespread thread with all of those reveals is having a loyal fanbase that campaigned for the present to return to the air. But what concerning the forged themselves?
Most have already taken to social media to indicate their help for the #SaveChucky marketing campaign. I used to be lucky sufficient to speak with Don and all the forged concerning the present throughout promotion for Season Three and it’s evident it is a labor of affection. So I can’t think about it will be tough to get them again. But like something in life, the extra time that passes, the much less doubtless it’s to occur. So it’s time for followers of Chucky and Child’s Play to go on social media, and make their presence identified. And simply by trying on any social media platform, you possibly can see the #SaveChucky marketing campaign in full pressure.
And there’s one factor that isn’t being talked about almost sufficient within the midst of all of this: Chucky being canceled successfully retires Brad Dourif. As we found throughout my discuss with him, Dourif considers himself retired from performing exterior of his efficiency as Chucky. And as somebody who’s not able to say goodbye to Dourif or his pretty voice on display, that is all of the extra cause to need the present again. And if that’s not sufficient to encourage you, then I don’t know what is going to.
So ensure you’re nonetheless utilizing the #SaveChucky tag on social media to assist present that there’s an curiosity on the market for extra Chucky. Because after getting three seasons of this little bastard wreaking havoc on tv, the world feels somewhat extra empty figuring out we received’t get to see Devon Sawa die in one other horrific method.
Do you assume we’ll get one other season of Chucky? Do social media fan campaigns even work? Would a film be a greater thought? Let us know within the feedback under!
