Chucky has been cancelled after three seasons
After three seasons of terror on the USA Network and Syfy, Don Mancini’s Chucky sequence has been cancelled.
Chucky’s reign of terror has sadly come to an finish. It’s been introduced that Chucky has been cancelled after three seasons, which aired on each USA Network and Syfy.
“I’m heartbroken over the news that ‘Chucky’ won’t be coming back for a fourth season, but am so grateful for the killer three years we did have,” mentioned sequence creator Don Mancini in a press release. “I’d like to thank UCP/SYFY/Peacock/Eat the Cat, our awesome cast and Toronto-based crew (the best in the business), and finally, to our amazing fans, a big bloody hug. Your incredible #RenewChucky campaign really warmed Chucky’s cold heart. Chucky will return! He ALWAYS come back.”
The third (and now closing) season of Chucky concluded in May, and on the time, the destiny of the sequence was nonetheless undecided. Although there was reportedly speak of an abbreviated fourth and closing season or a possible wrap-up film, the sequence in the end received the axe.
Before the third season got here to an finish, Mancini mentioned that he had already pitched a fourth season to the community. “There’s very little I can say about that. I can’t tell you my idea for Season 4, but I’m really excited about it. I already pitched it to the network,” Mancini mentioned. “So fingers crossed because it’s something I really like to do. I think it’s really fun, new, and again, another left turn in terms of what we’ve been doing so far. We don’t know the status of the show yet. So again, fingers crossed that we will get picked up, right?” D’oh!
As Mancini talked about in his assertion, Chucky all the time comes again. He revealed earlier this yr that he was within the “early stages” of engaged on the brand new Chucky film that was being designed to “work in tandem with the TV show.” Now that the sequence has been cancelled, that connectivity might change, however it is best to by no means guess in opposition to Chucky. Even Brad Dourif, who instructed us that he considers himself retired, has mentioned that he’ll all the time return for Chucky.
