Nick Antosca Promises CHUCKY Fans Will “Love” New TV Series
Nick Antosca (Channel Zero) is a producer on the upcoming Chucky TV series. And today he promised us fans that we’ll love what Mancini and friends have in store.
Antosca tells io9: “Don wrote an awesome show. He’s showrunning it, and he had a great writer’s room. I’m cautious about talking details, but we’re working on it every day. As a Chucky fan, I’ll just say I’m over the moon that Brad Dourif is back as Chucky, as well as some other familiar characters and that I think fans are going to love where Don is taking it — and new audiences as well. It’s scary, it’s really funny, and it’s very smart. Nobody knows Chucky better than he does, and he’s pushing the boundaries yet again. I can’t wait for everyone to see it next year.”
I can’t wait!
It begins 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. Brad Dourif returns to voice the titular killer doll and Jennifer Tilly reprises her role as Tiffany Valentine. Here’s the teaser.
Franchise creator Don Mancini will write, serve as showrunner, direct the pilot , and executive produce with David Kirschner (Hocus Pocus, Frailty), Nick Antosca (The Act, Channel Zero), and Harley Peyton (Twin Peaks, Channel Zero).
