“Chucky” showrunner Don Mancini has confirmed that the upcoming TV series continuation of the “Child’s Play” franchise won’t be holding back on the coarse language.
In the new series, a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale and an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets. Enemies and allies from Chucky’s past arrive as the demon doll’s untold origins are revealed.
Speaking about the upcoming show alongside executive producer over the weekend for Comic-Con@Home, Mancini says it was incredibly important to keep Chucky foul-mouthed and not to feel as though the series will sanitise any of the rough edges that come with the films:
“When Nick and I set up Chucky at Syfy, one of the first things we had to make sure of [was] that Chucky could drop his F-bombs, because it’s such an intrinsic part of his character, it would just seem wrong if he couldn’t… Fortunately, before we signed on the dotted line, they confirmed, yes, he can. I think he can drop, like, eight F-bombs per episode, or something like that — eight to ten, something like that — and I think there’s variations depending on what time it airs.”
Brad Dourif has recently been announced as reprising his role of the killer doll in “Chucky” which arrives on Syfy and USA Network in 2021.
