Filmmaker Don Mancini has released the first teaser trailer for “Chucky,” the series continuation of his iconic “Child’s Play” horror film franchise.
In the series, 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 became this notorious monster.
The series directly follows on from the seven films in the franchise to date, all of which Mancini wrote, and no relation to last year’s studio produced reboot. Brad Dourif is once again expected to lend his voice to the titular character.
Original “Fright Night” and “Child’s Play” director Tom Holland helmed the pilot for the series which will premiere next year in a multi-network airing on SYFY and USA Network.
