Last night marked the series premiere of Don Mancini’s “Chucky” on both USA and SYFY, bringing the killer doll to the small screen for his very first television series.
If you missed it or just plain don’t have cable because you pulled the plug some time ago, you’ll be happy to hear that the premiere episode is now streaming FREE on YouTube!
Watch the “Chucky” premiere below. New episodes air Tuesday nights at 10/9c. Expect weekly reviews from Meagan, and weekly “Queer Horror of Chucky” recaps from Joe.
Brad Dourif is back as Chucky and Jennifer Tilly is back as Tiffany in “Chucky,” which will continue the storylines from the *original* movies and their recent sequels, Curse and Cult of Chucky. Also returning are Fiona Dourif as Nica Pierce, Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay, and Christine Elise as Kyle. Devon Sawa (Final Destination, Hunter Hunter) also stars.
“Chucky” has been described as a “fresh take on the franchise” that’ll “explore Chucky’s character with a depth that is uniquely afforded by the television series format.”
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 somehow became this notorious monster.”
“Chucky” is executive produced by Nick Antosca (“Channel Zero”).
