‘Chucky’ Cancelled Before Fourth Season

After the cancellation of Reginald the Vampire in July, deliberation began about the future of Chucky. Although there was discussion of a condensed last season or even a movie that would conclude the story, Chucky will be discontinued after three seasons.

Much of the cult following (no pun intended) from the film franchise followed the killer doll’s transition to television. Despite part one of season 3 achieving record viewership with adults 18 through 49 last fall, the series struggled to gain traction with newer audiences. Since developing the screenplay for the first Chucky film, Chucky series creator and showrunner, Don Mancini has been involved in nearly all media associated with the character. The 2019 Child’s Play reboot stands as the only movie in which he wasn’t directly involved. Upon the announcement, Mancini took to Twitter (Now X), to share a headline and simply wrote, “HE’LL BE BACK.” A #RenewChucky hashtag had been circulating on X for the past few months, leading up to the cancellation. Cast member, Jennifer Tilly even took a moment to thank fans for their support saying, “Without your loyalty and tenacity Chucky would never have endured for thirty years!”
