When you consider the total scope of the Chucky franchise, it may be stated that there are 4 linked branches of the canon. The primary is the Andy Barclay Trilogy a.okay.a. Baby’s Play 1-3; the second is the duology of Bride Of Chucky and Seed Of Chucky; the third is the Nica Pierce story a.okay.a. Curse Of Chucky and Cult Of Chucky; and the fourth is the Chucky TV collection (which can also be form of the trunk of the continuity tree on this metaphor given the way it connects all the pieces collectively). It’s efficiently each easy and complicated… and if issues go based on plan, we might even see a fifth department quickly rising sooner or later.
With Chucky Season 3.5 premiering tonight (the season break up in half as a result of 2023 Hollywood labor disputes), I had the acute pleasure of interviewing franchise creator Don Mancini earlier this week, and one of many many topics we touched on in our prolonged dialog was the brand new Chucky film he’s at present writing. I requested if the brand new characteristic was going to be an extension of the present or its personal separate factor, and he defined that it’s a little bit of a mix. Stated Mancini,
A little bit of each. I imply, it is its personal distinct factor, and I can not say an excessive amount of about it, however it could work in tandem with the present, if the present continues – and I definitely hope that is the case; that is the dream situation. However it is going to additionally work with out that. It’s its personal distinct story and idea and kind of milieu. Nevertheless it works in tandem with the entire universe.
Based mostly on this remark, it sounds just like the untitled new Chucky film gained’t be ignoring the wild occasions which can be transpiring on the small display screen (and Chucky Season 3.5 is WILD), however it is going to characteristic its personal impartial narrative that gained’t deal with the collection like need-to-know materials. In fact, that can then open up the chance for the characters within the characteristic to look on the present within the aftermath (assuming that any/a few of them survive).
Nothing is about in stone but with both the film or the way forward for the present, however Don Mancini has excessive hopes:
Fingers crossed that our plans to take over the world go unabated!
We’ll stay optimistic that the Chucky franchise continues to develop and develop sooner or later – however to not be ignored is the excellence that followers are being served proper now. The primary half of Chucky Season 3 supplied followers with one of the best run of episodes but, and having already seen all 4 of the episodes that might be airing within the coming weeks, I can let you know that it brilliantly sticks the touchdown and has many, many surprises on the way in which. It takes larger swings than any earlier Chucky story has going again to 1988, and it’s phenomenal.

And in case you miss an episode, all you want is a Peacock subscription to stream it the very subsequent day.
