Horror fans and goths are currently suffering from the summer heat and are depressed because it seems like a long time till scary season. The SyFy channel has revealed that everyone’s favourite psychotic doll, Chucky, will return just in time for Halloween, so there is a Jack-O-Lantern-shaped light at the end of the tunnel.
The date announcement tease begins with people out trick-or-treating bathed in neon light. Red letters on screen say; “This Halloween get ready for Chucky 2.” A pumpkin carved into a Chucky face with a knife sticking out of his forehead is shown. This new season will debut on October 5.
In terms of what to expect in season two, we know that Chucky has been busy creating an army of possessed dolls. Mancini told Bloody Disgusting this plotline will be explored this season “Once you get into your fourth decade in a franchise, it’s trying to forge ahead into unseen, unexplored territory. And the idea of multiple Chucky dolls always appealed to me.”
The whole season one cast is expected to return, including Jennifer Tilly and even Devon Sawa, though he might have a new role this time around. Brad and Fiona Dourif, who play Chucky and Nica Pierce, will reprise their previous performances.
Chucky was a big hit with horror fans and critics alike, scoring over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. Showrunner Don Mancini passed along a message to Chucky’s fans at the end of season one, “Chucky sends his still-undying thanks, and a message: ‘This isn’t over, not by a long shot. You better watch your backs in 2022!’”
