The original script featured contributions from Tom Holland and John Lafia, who would later direct Child's Play 2. Many of the characters from the Chucky films were included in the show. The new season did not seem to be affected by the same issues that delayed the first season.
Chucky season 1 brought a crop of new young actors to the fore, including Bjrgvin Arnarson, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and Teo Briones. Since the first Child's Play film in 1988, Don Mancini has shepherded the character to the big and small screen. He learns that the doll contains the spirit of the serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who goes on a killing spree, sowing chaos throughout his family and his school. Hopefully the team they assemble for season 2 will have as much success in keeping the series going as they did in the first season.
While the remake of Chucky was being developed by a different team, Mancini was hard at work bringing his version to the small screen. A gay teen named Jake Wheeler discovers a vintage Chucky doll at a garage sale in the first season of Chucky.
The second season of Chucky will be coming sometime in 2022. Chucky found its audience and struck a nerve, unlike other slasher franchise projects that have had ups and downs in public opinion.
The run of well-received projects from the Child's Play universe continued with the first season of Chucky. The season was also filled with horror genre stalwarts such as Final Destination's Devon Sawa and Lexa Doig. One day before the season finale aired, Chucky was renewed for a second season. The second season of Chucky will be coming this year, according to the creator. There is no word on what cast members will be returning.
