The Young And The Restless – Chucky’s First TV Series
The new TV series titled Chucky, which is set to air on October 12, has had its official trailer premiered at the show’s Comic-Con@Home panel. The show marks the Chucky franchise’s first foray into TV. It features the popular red-haired doll, named Chucky, as it continues to commit murder. And, we can’t wait to see The Young and the Restless cast member Alyvia Alyn Lind in it!
Serial Killer Possessed Red-head Doll
Fans may recall that the doll has been possessed by the soul of the dead serial killer, Charles Lee Ray, the Lakeshore Strangler. Chucky was created by Don Mancini in the original film titled Child’s Play in 1988. The franchise has six sequels and a recent reboot in 2019. Mancini is the showrunner and screenwriter of the new series. He’ll also direct the show’s pilot episode.

Ray, the serial killer who possesses the evil doll, was only shown a few times in human form. After the original film, his appearance was limited to flashbacks. As revealed during San Diego’s Comic-Con International, the TV series will explore Ray’s childhood, although the trailer didn’t feature any footage of young Ray (David Kohlsmith).
The horror-comedy tone of the original film was changed to a dark and psychological one on the upcoming TV show. The upcoming series is a continuation of the 2017 film, Cult of Chucky. It follows the story of Jake Webber (Zachary Arthur), a teenager who always gets bullied at school and struggles to cope with the death of her mother. He creates sculptures out of doll parts. He finds and buys Chucky at a yard sale and brings him home.
