The “Chucky” community is still reeling from the news of the show’s cancellation at USA and SYFY after three seasons, but the cast and crew have been keeping the hope alive these last several weeks. The fans have as well, of course, launching the #SaveChucky campaign across social media in an effort to ensure that the series finds a new home or some kind of new life.
From the moment the series was cancelled, “Chucky” creator Don Mancini immediately made it clear that Chucky will be back, and he’s doubling down on that promise this week.
“The CHUCKY franchise has always prioritized story continuity, across different media, for decades. You WILL see your favorites again,” Mancini posted to Twitter over the weekend.
What Mancini is essentially saying here is that no matter what the future holds for all things Chucky, the past – that includes the TV series and the original movies – will not be left behind. Mancini’s tweet seems to be in response to rumors that were swirling last week about the franchise returning with a new movie that would disregard the events and characters of the “Chucky” television series, and it would seem those rumors are very much untrue.
Mancini’s “Chucky” franchise, across movies and television, has indeed always prioritized story continuity, and we see no reason to believe that won’t continue to be the case going forward.
On a related note, Mancini has recently hinted that a new movie is in its “early stages.” Those comments were made back in March of this year, before the series cancellation was decided.
We have no idea what’s next for Chucky, Tiffany and the gang at this time, but one thing’s for certain: if you want to see your favorite killer doll back on screen, you need to demand it.
Use #SaveChucky across social media to make sure your voice is heard!
