Child's Play creator Don Mancini and Channel Zero creator Nick Antosca have made the leap to TV with the new Syfy series Chucky. The series served as the sequel to the film Cult of Chucky, continuing the franchise that started with the 1988 classic.

The first episode of the series dropped on Tuesday, October 12 and the iconic doll show hooked the viewers with her spine-chilling story and screenplay. The series tells the story of an idyllic American town that is thrown into chaos after a vintage ‘Good Guy’ doll turns up at a suburban yard sale. Soon after, a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town’s deep hypocrisies and hidden secrets.
