Screamfest held a 20th anniversary screening of Bride of Chucky and Bloody-Disgusting moderated the Q&A with writer Don Mancini, producer and Chucky/Tiffany designer David Kirschner and star Nick Stabile. The Chucky gang are still developing a “Chucky” TV series. Mancini confirmed that the series would not only pick up after the latest movie sequel, Cult of Chucky, but also introduce new characters and storylines.
“We deliberately ended Cult with a bunch of cliffhangers to set up a TV series,” Mancini said. “Because there are so many different threads now, television could best accommodate that so that was done intentionally. At the same time, we have a whole new world, a bunch of new characters which we can say nothing about.”
“The only thing I think we can say is from the original film that Don wrote, Child’s Play, we are playing with that concept again, the idea of child’s play,” Kirschner said. “I’ll let you guys fill in the pieces of that.”
“It involves children,” Mancini adds. “We saw that after seven movies, how can we flip again? So this time not by merely changing genre but by changing medium. This will give us a different kind of canvas, a much bigger canvas to explore characters and relationships.”
Cult of Chucky introduced Chucky’s ability to possess multiple dolls simultaneously, and ultimately take over Nica (Fiona Dourif)’s body. Nica/Chucky runs off with Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) who may still be in actor Jennifer Tilly’s body from Seed of Chucky. Andy Barclay has been left behind in the institution and his foster sister Kyle (Christine Elise) even showed up.
