No present is having extra enjoyable than Chucky, and it’s lastly coming again

TV has gotten off to a robust begin in 2024. Shōgun is legitimately improbable, and the sort of weekly watercooler present we’ve been lacking as a tradition in a post-Sport of Thrones world. Scrumptious in Dungeon has stolen my coronary heart and my abdomen. TV diversifications of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Gents, and The Three-Physique Drawback had been all significantly higher than I anticipated. And on the planet of cape fiction, Invincible has continued its robust run, and the X-Males are again! Even with all that, the yr in tv is simply beginning. There are tons of thrilling reveals across the nook, like Park Chan-wook’s The Sympathizer, Prime Video’s Fallout present, and new seasons of Evil, Taskmaster, Interview with the Vampire, and Physician Who.

However reader, I’d be mendacity to you if I mentioned there was any present I used to be extra excited for than the return of Chucky. The present, created by Baby’s Play franchise mastermind Don Mancini, has carried the mantle of the killer doll films in one of the simplest ways doable. It’s deliriously humorous, cartoonishly gory, winkingly over-the-top (Jennifer Tilly deserves many, many Emmys), and never afraid to delve into the deep recesses of its personal canon. And regardless of its full dedication to campy excellence, Chucky stays criminally underwatched by my pals and friends. I implore you to rectify this and be part of me within the cult of Chucky.

My honest hope is that it has likewise transformed you into the Chucky trustworthy.
