As if we needed yet another reason to get excited about “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2, set to arrive next year, EW reports that filmmaker and Seed of Chucky alum John Waters (Serial Mom, Pink Flamingos) is set to make his franchise return.
EW revealed that Waters will play Wendell Wilkins, the reclusive creator of the Good Guy dolls, who naturally gets caught in Chucky’s killer web. Waters previously played tabloid photographer Pete Peters, who met an acidic demise in 2004’s Seed of Chucky.
Waters’ appearance continues Mancini’s streak of bringing back the franchise’s players in exciting ways.
“Chucky” Season 3: Part 1 wrapped up with another over-the-top Halloween episode that ended on killer cliffhanger. Fret not, Season 3: Part 2 is on the way, and a brand new teaser ensured that Chucky’s ready to hit the ground running in 2024, promising an epic bloodbath.
In Chucky’s unending thirst for power, Season 3 now sees Chucky ensconced with the most powerful family in the world — America’s First Family, inside the infamous walls of the White House. How did Chucky wind up here? What in God’s name does he want? And how can Jake, Devon, and Lexy possibly get to Chucky inside the world’s most secure building, all while balancing the pressures of romantic relationships and growing up?
You can read my review of Season 3: Part 1 for Bloody Disgusting right here. She writes, “Once again, ‘Chucky’ delivers excessive blood splatter and campy fun.”
The returning cast includes Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, and Devon Sawa, alongside Lara Jean Chorostecki, Zackary Arthur, Björgvin Arnarson, and Alyvia Alyn Lind.
Unlike previous seasons of Don Mancini’s hit television series, new episodes of “Chucky” will be streaming the next day on Peacock. Good news for all you cord cutters out there.
This series is produced by UCP and executive produced by creator Don Mancini, Nick Antosca, Alex Hedlund, David Kirschner and Jeff Renfroe.
