‘Chucky’ Canceled By Syfy & USA After 3 Seasons, Leaving Creator Don Mancini “Heartbroken” But “Grateful” Amid NBCU Cable Scripted Shift
'Chucky,' based on the classic horror movie franchise, will not return for a fourth season on Syfy and USA Network amid a strategy shift at NBCU.
Needless to say, today’s outcome is not what he had hoped for, but Mancini, who also created and wrote movie franchise, remained graceful in his reaction, vowing that this is not Chucky’s last spree. Amid the sobering reality of the ad-supported cable business in the cord-cutting era, Syfy is now relying on Canadian ( SurrealEstate, the upcoming Revival) and modestly budgeted independent productions, like Electric Entertainment’s The Arc, for its original scripted offerings. After his diabolical plan to invade America’s children’s hospitals was foiled in season one, Chucky now seeks revenge on those he holds responsible: surviving teens Jake (Zackary Arthur), Devon (Björgvin Arnarson) and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind), along with his ex Tiffany, now his sworn enemy.
