Chucky is slashing his way to television, with Syfy landing the rights to develop a series based on the famously red-haired, freckle-faced possessed doll.
The series, named “Chucky,” will be executive produced by Don Mancini, who wrote all seven films (and directed three) in the “Child’s Play” franchise, and David Kirschner, who produced all of the films alongside Mancini. Nick Antosca is executive producing as well under his company Eat the Cat, with Universal Cable Productions set as the studio.
“I’ve long wanted to bring Chucky to television and Syfy is the perfect network for us,” said Mancini, who will write the TV adaptation.
