‘Chucky’ Season 2 Preview
Everyone’s favorite murderous, foul-mouthed doll is back when “Chucky” returns for its second season just in time for Halloween. The show is a continuation of the iconic horror movie franchise that follow “the murderous escapades of the notorious killer doll,” according to the Syfy press release.
It continues:
In the TV series, Chucky crosses paths with archenemies, old allies and new prey, as he seeks to inspire fear and mayhem wherever he goes. 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. Meanwhile, can “Jevon” make it as a couple in the face of adversity at their new Catholic school, not to mention a brand-new onslaught of terror from the demon doll?
“We’re thrilled to start pulling the strings on a second season of puppet mayhem with ‘Chucky,’” said executive producer Don Mancini in a statement. “Many thanks to our partners at USA, SYFY and UCP for their incredible support and guidance bringing ‘Chucky’ to the small screen, bigger than ever. And to the fans, Chucky sends his still-undying thanks, and a message: ‘This isn’t over, not by a long shot. You better watch your backs in 2022!’”
The season two premiere is titled “Halloween II” and its description reads, “Jake, Devon and Lexy receive threatening calls from an all-too-familiar-sounding enemy.”
Then on October 12 comes episode two, titled “The Sinners Are Much More Fun.” Its description reads, “Chucky arrives at Incarnate Lord with a murderous agenda; a detective questions Tiffany about Nica.”
“Chucky” co-stars Teo Briones, Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky, Lexa Doig, Barbara Alyn Woods, Michael Therriault, Rachelle Casseus, Carina London Battrick, Jennifer Tilly as the voice of Tiffany, and Devon Sawa.
In an interview with Gizmodo, star Alyvia Alyn Lind teased that her character has done a complete 180 from the first season.
“Lexy has changed completely. She is no longer the character we found in the first season,” said Lind. “She is completely transformed into a much better and more compassionate and more feeling person. She’s just really trying to protect people around her and trying to cope with the trauma that she’s endured in any way possible.”
She added, “We see how Lexy and Nadine can help each other with their problems. They’re both very understanding people. And Nadine sees what’s going on with Lexy and is really just trying to help her in any way possible; she’s so completely un-judgmental and just really wants her to get better. In return, Lexy gives her unconditional loyalty. Though Lexy has, like, her sarcasm, she’s deep down the most loyal person I think you’ll ever meet. So she just really is wanting to stick by Nadine and help her, too.”
“Chucky” season 2 premieres Wednesday, October 5 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Syfy.
