Don Mancini Writing New ‘Chucky’ Movie for Theatrical Return

A wide theatrical run would be the first in the series’ main continuity since 2004.

Overview

  • At Steel City Con in Pennsylvania, Mancini said he is writing a new feature-length Chucky installment.
  • He plans to release it in theaters rather than as a TV or digital title.
  • The script aims for a scarier tone in the vein of Curse of Chucky and the first two Child’s Play films.
  • Mancini framed it as a soft reset that still links to the USA Network series and past movies, with reports saying the TV tie is loose.
  • No studio, cast, production timeline, or release date has been announced yet.
