How Chucky Season 2 Can Fix The Most Hated Child’s Play Movie
Syfy’s Chucky touches on every past movie in the franchise except Child’s Play 3 — but that doesn't mean Chucky season 2 can't fix this most hated of Chucky films. The 1991 slasher-comedy takes place eight years after Child’s Play 2 and sees a recast Andy Barclay sent to military school after bouncing around a series of foster homes. The notorious Good Guy doll Chucky again finds his way to Andy, but this time has a new target: 8-year-old cadet Tyler (Jeremy Sylvers). Child’s Play 3 was disliked by critics and fans alike, resulting in a poor 23% rating (via Rotten Tomatoes) and making it the poorest rated film of the franchise.
In contrast, the Chucky series has the perfect approach to a reboot, containing a great mix of old and new characters, and Chucky season 2 is already in the works. The Syfy series sees Brad Dourif reprise his role as Chucky while including other popular legacy characters such as Andy (Alex Vincent), Kyle (Christine Elise), Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly), and Nica (Fiona Dourif), who make their way to Hackensack, a picture-perfect neighborhood that soon becomes a nightmare locale after Jake Wheeler (Zackary Arthur) finds a possessed Good Guy doll at a yard sale.
