Over the course of seven films (not counting the Child’s Play remake), Chucky the killer doll has murdered a lot of people. In the clip from the upcoming Chucky television series that can be seen in the embed above, he adds a frog to his list of victims as he helps out a new friend with a class project. Chucky is set to begin airing on both Syfy and USA Network on October 12th.
Don Mancini, who has written every Child’s Play film (except that remake) and directed a few of them, developed Chucky with producer David Kirschner. Mancini and Kirschner are executive producing Chucky with Harley Peyton, Alex Hedlund, and Nick Antosca. Mancini also directed the first episode. The show’s synopsis:
After a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets. Meanwhile, the arrival of enemies and allies from Chucky’s past threatens to expose the truth behind the killings, as well as the demon doll’s untold origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster.
