 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So today we actually got an update on the Chucky TV series or the child's play TV series rather It seems that it's going to be airing on the sci-fi network This doesn't come as a surprise to me only because I do believe Don Mancini was involved in a sci-fi original series in the past I think it was channel zero So I don't know why this never really occurred to me to think that they could land on sci-fi But then when I saw the announcement today that it was going on sci-fi I recall that Don Mancini was involved with something on the sci-fi channel Already, so I don't know why I never really thought about that or I don't think anyone really thought about sci-fi being an option Or if they did no one actually made it public Uh, but Chucky the TV series is going to be airing on sci-fi It's going to be continuing after cult of Chucky is not going to have anything to do with mgms upcoming reboot Which still we do not have a trailer for we don't know who's going to be doing the voice of Chucky Or if there is even going to be anyone doing a voice at all Uh Is going to be taking place right after cult of chucky. We're going to have uh, jennifer tiller. I think she's already stated She's going to be involved. I don't know if alex vinson to say that he'll be involved But I know brad dork is a hundred percent going to be returning and reprising his role as chucky for this He's not going to be involved with the reboot. He's only going to stick to the continuity to Don Mancini started all the way back in 1988 I think this is very exciting news for the franchise because a lot of people uh A lot of people or just fans in general who've been with this series since the beginning Uh, it seems that this that the series has been getting progressively worse With like each entry after each entry after bride of chucky Seat of chucky was kind of like the biggest downhill you could go Curse of chucky was again showing signs that okay. We're getting back to the groove of things then cult of chucky came and While the only one that's actually been complete utter trash is seed of chucky cult of chucky was showing those habits of what what may seed of chucky so hated uh And then with them going to sci-fi for the tv series and then cult cult of chucky ended in such a weird spot For the uh future of the future of the franchise in my opinion So I it'll be interesting to see how that gets acknowledged in this upcoming tv series Or who will be showing up again that was added into Cult of chucky a spoiler alert for those of you who have not seen cult of chucky. So if you haven't seen it Uh skip ahead a few seconds, but Andy Barkley stepped sister or foster sister. I believe she was in cult of chucky She had like a small cameo So it'll be interesting to see if she has any any factor into the child's play tv series I don't know if that was even made made known yet Uh, I think the official title for the series is going to be called chucky I think that's where they're going to go with calling it as far as like what I think about them ultimately landing on the sci-fi network I think this is going to be good for them because if it would have gone to netflix, which is still something I would have minded Since they're on cable television, they're going to have to censor themselves A bit more which now means that they're probably going to put the focus more into developing a good coherent story And put it on the focus is now going to be turned to the storytelling because I feel like if they would have just gone to netflix The main focus would have been Telling a somewhat decent decent narrative, but then focusing on A lot of explicit when really what you need to be focusing on is getting chucky back to his roots Making him scary again making the whole concept of this whole idea scary again That's not to say we can't have comedy here and there because I do expect this series to be kind of goofy I'm expecting it But still have those serious moments make them believable Make it all blend and work together because diamond seni has done this in the past with the other entries. He's done it plenty of times Bright of chucky was a good example of something you could see from a tv series Maybe go a bit more dark with this route since we are landing on sci-fi And I know sci-fi has they've had a few successful horror series in the past So I think this would be a good addition for the sci-fi channel. It'll be good exposure for them Because a lot of the stuff on sci-fi as far as like their original movies I think it's I think everyone agrees that those movies are utter trash So it'll be nice to see something different But they always they always have like they've had like some decent television series in the past I haven't watched all of the television series on sci-fi Um, but I've enjoyed a couple of them the ones that I have watched. So I think chucky the addition of chucky to their Series lineup will be a good spot for them and it'll be a good spot to get some exposure for this tv series I'm excited to see The uh return of chucky even though it's going to be on the small screen I am going to see the reboot when it comes out this summer and I will be doing My review and my thoughts on it when that comes out as well Uh, what do you guys think about chucky going to the sci-fi channel?
