 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we're gonna be talking about the child's play TV series the Chucky TV series that we know is a game coming to the USA sci-fi network later this fall on October 12th What I wanted to talk about today was the fact that we now know who is going to be portraying a young Charles Lee Ray as a child and the episodes that they will be portraying Charles Lee Ray in Now this news came from bloody disgusting who managed to Find out who the actor was going to be portraying Charles Lee way Charles Lee Ray in the TV series because we know based off of the plot synopsis that has come out we know that we'll be diving into the backstory of Charles Lee Ray and learning perhaps what led him down this path to become the notorious Lakeshore strangler and And just get to I guess feel some type of maybe sympathy for him perhaps even Who knows we're just probably gonna just get to know him a little bit more dig deeper into what made him the monster that he is But I hope it's not just done to the defect where we don't even really see him threatening anymore That's my only thing. I hope we don't get but anyway the actor who will be portraying Chucky Charles Lee Ray in the TV series is David Cole Smith, I believe is how his name is pronounced he's from films like the prodigy and bloody disgusting Revealed this earlier today By the time you're watching this video. It would have been yesterday But it says that while we got a taste of Charles horrific passing curse of Chucky Chucky will dwell or delve deep into the mind of a serial killer as Dorff continues to voice the iconic doll Bloody disgusting learn that David Cole Smith will play a very young Charles Lee Ray in the new series Now what I wanted to do was add on to that and again shout out to Ray. I was tipped off about this back on July 13th and I just never really when it made a video to talk about it I just didn't necessarily feel like talking about about it just yet because things could always have changed But apparently this is something that's locked in and it's official. So since this is official I now want to talk about the caption that you see on this image on your screen This was shared by Chucky 0 to 0 to 1 on Instagram And it says David Cole Smith will be portraying Charles Lee Ray as the child of As the Chucky child in episodes 1 2 and 3 Whether or not that of course is true We'll have to wait and see but I just want to flesh out a little bit more other than what bloody disgusting reported So he will apparently play Charles Lee Ray in episodes 1 2 and 3 So beyond the watch as you're watching this series later this fall to see if in fact this ends up being true And we see him as the young Charles Lee Ray in episodes 1 2 and 3 The other thing that I wanted to talk about briefly was what Don Mancini said during his Hype for the show last week when he was hyping it up and we got our teaser trailer for Something the teasers foot that we know we're gonna be getting later this week when the full trailer comes out at the cinema con at home convention, so Don Mancini actually revealed that The TV series in and of itself is going to be Ten not ten eight episodes instead of ten like we thought it was going to be or that I had thought we're gonna be because of what the IMDB DB page was saying now What may have happened is they decided to cut it from ten to eight for some strange reason, but in a portion of that Quote that I had last time. I'll put it back up on the screen He stated that he appreciates that they have spun a relatively consistent and coherent narrative over the course of 33 years and Seven films and now eight episodes of television So right there he he's he mentions eight episodes of television, so it's not going to be ten Like I had thought it was gonna be because that's what IMDB had listed now again This could be because they decided to cut two episodes and just make it eight for whatever reason or another They decided to cut two episodes in between and just give us eight instead The other thing that was mentioned was kind of what I had already said I want to see He's he talked about the fact that they begin the series Introducing our new story our new our new Malou and then we start to bring the veteran characters into the story And it all comes together for a big showdown Which is how I would want to see this happen like I've already stated I don't want to see this show start out with Jake's character and then become the Andy Barclay Kyle reunion show or catching up with Tiffany and Nika and what's going on with Nika and Tiffany primarily now We need to know these things and of course we want to know what's going on with these characters But I don't want that nostalgic factor to then take over Then the Jake storyline this I want Jake to be our focus. I want Jake to be fleshed out I want us to get to know Jake. We already know these characters. We Haven't had time spent with Andy. It feels like since I want to say Child's play 3 we don't really get to spend a lot of time With Andy I'll say and I don't feel like enough time is spent with that character in Colts of Chucky's definitely not curse if you depending on what cut you watch. He's not even in that movie He's a post-credits scene in the L rated cut. I believe and then if you watch the Rated cut. He's not even there. So I would hope that we When we get to catch up on these characters will learn what they've been going through of course over the years But it's nice to know that the approach they're taking is Developing Jake's story and then they'll factor in the veteran characters and it culminates into a big showdown Which is the methods that I am glad they are taking. That's what I would like to see I do not want to see this show become the Andy Barkley show and how Andy Barkley has been Traumatized for the past who knows how long and then Jake becomes a footnote. It's like well, don't do that Well, finish Jake's story. Don't don't only start Jake's story Let Jake be the entire focus for quite some time. You can keep the veteran characters I don't know how long they'll be able to keep making them interesting until we just want to see Jake's story primarily I would hope what does not happen is that Jake becomes so uninteresting that we clamor to see more of the veteran characters We definitely don't want that But I'm glad that's the approach you're taking. It's apparently gonna be eight episodes We now know who is going to be playing the young Chucky Charles Lee Ray and we have an idea or speculation based off of that Instagram post of what episodes that'll be occurring in that'll be Happening apparently in episodes one two and three So we'll see if that ends up being true when this series airs later this October on October 12th But let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below Are you still looking forward to the Chucky TV series?
