Jennifer Tilly, Zackary Arthur, Teo Briones, Alvia Alyn, Bjorgvin Arnarson and Devon Sawa have all joined the cast of the Syfy and USA Network series “Chucky”.
Don Mancini is behind the show which is a continuation of the original 1988 “Child’s Play” film and its six sequels. Mancini will serve as showrunner and executive producer in addition to directing the first episode.
The story begins with a vintage Chucky doll’s appearance at a suburban yard sale in an idyllic American town. As a series of horrifying murders begin to expose hypocrisies and secrets, and the town is thrown into chaos.
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.
Tilly will reprise her role as Tiffany, bride of Chucky and mother to their twin spawn Glen and Glenda. Arthur is set as the loner Jake Webber who makes for an easy target for Chucky. Briones is set as Junior Webber, Jake’s all-American jock cousin. Arnarson is set as Devon Lopez, a true-crime junkie. Lind is set as Lexy Taylor, Junior’s girlfriend who bullies Jake. Sawa’s role is under wraps.
David Kirschner, Nick Antosca and Harley Peyton executive produce.
