The American cable channels Syfy and USA Network have renewed Chucky for a third season. The media companies announced the decision during the ongoing Television Critics Association's Winter Press Tour.
Chucky is a horror television show that debuted in October 2021. The series is based on the Don Mancini-created Child's Play film franchise that premiered in 1988. It is a sequel to the seventh film in the series titled Cult of Chucky which was released in 2017.
With a 91% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Chucky's first two seasons have been well-received by critics. The second season was also highly popular with viewers and it ranked as a top 10 cable drama for the 18 – 49 demographic in 2022. Given its popularity, it is only natural that Syfy and USA Network renew it for another season, if not more.
On the renewal, Mancini had the following to say, "The cast and crew of Chucky would like to thank fans and critics alike for their overwhelming response to Season 2, which we're delighted to announce has now spurred the official greenlight on Season 3. This news has made Chucky very happy. Thank Damballa for that because otherwise Chucky would have been frankly impossible to deal with. Many thanks also to our partners at Syfy, USA and UCP for helping us keep Chucky busy. See you in 2023 for what Chucky himself promises will be his scariest season ever."
