by It looks like Chucky season 4 won’t happen after all. Creator Don Mancini revealed in a statement that the horror-comedy series starring the killer doll will end after three seasons after USA and Syfy declined to renew it.
“I am heartbroken by the news that ‘Chucky’ will not be returning for a fourth season, but I am so grateful for the wonderful three years we did have,” Mancini said in a statement to THR.
“I’d like to thank UCP/SYFY/Peacock/Eat the Cat, our amazing Toronto cast and crew (the best in the business), and finally, to our amazing fans, a big, bloody hug. Your incredible #RenewChucky campaign has truly warmed Chucky’s cold heart. Chucky is coming back! He ALWAYS comes back.”
Jennifer Tilly also paid tribute to Chucky: “We are really proud of our show. It was an amazing wonder to work with this talented cast and crew. We were lucky to have the direction of our brilliant Captain Don Mancini. But ( to quote Call of Duty) we are ‘down but not out’. Resurrections are Chucky’s specialties and he has a lot of them!”
So sad to announce that after three wonderful seasons, the television series “Chucky” has finally been canceled.
First of all, I would like to think of our fans, who succeeded in the #RenewChucky hashtag trending for MONTHS! Without your loyalty and tenacity, Chucky would never…

Chucky originally premiered in 2021, with the second part of the third and final season beginning in 2024. We wrote in our review of the premiere, “Chucky does a great job translating the Child’s Play formula to television.”
Unfortunately for fans, Chucky Season 3 ended on a cliffhanger, and it’s unclear if this will ever be resolved. Mancini apparently had several plans in mind for season 4, but those will have to wait for now. In the meantime, check out the rest of the biggest TV shows coming in 2024.
