Chucky's murderous days are over — at least for now. The series, based on the classic horror movie franchise, will not return for a fourth season on Syfy and USA Network. The news comes four months after Part 2 of Chucky's third season aired its finale on both NBCUniversal cable networks.
Series creator/executive producer Don Mancini had been looking to carry on. He revealed in April that he had pitched a fourth season, saying at the time that "it's something I really like to do". His enthusiasm helped spring the #RenewChucky fan campaign, which has been rallying support for Season 4.
"I'm heartbroken over the news that Chucky won't be coming back for a fourth season but am so grateful for the killer three years we did have", Mancini said. "I'd like to thank UCP/Syfy/Peacock/Eat the Cat, our awesome cast and Toronto-based crew — the best in the business — and finally, to our amazing fans, a big bloody hug. Your incredible #RenewChucky campaign really warmed Chucky's cold heart. Chucky will return! He ALWAYS comes back."
This marks an end of an era for Syfy — Chucky was the last higher-end, UCP-produced original scripted series on the network. The other one, Resident Alien, recently moved to USA with a significant budget reduction.
