The first teaser for Don Mancini’s Chucky series is just 20 seconds long, ahead of a full trailer set to debut next week during Comic-Con@Home. But it gives us everything we want, namely: the shining return of the O.G. Chucky (with his iconic laugh reminding us Brad Dourif is back voicing the character), who looks good as new and wastes no time in arming himself with the nearest butcher knife.
This is exactly why you should be very cautious about picking up random creepy dolls at garage sales! But there’s more to the story than that, as it turns out. While you don’t get too much about the plot from the brief clip below, Mancini spoke more about Chucky in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. “The main character is a 14-year-old gay boy who’s bullied and sort of lost after the recent death of his mother,” Mancini told EW. “He’s a young artist [making] sculptures with doll parts. He finds Chucky at a yard sale and buys him, but it turns out that he gets much more than he bargained for.”
