The trailer for Chucky season 2 confirms that Glen/Glenda will be making their entrance as human teenagers. The series acts as a continuation of the film franchise, picking up where 2017’s Cult of Chucky left off. The return of the killer doll’s twins was teased throughout Chucky season 1 with references from Chucky to his “queer and gender-fluid kid,” and a mention from Tiffany of the “exquisite” bomb her daughter gifted her. It was previously revealed that both twins would be played by Chilling Adventure of Sabrina’s Lachlan Watson.
The clip Syfy screened at Comic-Con over the weekend shows the survivors of Chucky season 1 adjusting to life at their new Catholic school. It’s quickly revealed that Chucky isn’t finished terrorizing them: he strangles a priest with a metal chain, attacks one of the school’s nuns, and calls Jake (Zackary Arthur) to let him know that he and his friends are next. Meanwhile, Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) welcomes Glen/Glenda home with open arms after they pull up to her house sporting a “THEY THEM” license plate. Watch the official trailer for Season 2 below:
It remains to be seen how prominently the twins will be featured this season, but bringing them to the series as humans is already a faithful start. Critics and longtime fans praised Chucky season 1 for retaining the movies’ meta-campiness and its commitment to featuring many original Child’s Play vets, including Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) and Nica (Fiona Dourif). Don Mancini set out to craft a series that honored his horror classic rather than opting to cash in on a loose extension of a popular franchise. If he sticks to that, it’s safe to say thatChucky season 2 will be worth tuning in for on October 5.
