‘Chucky’ TV series premiere, episode 1 (10/12/21): How to watch, livestream, time, date, channel

Chucky is back just in time to play this Halloween.

The “Chucky” TV series premieres tonight. Here are the many ways you can watch the new horror series based on the iconic horror movie villain.

The “Chucky” series is the sequel to the film “Cult of Chucky,” continuing the franchise that started with the cult classic “Child’s Play” (1988). The show is the seventh installment in the popular franchise, which also includes “Bride of Chucky” (1998) and “Seed of Chucky” (2004).

According to Rotten Tomatoes, “Before Annabelle of the “Conjuring” movie series, there was another terrifying doll. After a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begins to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets. Meanwhile, the arrival of enemies and allies from Chucky’s past threatens to expose the truth behind the killings, as well as the demon doll’s untold origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster.”

According to Rotten Tomatoes, here’s the ominous synopsis of the series premiere: “When teen Jake Wheeler buys a vintage doll at a yard sale, his young life changes forever.”
