Syfy has decided to adapt the infamous Chucky into a television series that is sure to be as scary as the film franchise.

Originally appearing in the 1988 film Child’s Play, the character took on a life of its own, spurning six sequels. 2019’s Child’s Play was a remake of the original and depicted the murderous doll being voiced by Mark Hamill. 

It is not yet known whether Hamill will reprise his role for the television version, which has already been ordered to series by Syfy, but veteran director and screenwriter of all 7 films, Don Mancini, will serve as showrunner. 

“In the new Chucky television series, 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 begin to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets,” reads the official logline.

“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.”

No premiere date for the series has been announced as yet.

The Star Wars actor has signed on to provide the voice of Chucky, which still gives adults in their twenties and thirties the chills.

Orion Pictures is rebooting the series about the evil doll who starred as the main character of the Child’s Play slasher films which first came out in 1988.

The last film in the series was released in 2017, but the Lars Klevberg-directed remake is not expected to be connected in any way.

Hamill will lend his voice to the doll that is given as a gift to Andy, played by Gabriel Bateman, by this single mother played by Aubrey Plaza.

“We feel incredibly lucky to have an icon creating a new take on an iconic character,” producer David Katzenberg said in a statement. “Mark is a gifted actor and celebrated vocal performer, and he’s approached this challenge with incredible energy and commitment.”

This will not be the first time that the 67-year-old voices Chucky as he previously lent his pipes during an episode of Robot Chicken where the sinister toy appeared.

Child’s Play opens on June 21. We’re already terrified.
