It looks like USA and Syfy’s Chucky series might actually be gearing up to start shooting, at long last. Collider reports today that Devon Sawa, star of Final Destination (and, recently the bizarre John Travolta/Fred Durst thriller The Fanatic) has signed on for a regular recurring role in the show, which is being developed by original Child’s Play creator Don Mancini and Channel Zero’s Nick Acosta. For those of you keeping track, this new series is wholly separate from the Child’s Play reboot from a few years back, right down to bringing Brad Dourif back to play its signature murder doll, rather than Mark Hamill, who voiced him in the 2019 film. (Also, we’re reportedly back in evil voodoo territory, not smart tech gone awry.)
