After many sequels and spin-offs, it’s hard to imagine where the Chucky franchise could go next, but Child’s Play creator Don Mancini certainly has an idea as he teases potential plans to launch the killer doll into outer space.
In an interview withScreenRant, when asked about comments he previously made about a potential Chucky in Space venture, Mancini responded, “Everyone’s asking me that question! So, MY question is, ‘Do you want him to go to space? Do you personally want him to go?' If there’s enough of a demand for that, eventually - I don’t know how quickly - I have an idea for that.”
The subgenre-shifting comment is right. The doll has transcended nicely onto modern television with the introduction ofChuckythe TV show which welcomes back our beloved doll as well as franchise favorite Jennifer Tilly. The series, which has spanned three seasons so far, follows a trail of gruesome murders that take place after an old Chucky doll turns up at a yard sale. However, with the direction the show is taking, it is hard to see Chucky plummet into the cosmos during the series, which makes us believe a Chucky in Space movie is more likely.
