Summary
Chucky season 3 filming began on April 27, 2023, but was likely interrupted by a SAG-AFTRA strike, causing confusion on the show's return date.
Chucky season 3 has been confirmed and will debut on SyFy and USA networks on October 4, 2023. The new episodes will be available for streaming on Peacock the following day.

Chucky season 3 has been confirmed, and fans are eagerly awaiting information about the returning cast, story details, and other news regarding the upcoming season. Chucky is a continuation of the popular Child's Play franchise, which centers around a murderous doll. The original 1988 movie introduced the concept of serial killer Charles Lee Ray transferring his spirit into a Good Guy doll through a ritual. The film franchise has since expanded with six more installments (excluding a 2019 remake). The Chucky TV series takes place after the events of the 2017 movie Cult of Chucky, and it premiered on both Syfy and USA Network in October 2021. In this spinoff, the titular doll brings terror to Charles Lee Ray's hometown in New Jersey.
Characters from the Child's Play movies, including Tiffany Valentine and Nica Pierce, make appearances in Chucky seasons 1 and 2, further adding to the chaos. Moreover, there are multiple versions of Chucky as he continuously possesses other people and dolls. In season 1, Chucky embarks on a killing spree and tries to take over hospitals. As 14-year-old Jake Wheeler and his friends grapple with the aftermath of the trauma caused by Chucky in the first season, the title character manipulates them, attempting to push them towards becoming murderers themselves. Viewers can watch Chucky on various streaming platforms and anticipate the release of Chucky season 3 following the success of its violent and thrilling second season.
