Is There a ‘Chucky’ Season 4 Release Date?

After experiencing three spine-chilling seasons of horror TV, fans of Chucky are now anticipating a fourth season. There is no concrete news about a renewal as of now, but all signs do point towards a potential season 4 release in 2025.

Back in first week of April, Don Mancini, the creator of the show, revealed his big plans for the horror franchise, hinting at an overlap between a new Chucky movie and season 4. Mancini’s comments sound positive with regards to the TV series:

We’re hoping to get a season 4 of the show. Fingers crossed. I pitched the idea already to the network, so we’re hoping on that, but I’m also in the early stages of developing a new movie now, and the movie is designed to work in tandem with the show. That’s what we hope in our dream of conquering the universe, is that we can keep expanding the Chucky-verse in this way. That’s my hope so we’ll see what happens
