Chucky TV Series Ended on a Major Cliffhanger That May Never Get Resolved

The Chucky TV series has been cancelled by SYFY and USA Network, and if that wasn’t bad enough the TV show ended with a major cliffhanger setting up the next story in the franchise. Fans of the series have been wondering when they will get answers about the fate of the show and an unceremonious cancellation on a Friday night was the final result. Now comes an even bigger question, when will the Chucky franchise pick up the pieces that were left behind in the Chucky season 3 (now series) finale? For those that need a refresher, or are wondering how the series managed to twist itself into a wild pretzel, here’s what went down in the series finale of the Chucky TV series. 

An earlier episode of Chucky season 3 featured Jake being given a drug to temporarily “die” and enter the Spirit Realm. Thanks to Chucky’s years of splitting his soul there are countless versions of him sitting in the Spirit Realm, but Jake is after just one of them, Good Chucky. Jake hopes to find this variant so that he’ll help him find Caroline, Lexy’s sister who has been missing since the end of Chucky season 2. 

When Jake finds Good Chucky he’s very quickly able to get the location of Caroline out of him, with Good Chucky revealing that “She’s with Grandfather Wendell,” meaning Wendell Wilkins, the creator of the Good Guy doll. Jake then presents Good Chucky with a major question, if he kills himself inside the Spirit Realm, it will force the other Chuckys to cross over and end his reign of terror for good. This is of course when the series drops its first big twist, Good Chucky wasn’t Good Chucky at all, just another Chucky that was deliberately stalling Jake, allowing Chucky to inhabit his body when he is woken up outside the Spirit Realm. 

Elsewhere, away from The White House, as you might have guessed, Tiffany is able to escape her execution thanks to having brainwashed the guards on Death Row.

After Jake, Devon, and Lexy leave The White House they head for Wendell Wilkins’s house where the trap is officially sprung and it’s revealed that Chucky not only took over Jake’s body but that Wendell Wilkins is also in on the scheme. The creator of the Good Guy Doll has also provided Chucky with something extra special, the original prototype doll for the Good Guy, which Chucky transfers his soul into. 

Another guest makes their way to Wendell’s house though, the recently escaped Tiffany Valentine in Jennifer Tilly’s body. Chucky finally makes an honest woman out of her too by proposing marriage, with Wendell Wilkins revealing he still has the prototype for her doll as well. The pair return to their doll forms and run away in Tiffany Valentine’s car, driven by Caroline, while making out in the backseat.

There’s one last trick up creator Don Mancini’s sleeve though, and it’s that Chucky and Tiffany weren’t the only ones that got put into doll bodies. Jake, Devon, and Lexi have all been put inside doll bodies, and they’re locked in a cabinet in Wendell Wilkins’s house. They’re only discovered by Nica, who has tracked Tiffany to the house, who is also captured by Wilkins as the episode comes to a close.

What is Chucky season 4 about?

Chucky has been cancelled after its fourth season. But series creator Don Mancini has already revealed he’s writing the script for the next Chucky movie. So what plot threads are left on the table for the franchise to work with? Not only are Chucky and Tiffany back in their doll bodies and reunited, but they’re both apparently eager to reunite with GG, their child from Seed of Chucky that was last seen in Chucky season 2. Add on to that the fact that the show’s three leads are ALSO in doll bodies and you have a very hilarious cliffhanger that Don Mancini will have to wiggle his way out of. Plus there’s also the fact that the President of the United States is dead and Chucky nuked the North Pole.

Where is Chucky streaming?

The first two seasons of Chucky are available for streaming on two different platforms, both Peacock and Shudder. All sixteen episodes of the series, including both seasons 1 and 2, can be streamed on each of these services. Chucky season 3 is currently only available on Peacock.
