What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Syfy and USA Network cable channels, the Chucky TV show stars Zackary Arthur, Björgvin Arnarson, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and Brad Dourif with Fiona Dourif, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise, Jennifer Tilly, Devon Sawa, and Barbara Alyn Woods in recurring roles. In the story, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos after a vintage “Good Guy” doll turns up at a suburban yard sale and is purchased by teen Jake Wheeler (Arthur). It turns out to be none other than Chucky (Dourif), a doll that holds the soul of a deceased and vicious serial killer. Soon, everyone in the town must grapple with a series of horrifying murders that begin to expose the town’s deep hypocrisies and hidden secrets. Chucky crosses paths with archenemies, old allies, and new prey, as he seeks to inspire fear and mayhem wherever he goes. After his diabolical plan to invade America’s children’s hospitals was foiled, Chucky now seeks revenge on those he holds responsible — Jake, Devon (Arnarson), and Lexy (Lind), along with his ex Tiffany, now his sworn enemy. Meanwhile, “Jevon” try to make it as a couple in the face of adversity at their new Catholic school, not to mention a brand-new onslaught of terror from the demon doll.
Season Two Ratings
On Syfy, the second season of Chucky averaged a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 224,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 40% in the demo and down by 34% in viewership.
On USA Network, the second season of Chucky averaged a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 249,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 19% in the demo and down by 20% in viewership.
While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how Chucky stacks up against other Syfy TV shows.
Chucky has been renewed for a third season which will debut on October 4, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Syfy and USA Network cancel or renew Chucky for season three? The show is based on an established brand and has performed well for Syfy. Episodes are simulcast on USA (which currently doesn’t have any other scripted series), making the show even more lucrative. I think there’s a very good chance that Chucky will be renewed for a third year. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Chucky cancellation or renewal news.

You know this is odd the show was set up for 25 episodes. When the show was first bought. So by doing an 8 episodes season 1 and an 9 episodes season 2. If season 3 is 8 episodes like season 1 was. Then they made the exact number of episodes they wanted. To make when the show was put up originally. It not clear if they will then sale it. Or if they will continue. Because show runs longer than you plan at times. Many don’t get to the point you want. It would be funny if they stop… Read more »
