“Chucky”: Andy and Kyle from the Original ‘Child’s Play’ Movies Return in Images from Next Week’s Episode!
Syfy’s ongoing Child’s Play series is jam-packed full of surprises and this past Tuesday’s episode fired on all cylinders.
Franchise creator Don Mancini took the reigns with Seed of Chucky and has since carved out a funhouse of horrors that continued through a handful of sequels and now “Chucky”, the new series that’s insanely canon. So much so that nearly everyone is returning. That includes Tiffany and Nica, who made their return to the franchise in this week’s episode.
We got our hands on several images for next week’s episode, “Cape Queer”, which gives us a new look at Alex Vincent‘s return as Andy Barclay, the young boy from the very first Child’s Play (1988) film. It also offers up our very first look at and confirmation of Christine Elise‘s return as Kyle from Child’s Play 2.
As you might recall, Elise made a surprise appearance at the very end of Cult of Chucky, where she discovers Chucky’s decapitated and extremely mutilated head.
There are only three episodes left as “Chucky” continues next Tuesday, on Syfy and USA.

“Golden Axe”: Sega Genesis Video Game Becomes an Animated Series at Comedy Central
You know video game adaptations are hot when even Golden Axe is making the leap to the screen. And indeed it is, with Deadline reporting that the Sega Genesis video game franchise that debuted back in 1989 is getting an animated series at Comedy Central.
Comedy Central has given “Golden Axe” a 10-episode order, Deadline reports today.
The voice cast for the animated series from CBS Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television and Original Film includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) and Carl Tart (Grand Crew).
“Described as a hilarious and loving homage to Sega’s video game series, Golden Axe follows veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder who just won’t seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib on their side.”
Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!) will co-write the first episode and executive produce the series, with Chandler serving as showrunner.
The original Golden Axe video game was released in 1989, followed by sequels in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The series got a modern day upgrade with Golden Axe: Beast Rider in 2008.
