Sneak Peek at Next Week’s “Chucky” Teases the Return of Andy and…Kyle?! [Video]
Syfy’s ongoing Child’s Play series is jam-packed full of surprises and last night’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 “Chucky”, the new series that’s insanely canon. So much so that nearly everyone is returning.
We got our hands on the promo for week’s episode, “Cape Queer”, which gives us our first look at Alex Vincent‘s return as Andy Barclay, the young boy from the very first Child’s Play (1988) film. Even more surprising, there’s a flashed shot of Christine Elise as Kyle in Child’s Play 2. Elise made a surprise appearance at the very end of Cult of Chucky, where she discovers Chucky’s decapitated and extremely mutilated head. Will she be showing up in “Chucky”?
Furthermore, will this eventually lead to the return of Andy’s mother, Karen (Catherine Hicks), who nearly appeared in the opening sequence in Cult of Chucky? There are only three episodes left as “Chucky” continues next Tuesday, only on Syfy.
Himesh Patel (Tenet, Don’t Look Up) will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) in Ryan Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files“, which has wrapped filming on the pilot.
Patel confirmed the news in a chat with The Direct, while reiterating that he and Deadwyler play new characters.
“I don’t want to say anything that’s going to get me disappeared. Needless to say, myself and Danielle Deadwyler are playing completely new characters, and we just wrapped on the pilot. If we get to do more… we’ll see where we go from there,” Patel said.
That last sentence is noteworthy, as Patel is reminding that Hulu has only ordered the pilot so far. A full series order has yet to be greenlit.
It’s a good reminder, considering that Hulu also ordered a pilot for the “Buffy: New Sunnydale” reboot that was filmed and delivered earlier this year, only for the streamer to send shockwaves when it opted not to move forward with the series.
As for “The X-Files” pilot, Sinners filmmaker Ryan Coogler writes and directs the pilot. Jennifer Yale (“The Copenhagen Test”) serves as showrunner.
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Patel and Deadwyler previously co-starred together on “Station Eleven.”
Other actors who have signed on for guest roles include Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two additional seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. 218 episodes were produced in total, along with two feature films: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
