Don Mancini‘s “Chucky” is off to a strong start with its second season, which thus far has premiered the first three episodes. “Chucky” Season 2 has already taken some wild turns, introducing wacky new versions of the killer doll and even teasing the arrival of Glen and Glenda, but how many horror fans have been tuning in to watch the madness unfold?
Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that across all platforms and including repeats, the total viewers for the “Chucky” Season 2 premiere is up to 4.6 million this week!
The “Chucky” Season 2 premiere first aired on Wednesday, October 5 on USA & SYFY, with roughly 335,000 viewers tuning in live on SYFY and roughly 320,000 tuning in live on USA.
In these past two weeks since the premiere, in other words, around 4 million more fans got around to watching Chucky’s return to the small screen, which is a massive win for the horror icon. Horror is currently dominating the box office and the small screen, with icons including Chucky, Michael Myers, Pinhead and Art the Clown all returning for the Halloween season.
And when horror is as hot as this, we ALL win. The genre is thriving, to say the least.
In the Season 2 premiere, “A year after seemingly defeating their nemesis Chucky, the “3 Amigos” Jake (Zackary Arthur), Devon (Bjorgvin Arnarson), and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind) begin receiving mysterious, threatening calls from an all-too-familiar-sounding enemy.”
Watch new episodes of “Chucky” on Wednesdays at 9/8c on SYFY and USA Network.
