The Chucky TV series was the best entry in the Child's Play franchise but it's just been brutally canceled at Peacock

Chucky the Doll.

Chucky is a bit of an outlier when it comes to horror. Usually, you can't beat the original movie, and any sequels or TV adaptations pale in comparison – check out TechRadar's ranking of every Chucky movie. But the Peacock series impressed critics so much that it has a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score, placing it above the 1988 movie Child's Play. With this in mind, it really is a shame that the horror hit has been canceled.

The adaptation ran for three successful seasons before it was announced that it would not continue, with The Hollywood Reporter announcing they had pulled the plug on the killer doll. While previous attempts to deactivate Chucky did not go so well, unfortunately, they've finally done it. For now, at least.
