Horror fans were left distraught when Chucky was canceled after three seasons on Syfy and USA Network last month.
However, there may be some hope for the beloved slasher series thanks to a fan-driven campaign that’s gaining traction online.
Since the show was removed, fans have been using the hashtag #SaveChucky on X, formerly Twitter, and have been able to get the term trending multiple times.
Several of the show’s stars have also shared the hashtag, including Jennifer Tilly and Devon Sawa, along with Child’s Play creator Don Mancini.
Chucky star Fiona Dourif recently teased that there’s a chance another network could save the series.

Several stars from the show have shared the hashtag, including Jennifer Tilly and Devon Sawa, along with Child’s Play creator Don Mancini.
‘At this point, what we hope to do and what should be done would be normal for a show as successful as Chucky, because the ratings were solidly good and they got great reviews; “The numbers were great on Peacock, it’s just that it would market to other networks,” he said at Terror Con, as reported by bloody disgusting.
“To the extent that there might be pressure on the powers that be to make that happen, I think everyone involved in making the program would appreciate that.” There is no reason in the world why it shouldn’t be marketed on other networks.
Creator Mancini has already hinted at Chucky’s return, recently posting on X: ‘He’ll be back!’
Tilly, who first appeared in the franchise in Bride Of Chucky (1998), took to Instagram to share her sadness at the cancellation news last month.
‘I am sad to announce that Chucky, the television series has just been cancelled. Go towards the light Tiffany, go towards the light…’, he wrote.
Tilly, who reprized her role as Tiffany Valentine and played herself in the horror series, thanked fans for their support in an X post.
“It is very sad to announce that after three wonderful seasons the television series ‘Chucky’ has finally been cancelled,” the 66-year-old actress began.

‘First I’d like to think about our fans, who managed to keep #RenewChucky trending for MONTHS! Without your loyalty and tenacity, Chucky would never have lasted thirty years!
‘We are very proud of our show. It has been a wonderful miracle to work with this talented cast and crew.
“We were very lucky to have the leadership of our brilliant captain Don Mancini,” she added, before revealing that she also believed Chucky was down, but not out yet.
“But (to quote Call of Duty) we’re ‘down but not out,'” Tilly stated. ‘Resurrections are Chucky’s specialty and he has a lot of them!’
He ended the post by promoting all three seasons, which are considered the eighth main installment of the Child’s Play franchise and are available to stream on Peacock.
Devon Sawa, 46, who has played a variety of characters over the show’s three seasons, also expressed confidence that the franchise will return in the future.
‘CHUCKY NEVER ENDS!! …It just reappears,’ Sawa declared.
‘I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: this series was some of the most fun I’ve ever had filming. I’m sad, but excited to see where it goes. BREAK.’
