Last night’s “Chucky” Season 3 finale closed some doors and opened several others, delivering a wildly satisfying final hour that we won’t spoil here for anyone who hasn’t been able to watch yet. On that note, the Season 3 finale is now streaming on Peacock… get on it!

The “Chucky” Season 3 finale ended with the lovable killer doll breaking the fourth wall and directly addressing the fans, officially announcing that, well, he’s running for a fourth term!

In line with the season’s White House setting, Chucky’s bid for a fourth term was essentially Don Mancini’s fun way of saying he’d love to do a fourth season, but it sounds like “Chucky” fans are going to have to let their voices be heard if they share that same desire.

“Tonight, I am proud to officially announce my candidacy for a fourth consecutive term,” Chucky revealed in the final moments of last night’s season finale. “Donations to my campaign can be made directly to the number you now see on your screen. But, if you have any doubts at all, I ask you to please consider the many accomplishments of my hugely successful third term. Thank you, goodnight, and god bless each and every one of you. Except Devon.”

The number that flashed on the screen? 1-201-500-3347

Calling the number will deliver a short message from Chucky to your phone, wherein the horror icon asks you to show your support for Season 4 by sharing an included graphic (below).

From what we gather, “Chucky” hasn’t yet been officially renewed for a fourth season, but the creative team is hoping that enough fans will show up to make sure it does soon happen.

So call that number, share the graphic, and let’s bring Chucky back to television!

“1313” – James Wan Producing Horror Reboot of ‘The Munsters’

In the wake of Rob Zombie’s direct-to-video movie The Munsters back in 2022, Universal has now announced “1313,” a brand new small screen reboot of the iconic television series.

Developed and produced by James Wan’s company Atomic Monster, the new Universal horror series is said to be “a reimagining of the 1964 classic sitcom The Munsters that lives and breathes within the Universal Monsterverse.”

Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) will serve as the showrunner for “1313.” The title is of course a reference to the Munster family’s address, 1313 Mockingbird Lane.

Deadline notes in their report, “The project is being developed by James Wan, Beer, and Ingrid Bisu for UCP. Atomic Monster and LAB BREW are the production companies.”

Executive producers are Lindsey Anderson Beer and James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster. Ingrid Bisu is a co-exec producer on the upcoming series.

If you want to revisit the original series, “The Munsters” is streaming on Peacock. That series ran for just two seasons between 1964 and 1966, spawning several feature films and a sequel television series titled “The Munsters Today” (1988 – 1991). More recently, Bryan Fuller’s “Mockingbird Lane” reimagined the series for NBC, but never made it past a pilot episode.

While various actors have played the roles across the decades, the core of “The Munsters” has largely remained the same, with the various shows and movies documenting the wacky lives of the lovable family of monsters. What does a “dark reimagining” entail, you ask?

We expect to find out more soon. Stay tuned.
