A few weeks ago, we shared the news that season 1 of the Chucky TV series is coming to Blu-ray in North America on April 12th. Unfortunately, there are only two bonus features: deleted scenes and a featurette called The Legacy of Chucky, which has already been online for a while now. If you’re a Chucky fan who wants a bit more out of the physical media release, you might be interested in picking up the Good Guys Edition that will be released in the UK on May 2nd – and is available for pre-order at THIS LINK. The release is said to be region free.
In addition to the two bonus features that will be on the discs, the Good Guys Edition of Chucky season 1 comes with
Lenticular Slipcase
Chucky Acetate Artcard
4 x Artcards
32-page booklet with character biographies and stills

A follow-up to all of the Child’s Play movies (remake excluded), Chucky picks up where Cult of Chucky left off. Don Mancini, who has written every Child’s Play film (except that remake) and directed a few of them, developed Chucky with producer David Kirschner. Mancini and Kirschner executive produce Chucky with Harley Peyton, Alex Hedlund, and Nick Antosca. Mancini also directed the first episode. The show’s synopsis:
After a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets. Meanwhile, the arrival of enemies and allies from Chucky’s past threatens to expose the truth behind the killings, as well as the demon doll’s untold origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster.
The show stars Zackary Arthur, Fiona Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Devon Sawa, Alex Vincent, Christine Elise, Bjorgvin Arnarson, Jacob Breedon, Lexa Doig, Teo Briones, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Lind’s real-life mother Barbara Alyn Woods, and David Kohlsmith. And yes, Brad Dourif provided the voice of Chucky once again.
A second season of Chucky is officially in the works.
