The series stars Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay, Alyvia Alyn Lind as Lexy Taylor, Barbara Alyn Woods as Michelle Cross, Bjorgvin Arnarson as Devon Lopez, Christine Elise McCarthy as Kyle, Devon Sawa as Logan Wheeler, Fiona Dourif as Nica, Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany Valentine, Teo Briones as Junior Webber, and Zackary Arthur as Jake Webber, with Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky.
The show is written and created by Don Mancini, who wrote all the original films in the ‘Child’s Play’ universe, and went to write on ‘Hannibal’ and ‘Channel Zero’. Mancini also serves as showrunner and exec produces alongside David Kirschner (‘Hocus Pocus’, ‘Frailty’), and Nick Antosca (‘The Act’, ‘Channel Zero’) via his banner Eat the Cat, through his overall deal with studio UCP, who produce the drama. Emmy-nominated Harley Peyton (‘Twin Peaks’, ‘Channel Zero’) will also serve as executive producer.
