CHUCKY - CATCHING UP WITH STARS DEVON SAWA and ZACHARY ARTHUR

Get your Halloween on with “Chucky.” The killer doll is back and scarier than ever in the new series based on the popular “Child’s Play” movie franchise.

 In the new television series, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos after a vintage ‘Good Guy’ doll turns up at a suburban yard sale. Soon, everyone must grapple with a series of horrifying murders that begin to expose the town’s deep hypocrisies and hidden secrets. Meanwhile, friends and foes from Chucky’s past creep back into his world and threaten to expose the truth behind his mysterious origins as a seemingly ordinary child who somehow became this notorious monster.

Devon Sawa plays Logan and Lucas Wheeler in the new SYFY/USA Network series “Chucky.” Born in Vancouver, Sawa is an industry veteran having got his start in such films as “Casper,” “Now and Then” and “Little Giants.” He’s co-starred in the horror franchise “Final Destination” as well as “Idle Hands,” “SLC Punk,” “Punk’s Dead” and “Hunter Hunter.” On the TV side, Sawa has had roles on “Nikita,” alongside Maggie Q, as well as “McGyver,” “Hawaii 5-0” and, coming up, “Magnum PI.”

Zackary Arthur’s career jumpstarted when he got one of the young leads in the feature film THE FIFTH WAVE, opposite Chloë Grace Moretz. His television debut was a recurring role on the Emmy-winning Amazon series, TRANSPARENT, for all five seasons. Zackary has subsequently starred in thirty film and television projects, including starring roles opposite Jim Carrey in KIDDING, Nicholas Cage and Selma Blair in MOM AND DAD, Natasha Henstridge in Hero Dog: The Journey Home. His latest film, JILL, is expected to be released in the summer of 2021.

Chucky can be seen on Tuesdays at 10pm on Showcase in Canada.
