The first season was a success and follows teenager Jake Wheeler (Zachary Arthur) as he grieves the death of his father, falls in love with Devon Evans (Björgvin Arnarson), and realizes that the creepy doll Chucky has become a terrifying and dangerous part of his life.

Non-binary actor Lachlan Watson shared on the SyFy Twitter account, “I’m here to let you know that Glen and Glenda are back in Chucky season 2 and I will see you twice this fall.” The Chucky SyFy TV series is excellent and has been well-received by fans and critics. Joe Pantoliano, Sutton Stracke from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Gina Gershon will also join the season 2 cast.
In the 1998 film Bride of Chucky, Tiffany gives birth to a baby, and while she’s supposed to have twins, she only has one infant and the other one sometimes takes control. In 2004’s Seed of Chucky, Glen/Glenda explains that they are gender fluid.
In the Chucky TV series, Chucky tells Jake that they support and love their child and when Jake asks if they’re okay with it, Chucky responds, “I’m not a monster, Jake.” This is one reason why Chucky endures as a great doll character. It will be great to see Glen/Glenda join the TV series as this will add another layer to the series, which is already a smart examination of how Chucky continues his killing spree in a small town while manipulating children to be friends with him. Since the series has brought in many elements of the horror franchise, Glen/Glenda should definitely be part of it.
Glen/Glenda stands out as they don’t enjoy hurting people like their parents. In Seed of Chucky, they ask “Isn’t violence bad?” In another scene, Tiffany asks “What do you want, sweetface?” and Glen/Glenda says, “I think… I want to be a boy. But… being a girl would be nice, too.” When Chucky asks “which is it?” Glen/Glenda replies, “I’m not. Sometimes I feel like a boy. Sometimes I feel like a girl. Can I be both?”
Lachlan Watson’s previous credits include trans character Theo Putnam in Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Kyle in Nashville. Watson’s IMDb page also lists The Kiss List as an upcoming project.
Theo Putnam is best friends with Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) and comes out as trans. Sabrina is caring and is always there for Theo, making sure that they can join the basketball team at school. Rosalind Walker (Jaz Sinclair) is another support system for Theo.
Season 2 of Chucky will premiere in the fall of 2022, according to the SyFy website.
