Writer/director/producer Don Mancini (Chucky franchise) has inked a new deal with Independent Artist Group for representation.

Deadline details, “At IAG, Don Mancini will focus on developing the next iteration of the Chuckyfranchise while also expanding his creative footprint with a slate of original film and television projects; certainly, it feels like we’re overdue for a new Chucky film.”

According to Bloody Disgusting, “Mancini aims to make Chucky scary again, throwing back particularly to the tone of Curse of Chucky as well as the first two original Child’s Play movies.”

“Mancini also plans to bring this new Chucky movie to theaters.”
