Shows that feel likeChucky (2021–2024)
If you loved Chucky, the closest series we have are Evil (2019), Scream: The TV Series (2015) and Scream Queens (2015). All three share Chucky's twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Alienist (2018).
If Chucky hit the spot, these will too
Possession taken seriously enough to be funny and frightening in one scene
The difference: Grown-up investigators and slow dread, not a doll working through a list
A town picked apart by a killer who knows everyone's secrets
The difference: Straight teen slasher, no sense of humour about itself
Slasher rules played for laughs, with awful people dispatched stylishly
The difference: Sorority satire and one-liners over all, and no long-running mythology
Common ground in both: possession and serial killer
The difference: Trades the wit of Chucky for an angle of its own
Both are built on the same subject: halloween
The difference: Takes it somewhere less gritty than Chucky does
An object left at a murder scene that becomes the whole case
The difference: Nordic procedural, grim and completely straight-faced
Murder investigated by amateurs, with jokes and affection between the bodies
The difference: Cozy and bloodless — the fun is puzzle-solving, not gore and camp
Genuine affection for its own silly, malevolent premise
The difference: Gentle fantasy comedy — nothing dies unpleasantly
Twisty and dread-soaked in the same breath
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Chucky does
A killer picked apart by outsiders the authorities will not listen to
The difference: 1896 period detection, sombre and slow
An investigation that only works once you accept the impossible
The difference: Slow, sad and adult — no jokes anywhere
Suburban murders that drag every neighborly secret into the light
The difference: Dead-serious prestige drama — none of the gleeful slasher camp
