SyFy has unveiled the first look at season 3 of the horror-comedy show "Chucky".

 The show is returning next month to its homes at SyFy and the USA Network as well as Peacock where episodes will be available for streaming the following day. 

While a previously released clip teased that this season would see the pint-sized killer doll striking out for political power in Washington, DC, a fresh trailer gives fans a fuller look at what’s to come.

The second season of the Don Mancini-created series ended on a sorrowful note for our three main characters — Jake (Zackary Arthur), Devon (Björgvin Arnarson), and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind) after Chucky (Brad Dourif) crashed the trio’s Christmas celebrations. 

Splitting Lexy’s mom in half with a chainsaw, Chucky and Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) took off with Lexy’s little sister, Caroline (Carina Battrick). 

The finale saw Caroline and Tiffany in New York City with a surprise reveal that Chucky has transferred his soul into the Bell doll.

The season three sneak peek ditches Chucky’s life in Hackensack, New Jersey, and sees him in the Oval Office alongside none other than the US President (played by Devon Sawa). 

It’s not clear how Chucky ended up in Washington and how/if the gang from the last two seasons will appear.

Since Mancini first released Child’s Play in 1988, the lore surrounding the possessed doll has grown out of the box and into seven films and a successful television show. Making it a collaborative — and family — affair, Mancini has continued to work with the likes of Dourif and Tilly, adding Dourif’s daughter, Fiona Dourif to the mix in 2013’s Curse of Chucky. 

Other fan-favorite characters including Chucky’s original friend ‘till the end, Alex Vincent’s Andy Barclay, and Child’s Play 2 star, Christine Elise, have also returned to the fold. With more than three decades of backstory to work with, we can’t wait to see what Mancini comes up with in the latest installment of the series and beyond.

"Chucky" season 3 will premiere at 9 p.m. ET/PT, on Oct. 4, on Syfy and USA. The episodes will be available the next day on Peacock.
