The first trailer for the Child's Play spinoff TV series Chucky has been released.

The new show will see a small town rocked by the arrival of the killer doll, who has featured in eight big-screen outings to date.

Somewhat inevitably, inhabitants of the town soon start meeting a sticky end as Chucky goes about his business - although his enemies will resurface to try to bring him down.

Chucky, from the original creator Don Mancini, will air on USA Network and SyFy early next year.
