For reasons we won’t spoil here (suffice to say, it’s all Chucky’s fault), the three surviving teens from season one—Jake, Devon, and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind)—get sent to a Catholic Church-run reform school early in season two. It’s a smart move for Chucky, giving the kids new challenges away from their parents (honestly, most of their parents are dead after season one… again, Chucky’s fault) while also allowing Mancini, who was raised Catholic, a chance for some cheeky commentary about religious institutions. On top of that, the school brings in some new characters, including a priest played by Devon Sawa (who portrayed two now-deceased characters in season one… yes, the show winks at the audience about that) and a nun played by Lara Jean Chorostecki, who worked with Mancini on Hannibal, another horror fan-favorite series.
