Announcement
Child's Play 2 was announced in late 2019, when director Lars Klevberg said he'd love to do a sequel if the team was able to. MGM (the distributor of the 2019 Child's Play) gave the team the right budget, and was originally supposed to release in October 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was pushed back to November 2022, and the film is now scheduled to release during that time.

Casting
Lars Klevberg is once again writing and directing this sequel to the 2019 Child's Play, David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith return as producers, and Bear McCeary will return for the score. Most of the actors from the first film will return to their roles for the sequel. Like Mark Hamill as Chucky himself, Gabriel Bateman as Andy Barclay, and Aubrey Plaza as Andy's mother, Karen. Other returing actors include Bryan Tyree Henry, Tim Matheson, Ty Consligio, and Beatrice Kitsos.

Production
Production began in September 21st, 2021 and was announced a week ahead of time that the film will be shot in Wilmington, NC. The last film was shot in Vancouver, and now is given more opportunity when it comes to filming in such a big place in the US. The film hasn't been struggling with production issues of as of today. The script has been written since back in July of 2020, while having it altered of course over time. The cast of the new film seem to like the script that was given to them, including Mark Hamill, who was all for a Child's Play sequel.
