Karen decides to get Andy a new, hi-tech Buddi toy that can connect to multiple smart home devices.

The Buddi toy turns out to be a killer known as Chucky, however, who begins to wreak havoc around the city. Chucky is featured hacking into multiple smart devices such as cars and drones in order to kill his victims.

Andy, as the bodies continue to pile up, teams up with other kids his age in order to confront Chucky. Detective Mike Norris (Brian Tyree Henry) is also featured as he begins to investigate Chucky's crime spree.

Child's Play, based on the 1988 film of the same name and directed by Lars Klevberg, is set to arrive in theaters on June 21. Mark Hamill is set to voice Chucky.
