“CHUCKY” (Wednesday, April 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT)
In Chucky’s unending thirst for power, season 3 sees Chucky ensconced with the most powerful family in the world — America’s First Family, inside the infamous walls of the White House. How did Chucky wind up here? What in God’s name does he want?

Meanwhile, Tiffany faces looming execution on death row for “Jennifer Tilly’s” murderous rampage.

“REGINALD THE VAMPIRE” (Wednesday, May 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT)
Reginald Andres finally got his life together when he was turned into a vampire. While he doesn’t fit into the stereotypical expectations of what a vampire looks like – he’s not chiseled or classically handsome – Reginald has found his place amongst an unlikely cohort that includes the cool vampire who sired him, the former vampire chieftain turned unexpected ally (or is she?) and his co-worker/former girlfriend. A show with a lot of heart and just enough blood, “Reginald the Vampire” proves the undead life is just as complicated as life itself.
- In its first season, the “Reginald the Vampire” was cable’s #2 scripted program in both total viewers and the 18-49 demo.

“THE ARK” (Summer)
“The Ark” takes place 100 years in the future when planetary colonization missions have begun as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race. The first of these missions on a spacecraft known as Ark One encounters a catastrophic event causing massive destruction and loss of life. With more than a year left to go before reaching their target planet, a lack of life-sustaining supplies and loss of leadership, the remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive.
- Across all platforms, season one of “The Ark” was SYFY’s most- watched freshman series since 2021 in both total viewers and the 18-49 demo.
- The first season was cable’s #2 original drama in total viewers in its timeslot.
“SURREALESTATE”
“SurrealEstate” follows real estate agent Luke Roman and an elite team of specialists that handle the cases no one else can: haunted and possessed houses that literally scare would-be buyers away. Researching, investigating and “fixing” the things that go bump in the night, the team works to create closure, and closings, even as they struggle with demons of their own.
- Season two of “SurrealEstate” ranked as cable’s #2 original scripted series in the timeslot in both total viewers and the 18-49 demo.
