Actress Jennifer Tilly Teases Tiffany’s Return to the Chucky Series

The Chucky series is bringing back Tiffany, and actress Jennifer Tilly has posted a picture teasing the character’s return.

The upcoming episode of the Syfy show will mark Tiffany’s return to the franchise. In anticipation, Tilly shared an image of her in character with a syringe, teasing that she’s here to ‘administer your shot.’

Tiffany was first seen in Bride of Chucky (1998), followed by Seed of Chucky (2004), Curse of Chucky (2013), and Cult of Chucky (2017).

Tiffany is the former girlfriend of Charles Lee Ray, whose spirit possesses the Chucky doll. Later on, Tiffany also gets her own possessed doll when Chucky kills her in human form. Tiffany goes on to possess her body in the form of Jennifer Tilly.

Tiffany will make her debut in the episode titled Little Little Lies, airing on November 9, along with another familiar face from the franchise, Nica Pierce. The actress also shared a short 20-second preview of the episode with the caption, ‘Hello Boys.’

Tilly told Showbiz Cheatsheet that she hadn’t expected such a substantial role in the series. The actress was moved when Mancini included her in the last four episodes,

When he told me he was doing the TV series, I thought I was just going to wander through like Leonard Nimoy in the Star Trek movies, just get in the elevator and somebody go, ‘Ooh, is that Tiffany?’ like a cameo. So when I got the script, and I saw the really amazing story arc he wrote for me, I was like, I love Don Mancini.

Don Mancini’s my best friend in the whole world. I think after Seed of Chucky, he was told by the studio, ‘Um,  I think we have too much Jennifer Tilly in these movies.’ He brought me back, and she’s back in all her glory. She’s just like campy, funny, and bloodthirsty. All the things that are near and dear to my heart.

The possessed doll has appeared in seven sequels since the 1988 horror film Child’s Play by Don Mancini. However, this horror series later turned into horror/comedy with Bride of Chucky.

Syfy’s Chucky has received a lot of positive reviews so far and is seemingly reinventing horror storytelling.
