Chucky is about to wreak havoc again in the second season of Don Mancini’s series based on the killer doll who made his debut back in 1988’s Child’s Play. After being caught up in the Video Nasty era, Chucky, voiced by Brad Dourif, came out the other side in 1998’s Bride of Chucky, which made the genius addition of Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany. Now, after several other movies, the pair are back together again in Chucky, and the actors behind them have been discussing the legacy of Chucky, including revealing what their most iconic moment of the entire franchise has been.
With plenty of moments to choose from, while speaking at the Television Critics Association panel for the TV series, Dourif and Tilly reminisced about their 24 years working together as part of the Child’s Play franchise and their one favorite moment of all, which is also one of the most bizarre and comically surreal moments of the whole saga. Dourif explained:
"The night that Chucky got lucky. Because I was shocked. When Chucky had sex, I wasn't expecting to be shocked, but I was so shocked and delighted. It was fun working with Jennifer because I'd been like working all alone, but that's beside the point. Anyway, that was my favorite moment. I saw the two dolls have sex, and even though you know Jennifer and I did all that....voice only for all of that."
Tilly added her own thoughts on the scene in question, reminding everyone of her and Dourif’s hilarious improvised lines that really elevated the whole thing to a level of horror-comedy gold. She said:
"It was really fun because the way that we work, Brad and I were in adjoining booths so we'd improvise, and I improvised, because she hasn't been adult for so long, 'Do you have a rubber?' and then Brad improvised 'Rubber? Look at me baby. I'm all rubber,' so they had unprotected sex, which led to an unplanned pregnancy which is a lesson for the kiddies...Doll sex is different from real sex, but it's a lot of fun, especially when it's with Brad."
Chucky Season 2 Sees The Return of Glen/Glenda, the Result of That Bride of Chucky Scene
The first season of Chucky included a lot of callbacks to the original Child’s Play movies, as well as pulling in characters from later in the series. While Jennifer Tilly mostly played the human version of her character in the show, the doll form of Tiffany very much came into play towards the end of the season and will be returning for a reunion with Chucky in season 2.
Also joining the chaos will be nonbinary actor Lachlan Watson, who will take on the roles of Chucky and Tiffany’s child, Glen/Glenda. The character has already been teased in the latest trailer for the show and will arrive in all their glory in Chucky season 2 when the show returns to SYFY/USA Network on Oct 5, 2022.
