When it comes to keepingChuckyfans flooded with behind-the-scenes content, there’s no one more up to the task than long-time franchise starJennifer Tilly. During production for the show’s second season, theLiar Liarstar shared a multitude ofimages,casting reveals,behind-the-scenes featurettes, andteasersgiving fans an all access pass to the set of their favorite show. Today, she’s at it again in a newly shared Twitter post that sees one of the most heartbreaking scenes (so far) from Season 2 come to life.
In the clip, Tilly shares a look at franchise creatorDon Manciniand puppeteer guruTony Gardnerdiscussing how to make the Tiffany doll react to some exciting news. The shot is from last week’s episode, “Doll on Doll,” that saw the return guest appearance of Tilly’s real life sister,Meg Tilly. In the scene, Tiffany (who’s housing the soul of Jennifer Tilly) finds out that her beloved sister, who she hasn’t set eyes on in years, is in her home. Mancini and Gardner chat about how best to carry out the scene and when to have the Tiffany doll stand up from her seated position inside the cage where she’s being held hostage. After ironing out the details, the direction “puppets ready” is called before the backstage look cuts out.
The episode is a continuation of the previous episode titled “Death on Denial” that saw Meg Tilly attending a dinner party at Jennifer Tilly’s house alongside the latter’s formerBoundco-starsGina GershonandJoe Pantoliano,as well as her close friend andThe Real Housewives of Beverly HillsstarSutton Stracke. In what turns into a murder mystery, Tilly/Tiffany is hosting the dinner for the return ofTiffany and Chucky’s children, Glen and Glenda(Lachlan Watson). AfterMancini teased that some guests would be returningfor the follow-up episode, it was a pleasure to see the Tilly sisters reunited one more time.
