Tilly plays the character of Tiffany, Chucky's love interest, who debuted in 1998's Bride of Chucky, and has to date appeared in four movies and the series, including Chucky season 3. Speaking in an exclusive interview with ScreenRant, Tilly discussed her love for the franchise, and how she would happily continue to appear as Tiffany in any capacity, commenting that with the franchise "There's always something new and exciting." Check out Tilly's full comments below:

We've done 7 movies and 3 seasons of Chucky, which I think is because Don truly loves the franchise. He loves the characters. He's Chucky's biggest fan. When he gets a new script assignment, he's like, "What am I gonna do?" He has this big box of Lego blocks and is like, "What am I gonna build?" He's being a superfan asking, "What do the fans want to see?" Like when he brought Alex Vincent [as Andy Barclay] back... He brought back Christine Elise, who played the babysitter in Child's Play 2, and he also managed to bring back the much-reviled Glen and Glenda.

But it's really fascinating to me to see how well [Tiffany] dovetails into this universe of a small town and a hyper-realistic scenario, and then you have this person that's larger than life. I'm so happy that Don brought me along for the ride because I honestly thought that I would have a little cameo and the baton to the new generation, but I was so happy to find out I had a major part. I love the Chucky fans, Chucky franchise, and Don Mancini. I hope I'm going to be in it as long as it goes on. I can see Chucky going on for another 50 years, honestly. There's always something new and exciting.

What Could The Future Hold For Chucky & The Child's Play Franchise?

Horror franchises that have run for decades have a committed fanbase, but it is always important to keep things fresh, and Mancini has already spoken of his desire to explore the possibility of a movie with Chucky in space.

Chucky season 3 part 2 will pick up with Tiffany's imminent escape from prison, and there are many other story strands the show could pick up. While it is unclear if the show will continue beyond season 3, there are reasons for viewers to be optimistic, and Tilly's comments reveal that both she and Mancini believe there are more stories to explore in the world of Chucky.

Horror franchises that have run for decades have a committed fanbase, but it is always important to keep things fresh, and Mancini has already spoken of his desire to explore the possibility of a movie with Chucky in space. This is a tried and tested horror formula, and, in the past, both the Hellraiser and Friday the 13th franchises have successfully produced installments set in space. It is just one of many ideas Mancini will doubtlessly have for the future of the franchise.

How involved Tilly will continue to be will depend on several factors, such as the actress's schedule moving forward, as well as the storylines for the character of Tiffany. But her positivity toward the role, and the franchise, should fill viewers with optimism. With Mancini saying future Child's Play movies will tie into the Chucky TV show, Tilly may be able to continue her character in both endeavors.

Chucky is available to stream on Peacock.
