Chucky creator Don Mancini said the horror show ‘honours the trans experience’ by featuring the murderous doll’s twins Glen/Glenda, played by non-binary actor Lachlan Watson.
Watson, who is best known for their role as Theo in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, will play twins Glen and Glenda – the twin children of Chucky and Tiffany. The beloved characters were first introduced to horror fans in the 1998’s Bride of Chucky, but they didn’t formally step into the spotlight until 2004’s Seed of Chucky.
The twins were mentioned in the first season of Don Mancini’s TV adaptation when Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) explained to Jake (Zackary Arthur) that he had a “genderfluid kid” and that he supported the LGBTQ+ community because he’s “not a monster”.
