Chucky Season 2: Fiona Dourif's Nica Will Return, Confirms Creator

screenrant.com:

Fiona Dourif will return to play Nica Pierce in the upcoming Chucky season 2. Created by Don Mancini, the horror series premiered on both Syfy and the USA Network in October and quickly proved to be a successful reboot of the perennial Child’s Play franchise, earning one of the most-watched debuts of the year. It serves as a sequel to 2017’s Cult of Chucky and follows the titular evil doll as he commits yet another series of murders. Garnering impressive viewership numbers and positive reactions from critics and longtime fans of the films, Chucky received a season 2 renewal a month after its premiere, with the first episode set to release this fall.

Dourif’s character, Nica, first appeared in Curse of Chucky as a young paraplegic woman who gets blamed for the doll’s actions and returned in Cult of Chucky only to become possessed by the killer and flee with Jennifer Tilly's Tiffany. With the television series taking place shortly after the events of the 2017 installment, audiences experienced the character’s struggle to regain control of her body as well as the relationship between her and Tiffany, something that led to a divisive conclusion. To ensure that Chucky would not harm her for wanting to keep Nica alive, Tiffany sedated her and, shockingly, surgically removed her arms and legs. Many fans of the franchise felt as though this moment failed the character of Nica, who they believed had suffered enough. Given how it ended for her, some were left wondering if she would even return or not.
