Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the chicken coup… Hot of the presses Netlifx has debuted the official teaser trailer for upcoming Chicken Run sequel, Dawn of the Nugget. The Aardman animated film comes to Netlifx on December 15, 2023.
But that’s not all! The cat, or should we say chicken, is finally out of the bag. Sure to ruffle feathers once more is the return of Melisha Tweedy, better known as Mrs. Tweedy and Ginger’s arch nemesis. Fans can catch a first glimpse of Mrs. Tweedy, voiced by accomplished stage, film and television actress Miranda Richardson, who has refashioned herself for a new era of fowl-play in the teaser trailer below.
Also joining today as joining the cast is British actor, comedian, director and screenwriter, Peter Serafinowicz who voices Reginald Smith. Serafinowicz voices a humourless businessman and along with Tweedy poses a new and bigger threat to chicken-kind.
It was recently confirmed that the film will play as part of the 2023 London Film Festival. Under the banner of The Mayor of London’s Gala, the film will screen at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Saturday 14 October 2023.
Directed by Sam Fell, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget stars Thandiwe Newton, Zachary Levi, Bella Ramsey, Imelda Staunton, Lynn Ferguson, David Bradley, Jane Horrocks, Romesh Ranganathan, Daniel Mays, Josie Sedgwick-Davies, Peter Serafinowicz, Nick Mohammed and Miranda Richardson.
