Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget Teaser Trailer Previews Ginger’s Next Mission

Netflix has finally released the official Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget teaser trailer for its upcoming stop-motion comedy sequel, which hails from Aardman Animation. The film is scheduled to make its debut on December 15.

The video highlights Ginger’s next impossible mission, as she and her team break in a heavily guarded facility where they encounter the human who’s threatening their freedom. It also teases the return of Ginger’s nemesis in the form of Mrs. Tweedy, voiced by Miran

“They say a movie is only as good as its villain and Ginger’s nemesis, Mrs. Tweedy is one of the all-time greats,” director Sam Fell said in a statement. “Now she’s out to take industrial-scale revenge on all chicken-kind with the Dawn of the Nugget. We’ve had so much fun working with Miranda Richardson to transform Melisha Tweedy into the ultimate 1960’s super-villain. Miranda has a unique understanding of drama and comedy, making you laugh while scaring the pants off you in the exact same moment.”
