The twisted version of the 100-Acre Woods has a new resident.
The sequel to Winne-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is exploring more characters from its source material. Writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield will add Tigger to the film with the first-look images from IGN. Lewis Santer is set to play the character.
In an IGN interview, we get why Tigger wasn’t included in the first film. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey pulled from a specific story allowed through the public domain, and Tigger was not featured there. The character enters the public domain on January 2024, one month before Blood and Honey 2‘s scheduled release sometime in February.
Producer Scott Jeffrey teases how twisted things are about to get, “Tigger is incredibly violent. He loves to torture his victims before killing them.” It was also hinted that “more friends will join Pooh on his rampage.”

The screenplay comes from Matt Leslie from a story he co-wrote with Frake-Waterfield. Simon Callow joins the cast alongside Tallulah Evans, who will lead the film. The cast includes Scott Chambers as Christopher Robin, Ryan Oliva as Winnie-the-Pooh, and Peter DeSouza-Feighoney as young Winnie-the-Pooh.
