Bring it home on August 25th. In the English village of Denbrook, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. The Sheep Detectives was adapted from the 2005 international bestseller Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story by Leonie Swann. The heartwarming whodunnit was translated into English (and eventually more than 30 languages) and was adapted by Craig Mazin (The Last of Us, Chernobyl). |
The Sheep Detectives had its theatrical debut earlier this year on May 8th, 2026 nationwide and was met with overwhelming critical praise on the way to more than $125 million worldwide. The film holds a staggering 95% ‘Certified Fresh’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics and audiences agreeing that The Sheep Detectives is a film the whole family will be coming back to for years to come.
