The Sheep Detectives is almost out, and I can’t believe I haven’t come across this production before—it looks absolutely hilarious!
Before some comments, here are the two trailers:

Hugh Jackman’s shepherd George—who turns out much more than a simple farmer—is murdered. He had a habit of reading murder mysteries to his flock, who take it upon themselves to solve his killing. It involves crossing a road—gasp!—to leave their beloved pasture, conducting investigations, and attempting to point the poor hapless local bobby in the right direction.
The supporting cast sounds incredible. We have for instance Emma Thompson and Patrick Stewart, Tosin Cole and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brett Goldstein and Nicholas Galitzine (who is going to be He-Man in the upcoming reboot of Masters of the Universe).
The script is by Craig Mazin and Leonie Swann, based on Swann’s book; Kyle Balda directs. I know some of Mazin’s work from the series Chernobyl (which was great) and Balda’s from Minions (ditto), so here’s hoping that the plot works.
Can’t wait! 😀
The Sheep Detectives is set to open next Friday, May 08, 2026.
Hey, look! We found a thing on the internet! We thought it was cool, and wanted to share it with you.
