Move over, Sherlock—there’s a new team of sleuths in town, and they’re covered in wool.
The Sheep Detectives, arriving on Prime Video worldwide on June 24, delivers a clever, family-friendly mystery with an all-star cast led by Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson. The film follows George (Jackman), a shepherd who spends his evenings reading detective novels to his sheep, convinced they’re not paying attention. He couldn’t be more wrong.
When a mysterious incident shakes up life on the farm, the flock decides to crack the case themselves. Following clues, questioning human suspects, and putting their surprisingly sharp minds to work, the sheep prove that great detectives can come in the fluffiest packages.
Directed by Kyle Balda and written by Craig Mazin, the film boasts a stacked ensemble including Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, Tosin Cole, Hong Chau, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O’Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein, and Rhys Darby.
Packed with humor, heart, and plenty of twists, The Sheep Detectives looks set to be the summer’s most entertaining mystery—one that the whole flock can enjoy.
