Amazon MGM Studios has locked in a starry cast for Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie, a live-action comedy directed by animation veteran Kyle Balda (Minions: The Rise of Gru).
Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman) leads an ensemble that also includes Emma Thompson (Matilda the Musical), Nicholas Braun (Succession), Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of You), Molly Gordon (Theater Camp), Hong Chau (The Whale), Tosin Cole (Supacell), Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Wonka), Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones) and Mandeep Dhillon (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker).
An adaptation of Leonie Swann’s international bestseller, scripted by Craig Mazin (The Last of Us), the film follows George Hardy (Jackman), a shepherd who loves his sheep and raises them only for their wool. Every night he reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand, never suspecting that not only can they understand but they argue for hours afterwards about whodunnit. When George is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The local cop Tim Derry (Braun), on the other hand, has never solved a serious crime in his life, so the sheep conclude they will have to solve it themselves, even if it means leaving their meadow for the first time and facing the fact that the human world isn’t as simple as it appears in books.
Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie will be produced by Lindsay Doran and Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner. Executive producers are Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Aditya Sood, and Tim Wellspring. Pic’s slated for release exclusively in theaters worldwide on February 20, 2026.
