The Sheep Detectives, a film starring Hugh Jackman as a human sheep herder and a bunch of A-list actors voicing sheep in his flock, is set to start streaming on Prime Video on June 24, 2026.
The film, if you need a refresher, covers the following:
In this witty, new breed of mystery, 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. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.
Those sheep are voiced by Hong Chau, Emma Thompson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O’Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, and Brett Goldstein. It also stars Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, and Molly Gordon, and sees Kyle Balda as director.
And if that cast and the premise, brought to us by Chernobyl and The Last of Us writer Craig Mazin, aren’t enough to get you to give the movie a watch, Amazon MGM Studios also released a new clip that shows George (Jackman) taking care of a sweet wee winter lamb. Give it a watch below, and I DARE YOU not to check out The Sheep Detectives when it starts streaming on Prime Video in two measly days.
