The Sheep Detectives streams globally on Prime Video June 24

The comedy mystery film "The Sheep Detectives" will begin streaming globally on Prime Video on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, following its theatrical run that began in early May. The film, starring Hugh Jackman, features a flock of sheep who turn detective to solve the murder of their shepherd.

Based on Leonie Swann's 2005 novel "Three Bags Full," the movie is directed by Kyle Balda from a screenplay by Craig Mazin. The plot centers on George, a shepherd played by Jackman, who reads detective novels aloud to his sheep each night. After George is found dead under mysterious circumstances, his flock decides to investigate, venturing beyond their meadow for the first time to navigate the complexities of the human world. The local police officer, played by Nicholas Braun, has little experience with serious crime, leaving the sheep to take the lead.

The film blends live-action with CG animation and boasts a large ensemble cast. Appearing in live-action roles alongside Jackman and Braun are Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau, and Emma Thompson. A flock of sheep is voiced by a roster of notable actors including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall,...
