The cast includes Hugh Jackman (Song Sung Blue), Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, and Molly Gordon, with Hong Chau and Emma Thompson (Down Cemetery Road).
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O’Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein, and Rhys Darby also star.
The Sheep Detectives is a Working Title film and a Three Strange Angels production. It is produced by Lindsay Doran, Tim Bevan, and Eric Fellner.
The executive producers include Sarah-Jane Wright, Amelia Granger, Aditya Sood, Tyson Hesse, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Tim Wellspring.
Opening in theaters on May 8, 2026, the film has been rated PG by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for thematic material, some violent content, and brief language.
