Our favourite sheep is baa-ck on the big screen in 2026.

Few characters have stood the test of time quite like Shaun the Sheep, and with the upcoming release of Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, the beloved farmyard icon is back on the big screen.

First introduced in 1995 in the Wallace & Gromit short film, A Close Shave, Shaun quickly stole the spotlight, going on to headline his own series in 2007. Since then, the franchise has grown into a global success story, spanning multiple TV seasons, feature films and a loyal fanbase that appeals to kids, families and adults who grew up with the character.

What sets Shaun the Sheep apart is its universal appeal. With no dialogue, the humour transcends language, making it instantly accessible and widely loved. That simplicity has been key to its longevity, allowing it to remain relevant across generations while continuing to attract new audiences.

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom brings a fresh, seasonal twist. Set on Halloween Eve, chaos unfolds when the Farmer accidentally ruins the pumpkin patch, sending Shaun into problem-solving mode. A series of science experiments quickly spiral out of control, unleashing a mysterious beast in the nearby woods, setting the stage for another playful adventure.

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom releases September 17.
