Based on Leonie Swann’s international bestseller, Three Bags Full will star Jackman as George Hardy, a shepherd who enjoys reading murder mysteries to his loving sheep, unaware they understand every word.

Once he’s found dead under mysterious circumstances, the sheep are convinced they’re the only ones capable of solving this crime. They decide to leave their meadow for the first time, only to discover that the real world isn’t as simple as it appears in books.

In addition to Jackman in the lead role, Three Bags Full will also star Emma Thompson (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), Nicholas Braun (Succession), Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of You), Molly Gordon (Theater Camp), Hong Chau (The Whale), and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Wonka), among others.

Animation veteran Kyle Balda will direct this project, while Craig Mazin (The Last of Us) wrote the screenplay. Lindsay Doran and Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are coming on board as producers.

Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie will be released in theatres on February 20, 2026, before getting a streaming release date on Amazon Prime Video.

The Brit had previously signed on to the project which examines the millenia-old battle between the organisations of good luck and bad luck that secretly affects our daily lives.

The film is being produced by Skydance Animation which recently hired former creative chief of Pixar and Disney Animation, John Lasseter, as its head. Lasseter took a leave of absence from Disney in November 2017, following an admission that he committed unspecified “missteps” that left some employees feeling “disrespected or uncomfortable.”

“It feels very odd to me that you and your company would consider hiring someone with Mr. Lasseter’s pattern of misconduct given the present climate in which people with the kind of power that you have can reasonably be expected to step up to the plate,” Thompson has now written in a letter addressed to the Luck producers.

“He is presumably being paid millions of dollars to receive that second chance. How much money are the employees at Skydance being paid to give him that second chance?”
