Amazon MGM Studios and Alliance Home Entertainment announce the Blu-ray™ and DVD release of the critically-acclaimed The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau, and Emma Thompson. Bring it home on August 25th.

In the English village of Denbrook, 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.

The Sheep Detectives was adapted from the 2005 international bestseller Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story by Leonie Swann. The heartwarming whodunnit was translated into English (and eventually more than 30 languages) and was adapted by Craig Mazin (The Last of Us, Chernobyl).

 

The Sheep Detectives had its theatrical debut earlier this year on May 8th, 2026 nationwide and was met with overwhelming critical praise on the way to more than $125 million worldwide. The film holds a staggering 95% ‘Certified Fresh’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics and audiences agreeing that The Sheep Detectives is a film the whole family will be coming back to for years to come.
