Amazon MGM Studios' acclaimed cozy mystery comedy The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman and an all-star voice cast, premieres on Prime Video on June 24.
Amazon MGM Studios is bringing one of the most unexpected critical darlings of the year straight to your living room. The Sheep Detectives arrives on Prime Video on Wednesday, June 24, giving home audiences a chance to see what happens when a flock of sheep takes over a murder investigation. Hugh Jackman stars as George, the shepherd who meets an untimely end, setting off a chain of events where his woolly companions decide to help the local police officer crack the case.
The project boasts an astonishing cast that bridges prestige television and Hollywood heavyweights. Alongside human cast members like Nicholas Galitzine, Nicholas Braun, and Molly Gordon, the voice cast for the clever animals features heavy hitters including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chris O'Dowd, Bryan Cranston, and Patrick Stewart. Early reviews from both critics and general audiences have been overwhelmingly positive, pointing to a clever blend of sharp comedy and surprisingly emotional storytelling about grief and community.
While the concept sounds like a novelty, the execution has clearly won over viewers who appreciate a fresh spin on the cozy mystery genre. It is the kind of high-concept entertainment that makes for a great watch party with friends over Discord or a relaxed evening on the couch. As reported by Polygon, you can stream the movie starting this week, making it a solid addition to your mid-week watchlist.
