The Sheep Detectives trailer: Hugh Jackman's new film gives mystery a woolly spin
The Sheep Detectives is a charming and humorous mystery film where a shepherd's sheep take on the role of detectives to solve a strange farm incident. Featuring a star-studded cast, the film is set to release in Indian cinemas on May 8, 2026.
The upcoming film The Sheep Detectives introduces a unique mystery story centred on George, a shepherd played by Hugh Jackman. Every night, George reads detective novels to his sheep, believing they do not understand the stories.

Directed by Kyle Balda and written by Craig Mazin, the film blends mystery with comedy to create a story that is easy to follow and appeals to a wide audience.
