The Sheep Detectives
Definition
An upcoming 2026 mystery comedy film directed by Kyle Balda, starring Hugh Jackman as a shepherd whose beloved sheep flock turns into amateur detectives after his untimely demise, adapted from Leonie Swann's novel 'Three Bags Full.'
A whimsical reference to a herd of intellectually curious sheep who solve crimes, blending barnyard logic with noir detective tropes in a hilariously low-stakes whodunit.
