Why the Creator of Chernobyl Wrote a Sheep Movie (Explained)

The Sheep Detectives (2026) looks like a cute comedy, but the true story is much darker. We break down the trailer, the insanely stacked cast (Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson), and the twisted plot of the original book "Three Bags Full." In this video: Hugh Jackman plays a shepherd who is murdered in the first act, leaving his flock to solve the crime. But this isn't just Shaun the Sheep. Written by Craig Mazin (creator of The Last of Us and Chernobyl), this story involves drug smuggling, existential dread, and a flock of sheep who think the local priest is actually God. We analyze why this might be the surprise hit of 2026. Topics Covered: The Plot: How sheep investigate a murder without human help. The Writer: Why Craig Mazin is the perfect choice for this dark satire. The Cast: Who is voicing the sheep? (Patrick Stewart, Bryan Cranston, and more). Book vs. Movie: Will they keep the drug plot from Three Bags Full?
