Shaun and the flock are set for their biggest Halloween adventure yet as Sky unveils a new trailer and images for Shaun the Sheep The Beast of Mossy Bottom. The Sky Original film is due for theatrical release in the UK on 18 September, bringing a seasonal twist to Mossy Bottom Farm with chaos building as Halloween approaches.
The story begins with the residents of Mossy Bottom looking forward to a peaceful Halloween, until the Farmer accidentally destroys the flock’s treasured pumpkin patch. In response, Shaun steps in and takes on the role of a makeshift mad scientist, trying to fix the problem, but things quickly spiral out of control in ways no one can manage.
As the situation worsens, the Farmer goes missing and rumours begin to spread of a wild beast roaming the woods of Mossingham. The farm and surrounding area are thrown into confusion, with Halloween preparations turning into something far more unpredictable than anyone expected.
The trailer also introduces Mossingham’s local influencer, voiced by Dani Dyer in her first animation voice role, who captures attention by staging a selfie with the unsuspecting beast. It adds another layer of modern humour to the unfolding chaos around the farm and village.
Meanwhile, the flock are seen going to extreme lengths to protect what is left of their pumpkin patch, while Timmy appears in full sailor outfit for Halloween. The Farmer is squeezed into an uncomfortable and too tight Halloween hoedown costume, adding to the comedy of errors, while the Vet leads a fast moving boat chase that pushes the action into more frantic territory.
With its mix of Halloween mischief, escalating chaos and classic stop motion humour, the trailer builds towards what promises to be a wildly entertaining adventure. From pumpkin patch disasters to beastly confusion in the woods, Mossy Bottom Farm is once again at the centre of a surprisingly large scale mess that threatens to get out of hand.
Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom will premiere in cinemas on 18 September 2026
