Sky has confirmed a herd of celebrity voices for its upcoming Aardman feature Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom.

The third feature-length film in the beloved children's franchise is being billed as Shaun's biggest adventure yet, as the plucky sheep turns "mad scientist" in a bid to restore a ruined pumpkin patch – unsurprisingly, things "rapidly spiral out of control".

Nina Sosanya (of Baby Reindeer and Sky's upcoming War) voices Mossingham's trusted vet, while comedy legend Paul Whitehouse (The Fast Show) plays the local shop keeper.

Meanwhile, Capital Breakfast and The One Show favourite Roman Kemp features as a pizza boy, and Love Island winner Dani Dyer takes on the town's social media-savvy influencer in her first-ever animation voice acting role.

The film also features a brand-new remix of Shaun the Sheep's theme tune, Life's a Treat, by British hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks, playing over the end credits.

Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule previously re-worked the track for the first Shaun the Sheep Movie in 2015; a version credited to Mark Thomas, Vic Reeves and Rizzle Kicks that appeared on that film's soundtrack.

Stephens said: "I've proudly said working with Aardman on the Shaun the Sheep soundtrack is one of my best moments. Shaun is just iconic and the song is a real banger."

Alexander-Sule added: "We grew up watching Wallace and Gromit, so when we were asked to remix Life's a Treat, it was a very easy decision to make. We had loads of fun in the studio putting a fresh spin on it and I can't wait to watch the new film with my kids."

The previous two Shaun the Sheep films have been critical and commercial hits, both earning nods at the BAFTAs and Academy Awards, so expectations are high for this follow-up. Fortunately, Aardman rarely misses!

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom will be in UK cinemas from Friday 18 September 2026.
