Netflix has released the full trailer for Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget. Daniel Mays features as the voice of Fetcher.
From the multi Academy and BAFTA award-winning Aardman (Creature Comforts, Wallace & Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep), and Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated director Sam Fell (ParaNorman and Flushed Away, respectively), comes Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, the eagerly anticipated sequel to the beloved and highest-grossing stop-motion animated film of all time, Chicken Run. Having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy’s farm, Ginger has finally found her dream — a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock, far from the dangers of the human world. When she and Rocky hatch a little girl called Molly, Ginger’s happy ending seems complete. But back on the mainland the whole of chicken-kind faces a new and terrible threat. For Ginger and her team, even if it means putting their own hard-won freedom at risk — this time, they’re breaking in!

It’s (almost!!) Christmas!! Prime Video has released the trailer for Your Christmas or Mine 2. We are so looking forward to the sequel from last year’s feel-good, lovable holiday film. Your Christmas or Mine 2 will be available on Prime Video worldwide on 8 December.
Get in the festive spirit with Your Christmas or Mine 2 which follows young couple James (Asa Butterfield) and Hayley (Cora Kirk) as they gear up for their second Christmas as a couple which can only mean one thing – more mayhem with the Taylor and Hughes families.
James’ dad has invited the Taylors to a luxury ski resort in the Austrian Alps for Christmas so they can all meet his new girlfriend, played by Jane Krakowski. But when a mix-up with transportation at the airport happens, the two families end up at each other’s accommodations by mistake – on opposite sides of a valley and with very different TripAdvisor ratings.
Can Hayley and James’ relationship survive another turbulent family Christmas, or has their future together gone off-piste?
Your Christmas or Mine 2 also features the original stellar line-up of British talent, including Alex Jennings (The Crown), Daniel Mays (Fisherman’s Friends), David Bradley (the Harry Potter series), Angela Griffin (White Lines), Natalie Gumede (Titans), Rhea Norwood (Heartstopper) and, new to the Your Christmas Or Mine? team, Jane Krakowski (30 Rock).

We are happy to announce the great news that Daniel Mays has joined the cast of the long awaited sequel to Chicken Run – Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. The film will premium on Netflix in 2023.
Danny announced earlier:
🚨The chickens have finally come home to roost! 🐓 I'm thrilled to share with you all I’ve joined the cast of the new Chicken Run sequel, CHICKEN RUN: DAWN OF THE NUGGET directed by Sam Fell. @aardman’s brand new film hatches only on @NetflixFilm in 2023. https://t.co/NL8Vx8SWyXpic.twitter.com/ryE8PWwWhr
(From the Netflix announcement) A project incredibly dear to the hearts of Aardman, and something that everyone at Netflix is excited about. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, the eagerly anticipated sequel to the highest-grossing stop-motion animated film of all time, will be coming exclusively to Netflix in 2023. Over the years, a sequel was often discussed at Aardman but the studio needed the right story and the right partner. Following Robin Robin, another collaboration seemed like a no-brainer and the perfect time to bring back our poultry heroes to the world.
Like its 2000 predecessor, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is a comedy action-adventure. When your heroes have to summon up all their resources to break into an impenetrable fortress, and those heroes are chickens, then comedy is deep in its DNA. But there’s also a very moving family story at its heart. We’re thrilled to announce that Ginger and Rocky will be played by Thandiwe Newton and Zachary Levi, respectively. They’re fabulous together. Bella Ramsey will voice their headstrong daughter, Molly — a true chick-off-the-old-block who completes the family trio in this new chapter. Reprising their roles are Jane Horrocks (Babs), Imelda Staunton (Bunty) and Lynn Ferguson (Mac), joined by new additions Josie Sedgwick-Davies (Frizzle), David Bradley (Fowler), Romesh Ranganathan (Nick), Daniel Mays (Fetcher) and Nick Mohammed (Dr. Fry). Sam Fell (Flushed Away and Oscar-nominated ParaNorman) will direct the film, on which production is already underway.
We are thrilled that Danny has joined this cast! Like everyone, we are enormous fans of the original Chicken Run film and the Wallace & Grommit franchise. We will have updates on this new project as they are released. In the meantime, we’re off to re-watch Chicken Run (for the 1000th time)!
