More than 20 years after the release of the original Chicken Run, a sequel is finally coming together, knowingly titled Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget.

Aardman Animations has partnered with Netflix for this and several other projects - including a new Wallace and Gromit film due in 2024 - with Sam Fell (ParaNorman) directing and original Chicken Run writers Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell providing the script.

The film will reunite audiences with Rocky and Ginger (now recast with Zachary Levi and Thandiwe Newton respectively) as they raise their daughter Molly, and a new force arrives to threaten chicken-kind.

Jane Horrocks, Imelda Staunton, and Lynn Ferguson are set to reprise their roles of Babs, Bunty, and Muck in what should hopefully be a rare belated comedy sequel that really works.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget releases in 2023.
