Ever since Netflix announced in 2020 that Chicken Run would be getting a sequel, fans of the much-loved animated movie have been beyond excited. The highly-anticipated second chapter was announced exactly 20 years to the day since the original was released and now an official release date has been announced by the streaming service.
Like its 2000 predecessor, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, produced by Aardman, is a comedy action-adventure. A synopsis for the new film reads: "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!" Here's everything you need to know.
