The official trailer for Black Sheeps has arrived, confirming a sequel to the 2006 horror-comedy Black Sheep. The film is set to debut across Australia and New Zealand on November 12, 2026, via Umbrella Entertainment. This release addresses long-standing fan demand for a continuation of the cult classic, which originally featured sheep turned into blood-thirsty zombies by a genetic mutation.
Jonathan King returns as writer and director for the new installment. Nathan Meister, who played Harry Oldfield in the original, also returns to the cast. The sequel introduces several new actors, including Tabatha Killick, Lucia Davison, Joseph Witkowski, Ian Harcourt, Heather O’Carroll, Paul Waggott, and Renaye Tamati. The original film was praised in New Zealand and found success in Europe and on the home video market.
The plot centers on a young scientist who discovers a new pathogen at the site of the original mutation. The original farm and facility have been closed off, though one solitary figure remains behind the gates. A cult of sheep worshipers has emerged in the aftermath of the initial massacre, praying for the return of their idols. The new outbreak is triggered by the scientist’s investigation into the dangerous pathogen.
Shudder has released the official trailer, describing the film as a comedy horror. The announcement was covered by Scream Horror Magazine, which noted the two-decade gap since the first film. No further details regarding international release dates beyond Australia and New Zealand have been announced in the provided sources.
