Typically, in this sequel-obsessed industry, we get new films in a franchise at a quick rate. At the most, we only have to wait maybe four or five years between installments of a film series. However, that’s not the case with the new “Chicken Run” film, which is arriving more than 20 years after the first film.

As seen in the teaser trailer for “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget,” acclaimed animation studio, Aardman, is back with a new adventure with our fowl friends. This time, instead of breaking out of a chicken farm, the team of chickens has to break into what seems like an impenetrable location, “Mission: Impossible” style.
The voice cast for the film includes Thandiwe Newton, Zachary Levi, Bella Ramsey, Imelda Staunton, Lynn Ferguson, David Bradley, Jane Horrocks, Romesh Ranganathan, Daniel Mays, Josie Sedgwick-Davies, Peter Serafinowicz, Nick Mohammed, and Miranda Richardson.
“Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget” debuts on Netflix on December 15. You can watch the teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
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!
