It starred Julia Sawalha, Mel Gibson, Tony Haygarth, Miranda Richardson, Phil Daniels, Lynn Ferguson, Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton, and Benjamin Whitrow.

Chicken Run 2 official premise:

'After successfully escaping from Tweedy's farm in a daring and risky manner, Ginger has discovered her ideal place – an idyllic island bird sanctuary where the entire flock can live in harmony, without any risks from humans. With the arrival of Ginger and Rocky's new daughter, Molly, it appears that Ginger's fairytale ending has finally come true. However, the entire chicken population is now confronted with a menacing and new danger on the mainland led by a familiar foe. Determined to safeguard their freedom, even if it means endangering it, Ginger and her team are determined to break in.'

Aardman Animation, who produced both movies, announced in 2020 that Gibson would not return to voice Rocky. Zachary Levi was later announced as his replacement.

Aardman has actually been accused of ageism as Sawalha has also been replaced by Thandiwe Newton.

Upon hearing the news, Sawalha joked: "I have officially been plucked, stuffed & roasted".

Chicken Run 2 will be released on Netflix on 15 December.
