No news of the voice cast has yet been revealed.īoth Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget and the new Wallace & Gromit film are part of a growing creative collaboration between Aardman and Netflix. The story - devised by Burton and Park - will see Gromit’s growing concern that Wallace has become over-dependent on his inventions justified when he invents a “smart gnome” that seems to develop a mind of its own. The film will premiere exclusively on Netflix around the world except in the U.K., where it will debut first on the BBC before also coming to Netflix. Claire Jennings ( Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Coraline) produces.
