Shaun the Sheep Series 7 Launches!

Shaun's new series has been confirmed to arrive on CBBC, BBC One and BBC iPlayer this May!

The launch starts with a very special double episode called ‘Shirleyverse’, broadcast on CBBC, BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 3.30pm on Saturday 24 May, with the whole series also available to watch on iPlayer from this date too. Episodes will also air at 7am weekdays from Monday 26 May on CBBC.

Now in its seventh installment, the new 20-episode series reunites all your favourite characters for some classic Mossy Bottom Farm mischief. The series features classic Shaun the Sheep scenarios – relatable, everyday situations with a rural twist – spun into comedy gold by the Flock. 

In Shaun's first double episode, everything Shaun knows and loves comes into question when he impulsively wishes away his pal Bitzer the dog. 

Other adventures see Bitzer attempt some DIY, chaos unfold as a tractor gets stuck in the mud, the Farmer’s ill-fated foray into beekeeping, and Shaun and Bitzer battle it out in a camping caper.

In celebration of the series launch and also Shaun's 30th anniversary in 2025, BBC One and CBBC will also air Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave, the Academy Award®-winning film which first introduced Shaun to audiences in 1995 (3pm, Saturday 24 May, BBC One and CBBC).

The Shaun the Sheep double episode at 3.30pm is followed on BBC One by the most recent Wallace & Gromit film, Vengeance Most Fowl (3.45pm, Saturday 24 May, BBC One) 

On CBBC, viewers can watch the brand-new double episode (3.30pm, Saturday 24 May) followed by Shaun the Sheep back-to-back episodes (3.45pm) and Shaun the Sheep Movie (5pm).
