SANTA MONICA, CA -- Friday, November 13 marks the world debut of half-hour special Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer’s Llamas, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the US. The special follows up the popular series and recent hit movie.

In Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer’s Llamas, the Farmer and Bitzer go to a Country Fair and Shaun accompanies them intent on causing mischief. Shaun spies an auction of three exotic and very crafty Llamas and cleverly gets the unwitting Farmer to buy them.
