John Hopewell, Variety:

20 years to the day after its theatrical release, Aardman Animation Studios has confirmed it will produce a “Chicken Run" sequel, this time backed by Netflix, who will distribute the film globally outside of China.

The sequel announcement was delivered during an Annecy Making Of panel on the festival’s digital platform. The sequel has long been rumored, though Netflix’s involvement is major news.

…

Netflix’s “Chicken Run" sequel will turn on Ginger, now living in a human-free chicken paradise. There, Ginger and Rocky hatch an egg together and daughter Molly is born. The girl grows up quickly, “as children do," Fell explained, and Molly begins to outgrow the island. At the same time, rumors start to float of a new and terrible threat on the mainland, forcing Ginger to rally her troops and put their own hard-won freedom at risk for the good of all chicken-kind.

As a long-time Aardman fan, I am all for this. Just so long as Mel Gibson is far, far away from the final product.
