Paddington and the Brown Family venture to Peru to visit Paddington’s beloved Aunt Lucy (Imelda Staunton), who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. A thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them through the Amazon rainforest and up to the mountain peaks of Peru.

Olivia Colman plays a nun, while Hugh Bonneville and Emily Mortimer are back as the Brown parents. Antonio Banderas, Julie Walters, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, Carla Tous, and Jim Broadbent round out the cast.

Dougal Wilson directs the third “Paddington” feature, taking over from franchise director Paul King, who directed 2015’s “Paddington” and 2017’s “Paddington 2.” The film hails from Studiocanal and Heyday, with the story originating from King, Simon Farnaby, and Mark Burton with a screenplay by Burton, Jon Foster, and James Lamont. The films are adapted from Michael Bond’s children’s stories.

King went on to direct “Wonka,” which also starred “Paddington in Peru” actress Colman.

And while “Paddington” star Whishaw was at first skeptical the third film would get made, he brought Paddington back for a short film featuring Queen Elizabeth II for the late ruler’s Jubilee.

“Paddington 2” was a critically acclaimed hit and famously held a 100-percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. As the IndieWire review stated at the time, “Less than a week into the new year, and it’s already here: the best film of 2018. The rare sequel that improves upon the original, and in turn makes the still rarer case for a franchise to continue on as long as it possibly can, ‘Paddington 2’ is about as clever and sweet a crowd-pleasing as any movie — not just one primarily aimed at the younger set and their families.”

“Paddington in Peru” premieres November 8 in UK and Irish theaters. The film does not yet have a U.S. release date. Check out the trailer below.
