Paddington 3, formally titled Paddington in Peru, has received not one, but two official release dates.

The film is set to hit the UK on November 8, 2024, and will premiere in the US two months later on January 17, 2025. The dates were announced via an adorable teaser that shows Paddington gobbling up marmalade after wiping it off the screen.

Per the official logline, Paddington and the Brown Family embark on an unexpected journey through the Amazon rainforest and up to the mountain peaks of Peru in order to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. 

"Real cinema is back!" one fan tweeted.

"Kind of love that the UK is getting PADDINGTON 3 in cinemas a whole two months earlier than the US. Should see a spike in Paddington tourism for those who can't wait that long." wrote another.

"Is it maybe a bit weird that I’m excited for #PaddingtonInPeru? Maybe. Do I care? No," someone else said.

"Paddington bros, we are so back," tweeted another fan.
