Terry Pratchett’s novel, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, was adapted into a film called The Amazing Maurice in 2022. Pratchett wrote over 40 novels during his career, including the popular Discworld series, many of which have been successfully turned into movies. Though The Amazing Maurice isn’t Pratchett’s most famous story, it’s a fan favorite, and the recent film adaptation quickly gained viewers.
While fans are eagerly awaiting the last episode of Good Omens, it’s a good time to look ahead to the sequel of The Amazing Maurice. The Amazing Maurice – The Waters of Life is scheduled for release in 2027, and many are wondering which actors will return for the animated film. Variety reports that several original cast members will reprise their roles, including Hugh Laurie as Maurice himself.
