Paddington 4 has received an exciting update ahead of the digital release of its predecessor, Paddington in Peru.
The series follows the adventures of the titular bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) and the Browns as they get into all sorts of trouble, with the latest instalment seeing the group venture to Paddington’s homeland of Peru.
Following three critically and commercially successful films, fans have been left wondering if a fourth entry was on the cards, and they now have good news after Studiocanal CEO and Canal+ Deputy CEO Anna Marsh confirmed that another instalment was planned.

"There will be a fourth film," she told Deadline. "We're thinking about the next movies and we're working on a new TV series as well as the stage show musical with Sonia Friedman and Eliza Lumley."
Marsh's update comes after producer Rosie Alison said last month that a fourth film would be dependent on the "global success" of Paddington in Peru, with the film being digitally released in the UK and opening in the US tomorrow.

Alison, who assumed the role of producer from David Heyman, also spoke about Paddington in Peru in more detail, sharing: "Obviously I love the first two films, but I feel very protective about the third film.

"One of the things that I've really enjoyed working through the films and on the character is trying to figure out, which are the bits of Paddington that really shine out?
"They are stories about being lost and found, being separated and reunited. He is the quintessential immigrant story and it felt natural that the heart caught between two homes had to form part of the third film – and that [at the end] he gets to make his own choice."
Paddington in Peru is available to pre-order from Prime Video and more ahead of its digital release tomorrow.
