Paddington and his marmalade are finally back in Paddington in Peru, which is streaming on Netflix UK now. The beloved bear has become a national treasure after affecting several generations of children – and let's face it, adults – with his heartwarming demeanour and optimistic outlook on life.
The threequel sees Paddington returning home to darkest Peru, only to discover that his beloved Aunt Lucy is missing. To find her, he must set off on a trek deep into the wild wilderness with his foster family, the Browns.
The new film – helmed by director Dougal Wilson – marks the bear's cinematic comeback following 2017's Paddington 2. He did, however, make a memorable brief appearance at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
Paddington in Peru includes tributes to the late monarch and author Michael Bond, as well as a post-credits scene featuring a surprise A-list cameo. Here's your spoiler-filled guide to the ending...
Netflix users should watch Paddington in Peru until the very end, because Hugh Grant reprises his villainous role from Paddington 2 in a post-credits scene. Paddington visits Grant's character, Felix Buchanan, in prison.

The plot synopsis for Paddington in Peru reveals: "The highly anticipated third Paddington film brings Paddington's story to Peru as he returns to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears.
"With the Brown family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey through the Amazon rainforest and to the mountain peaks of Peru."
Ben Whishaw returns as the voice of Paddington, while The Crown star Imelda Staunton reprises her role as Aunt Lucy.
Hugh Bonneville is back as Paddington's foster father Henry Brown, while Emily Mortimer takes over the part of matriarch Mary Brown from Sally Hawkins. The couple's children Judy and Jonathan are played once again by Madeleine Harris and Samuel Joslin.
Harry Potter's Julie Walters portrays housekeeper Mrs. Bird, and Bridget Jones actor Jim Broadbent plays antiques dealer Samuel Gruber.
Oscar winner Olivia Colman joins the franchise as the Reverend Mother, a guitar-playing nun who runs the Home for Retired Bears.
Puss in Boots' Antonio Banderas plays riverboat captain Hunter Cabot, and newcomer Carla Tous plays his daughter Gina. She replaced Rachel Zegler on the film after the West Side Story star was unable to take part due to the Hollywood strike.
Paul King, who helmed the first two Paddington films, stepped out of the director's chair for Paddington in Peru. He handed the reigns to Dougal Wilson, who is best known for directing several John Lewis Christmas adverts, and music videos for artists such as Coldplay, LCD Soundsystem and Jarvis Cocker.
In a statement, King said: "Dougal's work is never less than astounding: funny, beautiful, heartfelt, imaginative, and totally original. Aunt Lucy once asked us to 'please look after this bear.' I know Dougal will do so admirably."
Wilson admitted taking over from King was a "massive responsibility", adding: "As a huge fan of the first two films, I am very excited (if not a little intimidated) to be continuing the story of Paddington."
King served as executive producer and wrote the story with his collaborators Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton. The screenplay was penned by Burton, Jon Foster and James Lamont, who scripted Paddington's Jubilee sketch with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
