Ben Stiller’s animated *Madagascar* trilogy will begin streaming on Netflix next week. The franchise, which has grossed over $1.9 billion globally, includes the original 2005 film and its sequels, *Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa* and *Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted*.
The series follows the adventures of a group of zoo animals, voiced by Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, and Jada Pinkett Smith. Their unexpected journey from New York to Madagascar spawned a popular media franchise.
This move returns the films to Netflix after a multi-year absence. Their arrival provides a significant addition to the platform’s family-friendly content library ahead of the summer viewing season.
