After Stranger Things , Netflix knew that it had a star in Millie Bobby Brown , and theEnola Holmes franchiseis the perfect vehicle for the freshly - faced actress . Brown stars asSherlock Holmes ’ young sister , apost - Doyle additionby vernal grownup author Nancy Springer . The new motion-picture show are adaptations of her serial , which was obviously very successful and gives a lot of room for even more films . view the new trailer below :
Although it ’s not quite unclouded , what happens is that 18 - year - sometime Enola Holmes , new off her first case , has open up her own investigation serve , much like her one-time brother . But , because of sexism and other various factors affecting new women in the late 1800s , she come up it hard to come up her next compositor’s case . When she lastly find a novel mystery to enquire , it leads down a rabbit cakehole that go all over London , from the low class of working girl to the upper echelons of high society .
As much as I ’d want to enjoy something like this ( I am a lover of Brown , and her conscientious objector - maven Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter are recurrent favorite ) , it seems completely stuck in the twee YA manufacturings of its origin . UnlikeThe Irregulars — a speculative take on the urchin who prey Sherlock Holmes entropy in the original books — this seems like a moderately cut - and - dry recreation of the formula . Enola Holmes is a feel - good girl - power story that will very in all likelihood not move much beyond its assumption or intended hearing ( who clearly liked the first one enough to make this continuation happen ) , but at least the costumes look fun !
