Guy Ritchie’s new series Young Sherlock is inching closer to a premiere date.
The upcoming Prime Video series is an adaptation of Andrew Lane’s book series of the same name. Starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After) in the title role, Young Sherlock charts the early years of Sherlock Holmes in an irreverent, action-laden mystery that follows the iconic detective’s early adventures.
Aiming to preserve the wit and charm of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes films, Young Sherlock follows the origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective. According to the streamer’s description, we first meet Holmes as a disgraced young man – raw and unfiltered – who finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that threatens his liberty.
Holmes’ first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy that changes his life forever. Unfolding in 1870s Oxford and adventuring abroad (with scenes filmed in Bristol, Cardiff, Seville, and Cádiz) the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street’s most renowned resident.
Previously announced cast members of Young Sherlock include Dónal Finn (The Wheel of Time), Zine Tseng (3 Body Problem), Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale), Natascha McElhone (Halo), Max Irons (Condor) and Colin Firth (The King’s Speech).
Guy Ritchie both directs and executive produces.
The series is written and executive produced by showrunner Matthew Parkhill with executive producers Dhana Gilbert, Marc Resteghini, Simon Maxwell, Ivan Atkinson, Simon Kelton, Colin Wilson, and co-executive producers Harriet Creelman and Steve Thompson.
