Enola Holmes 3 Confirmed By Netflix

The first role Netflix let Millie Bobby Brown play besides Eleven was Enola Holmes. Based on the young adult novels by Nancy Springer, the two existing movies follow the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes as she has her own adventures both separate from and adjacent to her famous detective relative. Enola was a totally different character than Eleven — she frequently talked to the audience and narrated her own story in real time.

Millie’s now done playing El (as far as we know) and since no one seemed to latch on to Michelle from The Electric State, that leaves Enola, who’s coming back for a third round of spunky sleuthing and fourth wall shattering. Netflix announced that production on Enola Holmes 3 is now under way in the UK.

You can usually tell when a second movie is setting itself up to be a trilogy. It introduces mysteries without explaining them and leaves plot threads hanging, things it never did in the first movie. Enola Holmes 2 was…NOT that kind of movie. It expanded the world of the first film but didn’t pull any unfair teases. I fully believed two were all they planned to make and, as far as I know, so did they. That universe wrapped itself up pretty neatly, but I suppose it can be unwrapped just as quickly. This third movie is a surprise, but I’ll take it — I enjoyed the first two.

Everyone’s returning…besides Brown, Henry Cavill will reprise Sherlock (oh, you’ll come back to this but NOT The Witcher, hmm?) and Louis Partridge will resume playing Enola’s love interest Lord Tewkesbury. Watson, who was introduced in the final moments of EH2, will be played by the same person, Himesh Patel. Rounding out the cast are Helena Bonham Carter as Eudoria Holmes and Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Moriarty.

No word yet on when we could be seeing this, but here’s the synopsis from Netflix. Enola Homes 3 is filming now.

Even on holiday, mystery follows Enola Holmes, and you’re invited along for the ride. That’s right: Millie Bobby Brown is back as Sherlock Holmes’ equally brilliant younger sister in Enola Holmes 3, now in production in the UK.

The latest installment in the adventures of the young detective sees her tackling another mystery, this time on the island nation of Malta. You’ll have to wait and see what brings her there — but once she’s arrived, Enola is flung into a nest of vipers. As the private detective juggles a new case and the next stages of her relationship with Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge), the game is truly afoot.
