Netflix's Enola Holmes Is Back On The Case With First Photos Of Upcoming Sequel

In 2020’s Enola Holmes film, Millie Bobby Brown stepped out of Hawkins and into Victorian England as Enola, the sister of Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill). Based on the first book in the young adult fiction series of the same name by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes is back on a new case.

In the upcoming sequel, Enola Holmes opens her own agency, but being a young woman private detective isn’t exactly how she planned it. Just when she’s about to quit, a matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister. Enola turns to her friends, and brother, once again to solve this crime. Check out the first photos below.

Fans might remember that the Conan Doyle Estate filed a lawsuit against Netflix over the film, claiming it violated copyright by depicting Sherlock Holmes as “having emotions.” It argued this aspect of the character did not fall under the public domain as he was only described as having emotions in stories published between 1923 and 1927, and the copyright for the stories published in that period still had not expired under copyright law in the United States.

On October 30, 2020, lawyers for the defendants filed a motion to dismiss, saying the estate was unfairly attempting to prevent the fair use of characters that are “undeniably in the public domain” and dismissed soon after.

Upon premiering, the first Enola Holmes was the second most-watched item on Netflix, just behind the TV series Ratched. Over its first five days, it was the most watched film on Netflix, as it would go on to become the biggest first-day opening Netflix title in 2020.

Enola Holmes 2 stars Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, David Thewlis, Louis Partridge, Susan Wokoma, Adeel Akhtar, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and Helena Bonham Carter and hits Netflix on November 4.
