Enola Holmes amassed a whopping 76 1000000 views in its start month on the platform, then it's no wonder we're getting a sequel!

Enola Holmes 2 release date speculation

Netflix announced that it ordered Enola Holmes 2 on its social media accounts on May thirteen, only there's no news of a release appointment simply however.

Enola Holmes debuted on Netflix in September 2020, but hoping for the sequel to drib in the same calendar month this twelvemonth seems like a fruitless endeavor. Let'south not forget that the star of the film, Millie Bobby Brown, is reprising her role as Xi in Stranger Things season 4. There are only and then many hours in the day, so we can't imagine the actress has been juggling filming a new serial and a movie at the same time.

With the new flavor of Stranger Things pegged for release next year, nosotros're guessing Enola Holmes 2 will follow later in 2022 — possibly in the same September window equally the showtime moving-picture show.

Enola Holmes 2 cast

We're not entirely in the dark about Enola Holmes 2. Netflix's announcement tweet confirmed the return of Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes and Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes.

The relationship between the two siblings in the first film wasn't really explored, with the titular Enola forging her own path, and Sherlock and elder blood brother Mycroft acting more than as a hindrance.

Netflix was embroiled in a lawsuit final year post-obit the release of Enola Holmes, for its depiction of Sherlock; according to the manor of Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes is portrayed as as well emotional and warm, and coupled with this respect for woman, the summation of those traits was apparently tantamount to copyright infringement (via The Guardian).

The lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, so it may have been settled backside closed doors, only it'll be interesting to see how that plays out with Cavill returning to play the world-famous detective once again.

While Enola wrapped up her first mystery, in that location'south enough of room for her familial ties to be revisited. But at this stage we don't know if Sam Claflin will be dorsum to shoulder the drapery of Mycroft Holmes, or if Helena Bonham Carter will be making an advent as Eudoria Holmes.

Unless Enola's next outing is drastically removed from where nosotros left her in the streets of London, Mycroft and Eudoria are well-nigh certainly going to render, alongside Adeel Akhtar every bit Inspector Lestrade. However, until we get confirmation, that's but pure speculation/ wishful thinking for at present.

Enola Holmes 2 plot and story

The commencement Enola Holmes film took inspiration from the first book, The Example of the Missing Marquess. As most adaptations do, the film did change some things, similar Enola's age and the details of Lord Tewksbury's disappearance.

Enola Holmes 2 could accept its story from any of the other books, but most likely, it'll be the second ane, The Example of the Left-Handed Lady. Information technology follows Enola trying to discover Lady Cecily Alistair, who disappeared from her sleeping room.
