The trailer and key art have been released for the new Guy Ritchie series for Prime Video, here’s everything we know about it so far:
What’s it about?
We’re sure you’ve already worked out the premise of the series, but Young Sherlock jumps in at the deep end, starting strong with Sherlock Holmes quickly crossing paths with none other than James Moriarty himself. He finds himself increasingly involved with a murder investigation against his will, which threatens his liberty. Tackling his first case ever, we follow a trail of clues spanning the entire globe during the Victorian era. Unveiling secrets and conspiracies at home and abroad changes the life of the teenage investigator, slowly shaping him into Baker Street’s finest.
Who’s in it?
The titular role will be taken on by Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After). Starring alongside him are 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). There’s a potential for more cast to be announced as the eight episode run covers a litany of locations, leaving more roles to be filled.
Who’s behind it?
Guy Ritchie (Snatch) is set to direct the series, having previously been behind two popular film adaptations of the detective story, starring Robert Downey Jr. Matthew Parkhill (Deep State) is the show’s creator and show runner, with Dhana Rivera Gilbert (Boardwalk Empire), Marc Resteghini (Rings), Simon Maxwell (Killing Bono), Ivan Atkinson (The Covenant), Simon Kelton (Eddie the Eagle) and Colin Wilson (Avatar) executive producing.
