Last year, Enola Holmes hit Netflix and became an instant hit. The movie currently stands on Rotten Tomatoes with a 91% critics score and a 70% audience score and the movie’s star, Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown, previously said she hoped to make a sequel. “I fell in love with her,” Brown said of the titular role. According to Deadline, Brown has gotten her wish! Not only will she be returning for an Enola Holmes sequel, but Henry Cavill, who played Sherlock Holmes in the first film, is also expected to return.
“I can’t wait to collaborate again with my Enola Holmes family! Enola holds a special place in my heart โ she’s strong, fearless, intelligent, and brave,” Brown said. “I look forward to fans seeing how her journey continues!”

In addition to the returning cast members, the Enola Holmes sequel will also see the return of director Harry Bradbeer and writer Jack Thorne. The Enola Holmes Mysteries book series is made up of six books, but it’s currently unclear the direction they’re taking or if they plan to tackle all six stories.
Enola Holmes sees Brown as the younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, who was played by Sam Claflin while Helena Bonham Carter portrayed the trio’s mother. Neither Clafin nor Carter were mentioned in the Deadline report, but fans would certainly love to see them again. The first movie also featured Adeel Akhtar, Fiona Shaw, Frances de la Tour, Burn Gorman, and Susan Wokoma.

Meeting a cast of memorable characters along the way, Enola’s caught in the middle of a conspiracy that could alter the course of political history.
