Millie Bobby Brown’s ‘Enola Holmes 3’ To Take a 'Harry Potter' Turn With Netflix Greenlighting the Ambitious Project

Published 11/21/2024, 8:35 PM EST

Millie Bobby Brown does have the tendency to create a blockbuster everywhere she goes. The actress, despite her tender age, managed to shoot through the skies with her role in Stranger Things and spun the wheels of time to impress Rumplestiltskin with her performance in the periodic mystery epic, Enola Holmes. While pretty firm on its themes of being a wholesome, funny, and engaging tale about Sherlock Holmes' sister, as the franchise gears up for its threquel, changes are in order.

Much like her role in the science fiction extravaganza, as Brown came close to outgrowing the chirpy girl from the detective franchise, a magical twist very much akin to that of Harry Potter is allegedly ready to be swooped in.

As the content that can be enjoyed by all age demographics becomes as scarce as ever, Enola Holmes happens to be the best bet for all. Released during the pandemic, the movie with star badges like Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill attached to it, has a fanbase as devoted as that of Harry Potter. It was either this similarity or simply Philip Barantini's genius that he suggested to dive into darker themes with Enola Holmes 3, just like the Harry Potter franchise did with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, as reported by Deadline.

While Philip Barantini's involvement is still in the talks as of now, the streaming giant was thoroughly impressed by his suggestion of getting intense with the franchise, which, given its incredibly thrilling catalog of thrillers, is an idea that has always worked for Netflix.

While parents do not have favorites, streamers definitely do, and for Netflix, that favorite child is Millie Bobby Brown. Having brought her in at not just the age of but also as Eleven, the streamer has its claws on anything the actress does. Except for the likes of Jumanji: The Next Level and her earlier works, most of the actress' projects are in cahoots with Netflix. Therefore, playing safe after her bid off from Stranger Things, Enola Holmes 3 is likely to be her big foray into the next chapter of her career.

It is also evident with picks like Damsel that Brown is edging towards roles that challenge her and definitely do not require her to do telekinesis or shave her head. And with Enola Holmes 3 already drawing inspirations from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the deal is all placed on a silver platter for the actress.
