Netflix may have bid farewell to Henry Cavill’s fan-favorite monster-hunter in The Witcher, but the British star is seemingly not slipping out of their grasp just yet. Having made the Enola Holmes film series a hit, the 41-year-old alongside the Netflix star Millie Bobby Brown successfully revived classic charm with a fresh twist. Now, as talks for a third installment heat up, fans of the detective mystery have some surprising updates to look forward to. 

For those fans who never get their fill of the endless mysteries, here is a detailed rundown of all the latest news on Enola Holmes 3.

According to What’s On Netflix's latest report, Enola Holmes is all set for a third installment on the streaming platform. The project was announced late last year, based on sources and production lists. More recent reports confirm Millie Bobby Brown’s return as the titular Enola Holmes, while Henry Cavill is under consideration for resuming his role as Sherlock Holmes. Additionally, Louis Patridge was being looked at for a comeback as Viscount Tewkesbury.

Production Weekly reported earlier that Susan Wokoma and Adeel Akhtar will reprise their roles as Edith and Lestrade, respectively. Reports also suggest that Netflix is moving forward with the third film, with production potentially starting in early 2025. However, some details are still pending. Harry Bradbeer, who directed the first two films, is expected to return to the third alongside Jack Thorne as the writer, but this has yet to be officially confirmed.

While this update is significant given the silence on the third film until now, it naturally raises the question: what will Enola Holmes 3 be about?

Enola Holmes no longer adheres strictly to the book series, making it challenging to predict the plot of the third installment based on the source material. However, fans can look at the ending of the second film for some clues about the direction of the threequel. With the factory poison conspiracy resolved, Enola Holmes opens a new detective agency in London. Sherlock, played by Henry Cavill, now has a new roommate: the renowned Dr. John Watson. 

While it is hard to pinpoint the exact storyline, Enola Holmes will probably be on the trail of her next case in London. Additionally, with Sherlock’s arch-nemesis Moriarty having escaped, he could potentially be the main antagonist in the upcoming film or any such future entries. However, ultimately, fans will have to wait and see if the Netflix threequel follows the books or surprises with a new direction.
