Set in the late 1800s, Enola Holmes is a journey of self-discovery when a young girl ventures into the outer world. But the story is much more adventurous because she is the teenage sister of the notorious genius Sherlock Holmes. Directed by Harry Bradbeer, the mystery drama cast Millie Bobby Brown as an extremely intelligent and skillful girl who defies the social norms for women of the time. The actress has always been a charmer; we have seen her smashing performance in Stranger Things.

So it is unquestionable that the creators are developing a sequel, seeing the admiration it received from critics in 2020. However, this enormous success was not easy to digest for Millie as she never imagined they would get praise, even from celebrities.
