Netflix acquires Millie Bobby Brown's 'ENOLA HOLMES'
“To be a man, apparently, was to lack the ability to be a woman”
Awesome news. Netflix has acquired the rights to distribute Millie Bobby Brown’s Sherlock Holmes spinoff, Enola Holmes!
The deal feels like a win-win during this current time of uncertainty. Fans get the chance to see a high profile studio film without paying premium early release fees. While Netflix continues to showcase their original programming darlings including Brown and her handsome onscreen brothers, Henry Cavill - as seen in The Witcher - and Sam Claflin - currently starring in Love Wedding Repeat.
Legendary’s film will adapt source material from Nancy Springer’s published series and will center around the disappearance of Enola's mother, Eudoria, (Helen Bonham Carter) on her 16th birthday. It remains to be seen just how much Enola's older brothers - Sherlock (Cavill) and Mycroft (Claflin) - will figure into the story, however, THR's story suggests the elder Holmes boys will inevitably overlook their younger sister's budding investigative abilities.
Fleabag’s Harry Bradbeer will direct from a script written by Jack Thorne.
Netflix has yet to announce a release date.
