Enola Holmes 3 Confirmed With Millie Bobby Brown Returning
Netflix has officially greenlit Enola Holmes 3, with Millie Bobby Brown reprising her role as the sharp-witted teenage detective. The announcement, made early Monday, comes after months of speculation fueled by the franchise's strong performance and fan demand. Brown confirmed her return on Instagram, writing, "The game is afoot—again."
The third installment follows the success of Enola Holmes 2 (2022), which became one of Netflix's most-watched films. Henry Cavill is also expected to return as Sherlock Holmes, though Netflix has not yet confirmed his involvement. Production is slated to begin later this year, with a likely 2027 release.
The news is trending today as fans celebrate the continuation of the beloved franchise. Social media erupted with excitement, with #EnolaHolmes3 quickly climbing Twitter's trending list in the U.S. The series, based on Nancy Springer's book series, has resonated with audiences for its feminist twist on classic detective storytelling.
Netflix has not disclosed plot details, but insiders suggest the new film may explore Enola's growing independence in Victorian London. The first two movies were praised for blending mystery, humor, and historical commentary, drawing over 100 million views combined.
Brown, who also produces the films, has called Enola a "defining role" in her career. The franchise's success has cemented her status as a leading young Hollywood star beyond Stranger Things. Industry analysts note the series' appeal to both younger viewers and adults, a key factor in Netflix's decision.
With filming expected to start by fall 2026, casting for new characters is underway. Fans are already speculating about potential villains and historical figures Enola might encounter next. The confirmation ends months of rumors after Brown hinted at "big news" in a recent interview.
Enola Holmes 3 joins Netflix's expanding lineup of YA-friendly book adaptations. The streamer has increasingly relied on established franchises to retain subscribers amid competition. The announcement also comes as Brown prepares for the final season of Stranger Things, keeping her in the spotlight.
No director has been confirmed yet, though Harry Bradbeer, who helmed the first two films, is likely to return. The previous movies were shot primarily in the UK, and similar locations are expected for the sequel. Further details are anticipated at Netflix's upcoming Tudum fan event in June.
