From Christopher Lee to Basil Rathbone, Sherlock Holmes has always been synonymous with deductive reasoning and iconic deerstalkers. That is until Enola Holmes joined him, springing from the mind of author Nancy Springer.

Other opportunities quickly followed, not least of which was the title role in Enola Holmes alongside Henry Cavill. Written by Jack Thorne (His Dark Materials) and featuring Helena Bonham Carter, this adventurous romp around Victorian London confirmed her star power and a sequel was inevitable.
