Updated: Apr 1, 2023

Bringing back the cheeky, witty, beloved and action-packed young-adult iteration of the Holmes universe, Harry Bradbeer’s sequel to the 2020 Netflix hit Enola Holmes, is a film relevant to today’s political climate reminding us that history repeats itself. With equal parts clue-imbued deduction and action, Enola Holmes 2 makes for a titillating and stimulating watch that does not skimp on the intrigue that befits the Holmes name.

Note:

Interestingly, Sherlock’s elusive social status as a bachelor and being “clueless about women” also played a pivotal role in the creation of Enola Holmes, as it allowed the story writer Nacy Springer to write a character that “could blindside him time after time.” And blindside it does. Nancy has also stated that Enola is partially based on her own life which is also something that permeates through the screen as can be said for a number of women especially those starting their professional careers and facing the uphill battle of climbing the societal ladder of proving themselves as professional women in their chosen profession but Enola does it wearing an uncomfortable corset while famously breaking the fourth wall adding a direct sense of connection with the audience.

Cast :

Alongside the acting sensation Millie Bobby Brown and smouldering talented, kind, warm and devilishly handsome Sherlock, Henry Cavill, other returning characters include Louis Partridge as progressive Lord Tewkesbury, Helena Bonham Carter as Enola’s new-age mother Eudoria, Adeel Akhtar as detective Lestrade and Susan Wokoma as kickass Edith.


There are two surprise cast introductions at the end that will leave the fan of Sherlock Holmes gasping with anticipation of the next sequel.
