Netflix Acquires Movie About Sherlock's Teen Sister Starring Henry Cavill

Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown and The Witcher's Henry Cavill are staying in the Netflix family. Legendary Entertainment announced today that Netflix has acquired global rights, excluding China, to Enola Holmes, starring Brown and Cavill. Based on Nancy Springer’s Edgar Award-nominated book series, The Enola Holmes Mysteries, Enola Holmes sees Brown playing the title character, the young sister of Sherlock Holmes, played by Cavill. Here's the official plot synopsis:

"Enola Holmes tells the story of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes’ rebellious teen sister Enola, a gifted super-sleuth in her own right who often outsmarts her brilliant siblings. When her mother mysteriously disappears on her 16th birthday, Enola seeks help from her older brothers. But soon realizing they’re less interested in solving the case than in packing her off to finishing school, Enola does the only thing a smart, resourceful and fearless young 1880s woman can do… she runs away to London to find her.

Meeting a cast of memorable characters along the way, Enola’s caught in the middle of a conspiracy that could alter the course of political history. Enola Holmes puts a dynamic new female twist on the world’s greatest detective and his brilliant family."

Award winner Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) directs Enola Holmes from a screenplay adaptation penned by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child). In addition to Brown and Cavill, the cast of Enola Holmes includes Helena Bonham Carter, Sam Claflin, Adeel Akhtar, Fiona Shaw, Frances de la Tour, Louis Partridge, and Burn Gorman.
