Netflix has shared the official trailer and poster for Enola Holmes 2, launching globally on the streaming service on November 4, 2022. In the highly-anticipated sequel, Enola Holmes is now a detective-for-hire like her infamous brother and takes on her first official case to find a missing girl.
The cast includes Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, David Thewlis, Louis Partridge, Susan Wokoma, Adeel Akhtar, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and Helena Bonham Carter.
Fresh off the triumph of solving her first case, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) follows in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill), and opens her own agency – only to find that life as a female detective-for-hire isn’t as easy as it seems.
Resigned to accept the cold realities of adulthood, she is about to close shop when a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister.
But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world – from London’s sinister factories and colorful music halls to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself.
As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends — and Sherlock himself — to unravel her mystery. The game, it seems, has found its feet again!
Enola Holmes 2 is directed by Harry Bradbeer (Enola Holmes, Fleabag, Killing Eve, Ramy) from a screenplay by Jack Thorne and a story by Harry Bradbeer & Jack Thorne.
The franchise is based on Nancy Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries book series. Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Ali Mendes, Millie Bobby Brown, and Robert Brown are the producers.
The executive producers are Joshua Grode, Michael Dreyer, Paige Brown, Jane Houston, Harry Bradbeer, and Jack Thorne. The music is by Daniel Pemberton.
In the first film, released in September 2020 on Netflix, Enola Holmes woke the morning of her 16th birthday to find that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) had disappeared, leaving behind an odd assortment of gifts but no apparent clue as to where she’s gone or why.
After a free-spirited childhood, Enola suddenly found herself under the care of her brothers Sherlock and Mycroft (Sam Claflin), both set on sending her away to a finishing school for “proper” young ladies.
Refusing to follow their wishes, Enola escaped to search for her mother in London. But when her journey found her entangled in a mystery surrounding a young runaway Lord (Partridge), Enola became a super-sleuth in her own right, outwitting her famous brother as she unraveled a conspiracy that threatened to set back the course of history.
