What do Netflix’s Adolescence and Enola Holmes have in widespread? Effectively, nothing on the floor. The truth is, they couldn’t be extra completely different. Nevertheless, they’ve a couple of very robust commonalities. One is that they’re each large hits that may be streamed with a Netflix subscription, clearly. The second, and the extra necessary one, is that they share a director and author, Philip Barantini and Jack Thorne, respectively, as they’re now each set to work on Enola Holmes 3.
After creating and directing Adolescence, which has been one of many smash hits of the 2025 TV schedule, Thorne and Barantini are staying at Netflix to pen and direct the third Enola Holmes film, respectively. Earlier this 12 months, their crime drama collection made waves because of its one-take episodes and intense story. So, with that in thoughts, Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge introduced their threequel’s manufacturing with this delightfully becoming (and low-key worrying) oner:
Now, Enola Holmes and Adolescence are two titles I by no means anticipated to put in writing in the identical sentence (except in the event that they someway wound up in Netflix’s schedule across the similar time). Nevertheless, right here we’re. And their connection truly makes a lot sense.
Philip Barantini is a very new addition to this world, with Enola Holmes 3 serving as his follow-up to Adolescence.
In the meantime, Jack Thorne is definitely one of many masterminds behind each tasks. He co-created and wrote the binge-worthy Adolescence, and for the previous few months, all the main target has been on that. Nevertheless, he’s additionally one of many folks behind Enola Holmes, one other wickedly profitable Netflix challenge. He wrote the screenplay for each of the movies about Sherlock Holmes’ youthful sister, and he’s writing the script for this third movie as nicely.
Now, Enola Holmes 3 will notably be the primary movie on this collection that Harry Bradbeer didn’t direct. Whereas he did a great job with the primary two, I’ve to confess the thought of getting Barantini’s voice within the combine to supply a brand new tackle Milly Bobby Brown’s character excites me.
Plus, what makes this even higher is that Barantini has a historical past with Thorne. They each performed pivotal roles in Adolescence. I’d additionally assume that if Adolescence will get a Season 2, they’d collaborate once more for it, contemplating how nicely their first installment was obtained. So, we all know they know find out how to work collectively nicely, and hopefully, which means we’ll be in for one thing particular with Enola Holmes 3.
I additionally hope it means we’ll get some cool one-take photographs in Enola Holmes. That methodology of filming was Adolescence’s complete factor, and I believe this Sherlock Holmes adjoining thriller may gain advantage from it too. These movies have a lot quick speaking and superb motion in them, it’d be ten instances extra enjoyable to see Enola in a stroll and discuss with one in every of her brothers or evading a nasty man whereas operating via the streets in a shot that has no cuts.
Now that we all know Enola Holmes 3 is lastly taking place with such an thrilling filmmaker, the fantasies about what might occur in it are flying round in my thoughts. Based on Netflix, the film will happen in Malta, the place our favourite younger crime solver will face “a case extra tangled and treacherous than she has confronted earlier than.” We additionally know that alongside Brown and Partidge, Henry Cavill will reprise his function as Sherlock and Himesh Patel will be a part of the forged as Watson!
General, this seems like a challenge Philip Barantini and Jack Thorne can have a blast with, and I can’t wait to see the place they take this story now that they’ve Adolescence below their belts (hopefully, it contains some unbelievable oners).
