Production has officially begun on Enola Holmes 3, the third film in the hit Sherlock Holmes spin-off movie series. The film is now in production at Shepperton Studios in the UK. This is the exciting homecoming for highly popular characters and storylines which have won the hearts of millions around the world. This upcoming Netflix original film is shaping up to be a much darker affair than its franchise forbearers.
Once again, Millie Bobby Brown returns as Enola Holmes, the younger sister of the world-famous sleuth, Sherlock Holmes. It turns out, Brown has taken on a few different roles throughout the production. She not only stars, but produces it through her production company, PCMA Productions. The production team includes legendary entertainment talents Mary Parent, Ali Mendes and Alex Garcia from Legendary Entertainment. Combined, they’re moving the film’s courageous and ambitious vision into action.
The decision to adopt a darker iteration for “Enola Holmes 3” reflects the evolving nature of storytelling in the franchise. Even in those earlier movies, there was still a more playful tone. Going forward, the story will explore deeper themes and the struggles of its characters. Exact plot information is still being kept secret. Whatever the answer, fans are anticipating what this change in tone will look like on screen.
Filming Locations and Schedule
This includes the production facilities at Shepperton Studios, where “Enola Holmes 3” will shoot. For the last few weeks of production, the crew is traveling to Malta. This gorgeous locale should greatly increase the cinematic beauty of the film, offering jaw-dropping vistas for pivotal moments in the movie. The union of UK and Maltese settings promises an evocative, action-packed backdrop that will enhance the story to come.
The production schedule attempts to keep everything moving in production while still following strict safety measures. Which is precisely why the filmmakers are so focused on creating a superior creative product that adds to the legacy built by prior franchise installments. We’ll let you know the expected release date for “Enola Holmes 3” once filming wraps up.
Returning Cast and New Collaborations
Though nothing is confirmed officially, the grapevine says a handful of major players could be back. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Henry Cavill, Louis Partridge, and Helena Bonham Carter could reprise their roles alongside Millie Bobby Brown. Their possible reappearance would add much continuity and nostalgia to the series. People who have been watching their storylines across the entire franchise would be overjoyed.
This movie similarly continues the fruitful partnership between director Philip Barantini and Netflix, with this under-the-radar flick being the pair’s second major collaboration. Barantini’s experience with the streaming giant may bring a fresh perspective to “Enola Holmes 3,” enhancing its overall appeal.
