Millie Bobby Brown stars as the titular heroine, while Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Adeel Akhtar, Fiona Shaw, s de la Tour, and Louis Partridge appear in ing roles. Brown's Enola is a dauntless young girl who is searching for her missing mother while helping a runaway lord. Her older brothers, however, don't approve of her intrepid ways, which forces Enola to use her sleuthing skills to outsmart them.
Enola Holmes premiered on Netflix, September 23, 2020, to unsurprising popularity. In only a day of its release, the film became the most popular movie on the streamer, sitting proudly at #2 on the Netflix Top Ten list. With Brown and Cavill's involvement in the film, there was never any doubt about Enola Holmes becoming a hit. But what was surprising about the film, however, were its astonishingly rave reviews. Enola Holmes boasts a whopping 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising the film for its charming performances and effervescent storyline. Given its star power, positive reception, and overwhelming fame, it won't be surprising if Enola Holmes became the basis of a new franchise. In fact, even the movie's director is hopeful about some sequels.
During an interview with Enola Holmes sequel movie. "I think we would love it if it would happen."
If provided with an opportunity, Bradbeer wouldn't even hold back on making five more Enola Holmes films. The director believes that there are several stories remaining in the dysfunctional Holmes family that haven't yet been told, and he would love to render the tales into movies if he still has the energy. Bradbeer also believes that if he makes more Enola Holmes films, he would probably venture into the early 20th century. "As you go forward, things like that three-wheeled car—which was a lovely thing we discovered — to find our characters playing on some of the new contraptions, at some point in the early 20th century," said Bradbeer. "Who knows what other challenges are going to come out of this really restless, productive period."
Nancy Springer had based her stories on the heels of the industrial revolution, in an era that was characterized by fruitful scientific discoveries and monumental social revolutions. The time setting enabled Springer to set a progressive tone to her stories and convey feminist themes relatable to the world today. Bradbeer realizes Springer's literary strategy, and he, therefore, wants to incorporate it into his Enola Holmes sequels. If Bradbeer is allowed to make more movies within the franchise, only then will the cumulative goal of Enola Holmes' source material be achieved. Enola Holmes was an out-and-out success for Netflix, and with its lead star also being interested in a sequel, the streamer should have no reservations about ordering a follow-up film.
