Enola Holmes 3 receives a first look in a new image, spelling an exciting production update. Based on the books by Nancy Springer, Netflix's film series stars Millie Bobby Brown as the titular teenage sister of the famed detective Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill), who solves mysteries of her own in Victorian-era London. Though the first two films were directed by Harry Bradbeer, Enola Holmes 3 was confirmed in late 2023 and is being directed by Boiling Point and Adolescence's Philip Barantini.

Now, on X, Netflix shared an image showing Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge behind the scenes of Enola Holmes 3. Additionally, the post officially announced that the threequel is now in production. The photo shows the two stars riding in a golf cart on a backlot, with trailers in the background and the Tewkesbury actor holding flowers in his lap. Check out the post below:

What The Enola Holmes 3 BTS Image Means For The Movie

A Production Timeline Has Been Revealed & Cast Are Returning

First and foremost, the behind-the-scenes photo confirms that Enola Holmes 3 is now officially in production, which hints at when filming will eventually wrap and the movie will be released on Netflix. For instance, filming began on Enola Holmes 2 in fall 2021 and wrapped the following January, lasting for about 5 months before being released on Netflix in November 2022. If Enola Holmes 3 takes the same amount of time, followed by post-production, it should be released on Netflix sometime in 2026.

While it was already known that Millie Bobby Brown was returning as Enola Holmes, the behind-the-scenes photo confirms Louis Partridge's return as Tewkesbury. The actor holding flowers in his lap is also a nod to his character who, in the first film, Enola finds selling flowers in Covent Garden Market. Otherwise, Tewkesbury enjoys collecting plants and smelling flowers. Henry Cavill is also expected to return as Sherlock Holmes alongside Himesh Patel as Dr. Watson, who was introduced during Enola Holmes 2's ending.

Our Take On Enola Holmes 3

Are Audiences Growing Tired Of Millie Bobby Brown's Netflix Movies?

While the first two Enola Holmes films were received well, the third will come after Millie Bobby Brown's detour with the Netflix movies Damsel and The Electric State, the former receiving mixed reviews, and the latter being completely eviscerated by critics, posting a dismal 15% Rotten Tomatoes score. With audiences potentially growing tired of Millie Bobby Brown's middling Netflix movies, Enola Holmes 3 could actually end up reinvigorating her career since it is expected to take the series in a more serious direction.
