Enola Holmes 3 officially starts production with Adolescence director taking the helm
This new chapter marks the directorial debut of Philip Barantini, who previously contributed to Netflix's record-breaking film Adolescence. Barantini takes over from Harry Bradbeer, who directed the first two films. The script for the third film has been written by Jack Thorne, who collaborated with Barantini on Adolescence and has penned the scripts for all three Enola Holmes films. Barantini's entrance to the franchise was revealed by an interesting video shared by the actors.
The series is based on The Enola Holmes Mysteries book series by Nancy Springer, focusing on the teenage sister of famed detective Sherlock Holmes. The third film will take Enola Holmes to Malta, where she faces a case 'more tangled and treacherous' than anything she has encountered before, blending both personal and professional challenges.
Producers for Enola Holmes 3 include Mary Parent, Ali Mendes, and Alex Garcia from Legendary Entertainment, alongside Millie Bobby Brown and her production company, PCMA Productions. Executive producers are Jake Bongiovi, Isobel Richards (PCMA), Joshua Grode (Legendary), and Michael Dreyer.
The Enola Holmes franchise has been both a critical and commercial success for Netflix. The second film, Enola Holmes 2, debuted at the top of Netflix's global weekly viewing charts in late 2022, with over 68 million hours streamed across 93 countries. Millie Bobby Brown, who plays the lead role, was reportedly paid $10 million for her performance in the second film, marking the highest upfront salary for an actor under 20 at the time.
