Millie Bobby Brown has been cast in her first Netflix romantic comedy
The Stranger Things star will team up with LaBelle on the new film for Netflix, which will be directed by The Age of Adeline filmmaker Lee Toland Krieger.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film focuses on two carefree college students left shocked when a glitch in their phones show pictures from 10 years in the future with them as a happily married couple with a family.
However, there is another twist as they haven't actually met yet.
The movie has been written by former Late Show with David Letterman joke scribe Jesse Lasky, with Krieger - who also directed a number of episodes for Netflix series You - at the helm.
Brown - who has been involved in the project since its inception - will be making her first rom-com appearance.
LaBelle's breakout role came as a young Steven Spielberg in his semi-autobiographical drama The Fabelmans, and last year he played Lorne Michaels in Saturday Night.
In November, Brown will be back on screen for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, but she has already been working on other roles away from Eleven.
Earlier this year, she starred with Chris Pratt in sci-fi adventure movie The Electric State, while last year she was in dragon fantasy film Damsel.
The 21-year-old actress has also recently wrapped filming on Elona Holmes 3, which sees her reprising her titular role as Sherlock Holmes teenage detective sister.
As well as Brown, Louis Partridge will be back as Tewkesbury, while Henry Cavill as Sherlock, Helena Bonham-Carter as family matriarch Eudoria Holmes, Himesh Patel as Dr. Watson and Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Moriarty have all signed up to return.
Philip Barantini will direct this time, while his Adolescence collaborator Jack Thorne is once again writing the script, having previously penned the first two movies, which are based on Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes Mysteries series.
A synopsis from Netflix revealed the movie will be set in Malta, where "personal and professional dreams collide in a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before".
Brown previously expressed hope that a third film would be made as she loved playing the role in the 2020 mystery detective movie and the 2022 sequel.
She told Collider: "Obviously. I really hope so. I love Enola, and I know that, now, people are very much invested in the character and the plot, and I can only hope that Netflix provides that trust and opportunity once more."

Trainer Chris Waller praises Tommy Berry's tactical mastery as Cigar Flick storms home to victory at Randwick
Trainer Chris Waller had jockey Tommy Berry to thank after his well-bred mare Cigar Flick scored her first victory in more than a year at Royal Randwick on Saturday. Waller had a different plan in mind for his daughter of Churchill before Berry went off script to produce her with a barnstorming run down the outside to win the ATC Thank You Owners Benchmark 72 Handicap (1100m). 'I was actually watching the race with Charlie (Duckworth) and said 'I don't know what this Tommy is doing, we said we were going to come through them and have the last crack at them',' Waller said. 'Then I said after the race 'that's why Tommy is a jockey and I am a trainer'. He knew what he was doing.' Berry settled Cigar Flick in her customary position towards the rear of the field and ensured the daughter of Churchill kept momentum as they rounded the turn in a four-wide line. Cigar Flick ($13) unleashed a powerful burst down the outside to run over the top of the Matthew Smith -trained World Alliance ($11) to prevail by one-and-a-quarter lengths. John Thompson 's Bundeena ($8) gave them something to catch inside the final furlong before finishing third. 'She is one that you have to ride for bad luck and hope for a bit of good luck,' Berry said. 'Today the opportunity presented to get her to the outside. 'I still had a bum to follow and be patient on her and she reaped the rewards of what's been a consistent preparation without any luck. 'She is in at the right time of year.' Cigar Flick lights it up! ðŸ'¥ The @cwallerracing trained galloper flies down the outside to win giving @TommyBerry21 a race-to-race double! ✌ï¸� â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 26, 2025 • Nashville Jack in fine tune with slashing win Cigar Flick hadn't won for more than a year heading into Saturday but Waller is hoping to win another race with the mare before she is retired to stud later this year. 'She is a lovely horse, beautiful,' Waller said. 'She won't have too much more racing. Her mum is a sister to Fangirl so she is well bred and she will go to stud this year. She has done a great job. 'We will see what else we can find. 'This type of distance and these type of conditions and she can win another one of them.' The win came less than an hour after Berry produced a vastly different ride to score on the Ciaron Maher -trained Lugh. His decision to push forward early on the son of Snitzel in the Marcellin College Benchmark 78 Handicap (1300m) proved decisive. Lugh ($9) travelled well outside the lead and kept finding over in the straight to hold off Chris Waller's Starman ($16) by three-quarters of a length with the Bjorn Baker -trained Slinky ($21) working home strongly for third. It's @TommyBerry21 and @cmaherracing combining in race 7 at Randwick as Lugh salutes! ðŸ'� â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 26, 2025 • 'Sneaky chance': Pride mare shocks rivals at $51 Lugh is still only lightly-raced and has highlighted his considerable talent in just a handful of starts, winning four of six. 'He doesn't have much of a turn of foot but has a big action,' Maher's assistant trainer Johann Gerard-Dubord said. 'On a bigger track here at Randwick was going to suit him better. 'He enjoyed the conditions and I thought Tommy (Berry) rode him really well. 'He is a horse that needs a bit of encouragement, he is very casual and has the best attitude. 'The way Tommy rode him, he kept him on his job.' Stablemate Sacred Rocks was expected to be the horse to beat but was a drifter in betting out to $3.50 and never looked likely. Apprentice Anna Roper made a mid-race move to settle closer on the daughter of Sacred Falls, which ran out of gas over the concluding stages to miss the placings. 'I don't it really work out for Sacred Rocks,' Gerard-Dubord said. 'She was slow away and just had to make that move mid-race. 'She got going early so was always going to be soft late.'

Jeff Bridges 'didn't want to offend' method actor Jared Leto
Jeff Bridges 'didn't want to offend' method actor Jared Leto on the set of Tron: Ares. The 75-year-old actor explained how his co-star wanted to be called by his character's name Ares while they were on set but he struggled to do so as he wanted to build a relationship with Jared, 53. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jeff said at San Diego Comic-Con: 'He's one of those guys. Everyone has different methods and modes man. 'I didn't want to offend him as a thespo. But I thought, 'I wanted to have a certain intimacy with you. I know your name is Ares. Can I just call you Air?' He said, 'Yeah man! You can call me whatever you want!' We had a great time.' And, Jared shared how excited he was to work with Jeff, even calling cut in the middle of a scene because he could not stop smiling. He said: 'I just blurted out, 'cut!' Everyone was surprised, because I don't often do that. The first AD comes over and said, 'Is everything OK? What's wrong?' And I said, 'You know, I just can't stop smiling, because I'm working with my guy.'' The film - which follows on from the events of 2010's 'Tron: Legacy' - follows the computer software Ares (Leto) which is sent from the digital world into the real world to introduce artificial intelligence to humans. Bridges reprises his role as video game designer Kevin Flynn who was first introduced in the 1982 original movie. Writer/ director Steven Lisberger said: 'My feeling about Tron is the most important thing is we kick this technology around artistically before it kicks us around.'

Two Aussies to score multimillion-dollar homes in My Reno Rules
A brand-new renovation reality show, My Reno Rules, is set to hit screens and it's turning the real estate game on its head. Fronted by Dr Chris Brown, the series will see four Aussie battler teams go head-to-head to transform two neighbouring homes in a picturesque Melbourne suburb, all with a multimillion-dollar prize on the line. But this time, the real winners could be watching from the couch. In a television first, two lucky Australians will score the keys to the spectacularly renovated homes, fully furnished, landscaped, and packed with luxury features, simply by tuning in. The renovation teams will be vying for a cash prize. "It may be the biggest giveaway ever on Australian TV," Brown told Seven's Sunrise on Thursday. "If you're not especially gifted on a circular saw or picking a colour palette, it's quite appealing to know at the end of this series, live, you could win the homes you have just seen created during the show. "It is remarkable. It is an enormous, life-changing prize. These are two Australians who are going to get a brand-new designer home." The homes, donated by LMCT+ founder Adrian Portelli, will be completely overhauled on screen, with the renovation teams competing for a separate cash prize. And as one of the partners of the show, will be helping Aussies follow every nail gun, paint swatch and property transformation from start to finish, with exclusive content, expert insights and digital tools to help viewers understand what really adds value to a home. "On previous reno shows, they might do auctions and, unfortunately, only 1 per cent of the viewing audience have the capacity to buy those homes," Portelli said. "So, it's an awesome feeling to be able to take the viewers on an emotional journey, watch the houses get renovated and transformed into a dream luxury home, then potentially win it. "It's fantastic. It's phenomenal." Whether you're renovating your own place or just love stickybeaking into stunning spaces, this is must-watch television. Seven's Director of Television Angus Ross said My Reno Rules takes all the emotion, competition and high-stakes drama of My Kitchen Rules and brings it into the property world, with even higher rewards. "With showstopping house transformations, a life-changing cash prize for our winning team of renovators, and two multimillion-dollar dream homes up for grabs in an electrifying live grand final, we couldn't be more excited for the premiere of My Reno Rules. "It's going to be next level."
