Enola Holmes 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
The Enola Holmes franchise has captivated audiences with its fresh take on the Sherlock Holmes universe, blending mystery, humor, and a strong female lead. With Enola Holmes (2020) and Enola Holmes 2 (2022) earning critical acclaim and topping Netflix's viewership charts, fans are eagerly awaiting Enola Holmes 3 . Here's everything we know about the upcoming film, including release date speculation, cast, and potential plot details. Enola Holmes 3 Release Date Speculation As of May 2025, Enola Holmes 3 is currently in production, with filming taking place in the UK and Malta. While Netflix hasn't announced an official release date, filming began in April 2025 and is expected to wrap by July. Considering the franchise's previous timelines—where Enola Holmes 2 released about 18 months after its announcement—it's unlikely the third film will premiere before the end of 2025. A more realistic window is early to mid-2026, possibly between March and June, although Netflix might opt for a later release to align with a strategic fall slot. Enola Holmes 3 Expected cast The Enola Holmes series thrives on its stellar ensemble, and Enola Holmes 3 brings back familiar faces. Here's the expected cast: Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes : The heart of the franchise, Brown returns as the witty, fourth-wall-breaking detective. Her star power, bolstered by Stranger Things and Damsel , anchors the series. Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes : Cavill reprises his role as Enola's older brother, the iconic detective. His dynamic with Enola is a fan favorite, and he's confirmed to return. Helena Bonham Carter as Eudoria Holmes : The Holmes family matriarch, Eudoria, is back, bringing her eccentric and rebellious spirit. Louis Partridge as Viscount Tewkesbury : Enola's love interest and confidant, Tewkesbury, returns, with his relationship with Enola expected to deepen. Himesh Patel as Dr. John Watson : Introduced in Enola Holmes 2 's post-credits scene, Patel's Watson is confirmed to appear, likely teaming up with Sherlock and Enola. Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Moriarty: The villainous Moriarty, who escaped prison in Enola Holmes 2 , is set to return, promising chaos for the Holmes siblings. Enola Holmes 3 Potential Plot While Netflix is keeping the plot under wraps, the official synopsis and franchise trends offer clues about Enola Holmes 3 's story: 'Adventure chases detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where personal and professional dreams collide on a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before.' The shift to Malta suggests an international mystery, possibly involving political intrigue or a high-stakes crime. This new backdrop could introduce exotic locations and cultural elements, differentiating it from the London-centric first two films. The Enola Holmes films loosely adapt Nancy Springer's The Enola Holmes Mysteries . The third book, The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets , centers on Dr. Watson's disappearance and a cryptic bouquet symbolizing death. While Enola Holmes 2 diverged from the books, Enola Holmes 3 may draw elements from this novel, especially since Watson is now in the mix. Enola and Sherlock might race to find Watson, clashing or collaborating. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Jon Bon Jovi and Wife Dorothea ‘Adore' Millie Bobby Brown: His Daughter-In-Law Is ‘Truly Wonderful'
has been heaping praise on her father-in-law Jon Bon Jovi recently and a source exclusively tells Life & Style the feeling's mutual, as the rock legend brags how he and equally-impressed wife Dorothy Hurley have hit the jackpot with their dream daughter-in-law. 'Jon adores Millie, and not just because she makes Jake so happy, he thinks she's a truly wonderful young lady with her head screwed on right,' the insider says. On the March 12 episode of the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, the Stranger Things alum discussed her marriage to Jake Bongiovi and gushed about how much she treasures him and his family. The two got hitched in May 2024, when Millie was just 20, after first being linked romantically in June 2021. Though, despite being young, the Damsel star, now 21, felt 100 percent certain Jake, 22, was the one. 'We've been together for four years. When we moved in together, we had dogs together, and we were taking care of our animals, and we started living this day-to-day life, I thought, 'Oh, I really don't think I could ever see you as anything else. I don't want to be with anyone else ever again. I don't want to date, I don't want to meet anyone, I want you,' she told host Alexandra Cooper. Millie added they agreed on almost every big issue when it comes to relationships, another green flag for her to go ahead with the nuptials. 'When we started talking about politics and how we want to raise our kids, we started talking about really, really big things that I've never spoken about, and I'm already very young, so I've never spoken about that with boys anyway,' she said. 'But to be able to even think about those things, I was like, 'S--t. Maybe I do want to be with him forever.' I didn't know if he felt that way. We talked about marriage, but I didn't really know when it was going to be. When he proposed, it made sense. Everything aligned.' Not only does Millie's philosophy align with her husband's, but Jon, 63, and wife of 35-years Dorothea, 62, love the fact the young actress is as grounded as she is. 'He and Dorothea are all about helping and giving back to the community so the fact that Millie has started her own animal rescue that she's totally devoted to has scored huge points with them,' the source continues. 'They're not the type to put a whole lot of stock in the Hollywood thing but they also know how hard she works and how passionate she is about the projects she chooses, so they are definitely proud of her on that front, but more than anything they just love her for who she is.' 'Jon isn't the type to push his opinions on anyone but if Millie ever needs advice, he's always there for her to offer guidance and support. They have a very sweet relationship that's about as good as it gets for in-laws.'

Netflix is saving Hollywood, says CEO Ted Sarandos
Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos claims streaming is revitalizing Hollywood, not harming it, despite ongoing debate within the film industry. Speaking at the TIME100 Summit, according to Deadline, Sarandos rejected the notion that platforms like Netflix are to blame for the decline of traditional cinema. 'No, we're saving Hollywood,' he said, emphasizing that streaming meets modern consumer expectations. Sarandos argued that streaming success lies in its adaptability. 'We're a very consumer-focused company. We deliver the program to you in a way you want to watch it,' he explained. While acknowledging that some viewers still enjoy theaters, he described cinemas as 'an outmoded idea—for most people, not for everybody.' He pointed to steadily declining box office revenues as evidence that audiences increasingly prefer home viewing. 'What is the consumer trying to tell us? That they'd like to watch movies at home,' he said. Streaming platforms have reshaped the entertainment industry, offering new models for content creation and distribution. As noted by MovieWeb, Netflix and similar services have sparked a revival in serialized television and provided opportunities for lesser-known filmmakers. Streaming has also become a home for director-led passion projects that might struggle in traditional box office environments. However, the model has not been without criticism. Netflix, in particular, has faced scrutiny over the inconsistent quality of its content. While titles like Adolescence have been well received, others—such as The Electric State, Damsel, and The Witcher—have disappointed some audiences, despite large budgets and high expectations. As debate continues over the future of Hollywood, Sarandos stands by his view that streaming is the industry's evolution—reflecting a shift toward accessibility, diverse storytelling, and audience-driven viewing habits.

All About Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's Relationship (Including Why He Proposed to Her with a Fake Ring!)
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi love married life. The Stranger Things actress and the son of music icon Jon Bon Jovi first sparked romance rumors in June 2021, when Bongiovi — also an actor — posted a photo of the two on Instagram, writing, "bff <3." They wouldn't stay in the friend zone for long, though, as Brown and Bongiovi went Instagram official that November. The pair quietly got married in May 2024, before exchanging vows again that October. During a February 2025 conversation with Vanity Fair, Brown opened up about feeling confident going into her marriage with Bongiovi, describing them as "pretty united." Related: Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's Relationship Timeline "We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we're looking for, the kind of careers we want," she said. "It's such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one." "I knew I was. It always felt right with him," Brown continued, later adding that "he is the first man [she has] ever loved and been in love with." From their unique engagement to the details of their wedding days, here's everything to know about Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi's relationship. The actors first sparked romance rumors in June 2021 when Bongiovi posted a friendly photo of the pair on Instagram. That same month, Brown and Bongiovi were spotted walking hand-in-hand around New York City together. The two kept their romance quiet for months until they hard-launched their relationship on Instagram in November 2021, when the Damsel star shared a photo of her beau kissing her on the cheek in London. In March 2022, Brown and Bongiovi made their red carpet debut at the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards in London, and have attended many events together since, including the premieres of Stranger Things season 4, Enola Holmes 2 and most recently, The Electric State. During a November 2022 interview with WIRED, the actress opened up about the early days of her relationship with Bongiovi. "We met on Instagram," she said. "And we were friends for a bit, and then, what can I say?" Now, the pair frequently express their love for each another on the social media platform. After New Year's Day in 2023, Brown shared a carousel of photos on Instagram reflecting back on 2022, writing that she was "endlessly in love" with the year she had and shouting out her partner for his part in it. "Grateful for my friends, family, donkey (bernard), my doggies, my puppies teeth, and my partner for life," she captioned the post. "Here's to another year with you and the wonderful people and animals around us 🤍 let's do it again but better!" Bongiovi replied in the comments, "Your year babe love you so much ❤️." That November, Bongiovi shared a sweet Instagram message of his own to congratulate his then-fiancée on being named one of Glamour's Global Woman of the Year. "There was not a dry eye in the house mine definitely weren't," he wrote. "Congratulations sweetheart you deserve it ❤️." Brown and Bongiovi got engaged in April 2023. The actress announced the news by posting a photo on Instagram captioned with lyrics from Taylor Swift's "Lover," writing, "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all 🤍." In August 2023, Brown shared with The Sunday Times that Bongiovi proposed with one of her mother's own rings. 'I've always loved that ring, it's always stuck out to me, so she gave it to Jake. They were in cahoots about the whole proposal," she said. "I love that I can always keep a piece of my mum with me.' So, where did he pop the big question? Under water. During a February 2024 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brown revealed that Bongiovi proposed while the two were scuba diving on vacation. "We go under, and we're many meters down. He gives me a shell and I turn it over and it's a ring," she said, describing her response as an "okay" hand symbol before they "freaked out." "Anyways, he puts the ring on my hand, and as I go to show him, the ring falls off my finger, plummets like, so fast, it was like a cinematic movie,' she continued. 'Jake threw himself, like so deep ... he does a cinematic grab, opens and he saved the ring." As it turns out, though, Brown's mother wouldn't let Bongiovi take her ring underwater because she knew he would "drop it." So, he used a different ring during the proposal and then presented the real thing when they returned to shore. "It was very magical," Brown said. After a few years of dating, Brown and Bongiovi secretly tied the knot in May 2024. According to The Sun, Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea, along with Brown's parents were in attendance, but it was a "very low-key, romantic affair." Related: All About Millie Bobby Brown's Parents, Robert and Kelly Brown That October, the pair hosted a dreamy Italian wedding at Villa Cetinale, where they exchanged vows for a second time surrounded by friends and family — including her fictional on-screen one! Matthew Modine, who played Brown's father, a.k.a. "Papa," in Stranger Things, officiated the special day. The actor told Vanity Fair that he was "surprised" at how emotional he became during the vows. 'I'd been witness to so much of Millie's private life and her professional career — and I'd seen her grow from that adorable child into a beautiful and thoughtful adult," he said. "I was with her when she first met young Jake. And now she's beginning a whole new life with such a kind man." During her conversation with The Sunday Times, Brown admitted that she knew Bongiovi was "the one" early on. "I ran to my mum and said, 'I really, really like him!' After we met we knew we never wanted to leave each other's side," she said. "You can't pinpoint why, it's just the feeling of knowing that that's the person you want to spend the rest of your time with." With her wedding year behind her, Brown is already looking forward to the future — including starting a family. During a March 2025 appearance on the Smartless podcast, Brown shared that although she is "really young," starting a family is "definitely in [her] future." "My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19. And you know, it's been my thing since before I met Jake," Brown said. "Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me." She added, "Jake knows how important it is to me and, of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it's so important to start a family for me personally." The actress also expressed that she wants a "big family," and that they are both open to the idea of adopting. Read the original article on People

‘The Electric State' Already Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Movie
The Electric State When you invest $320 million into a movie, you would like it to be good, and you would like a lot of people to watch it. On both fronts, Netflix's The Electric State appears to be failing. The Electric State has already dropped to #3 on Netflix's top 10 list, behind new entry Twister: Caught in the Storm, a tornado documentary, and even Kraven the Hunter, one of the biggest superhero box office disasters of all time. And this isn't even a full week after release. The Electric State has an utterly dismal 15% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, but even with a better 73% audience score, that is not translating into great viewership so far, and the film has debuted behind a bunch of other, and cheaper, Netflix original films. Top 10 As of now, that list includes Red Notice, Extraction 2, The Gray Man, Damsel, Carry-On and Rebel Ridge in terms of its 25.2 million views over the weekend falling short of those other films. It's not on the all-time list, which of course it's too early for that, but to make it there, it will have to make it past most of those other films, but also others like Don't Look Up, The Adam Project, Bird Box and Leave the World Behind. Separately, directors the Russo Brothers do have one other movie on this list, The Gray Man, and star Millie Bobby Brown has one too with Damsel. But put them together and The Electric State is a worse feature than either. Still, it's hard to gauge what exactly Netflix considers a failure. If this ends up landing at what, #4, #7, #10 eventually, is that a win for that price? If it doesn't make the list at all, is it a disaster? We can't really get into their thought process, but you might understand how at least algorithmically, they wanted to pair this IP with these directors and those stars. But you can throw a peanut butter sandwich into a bowl of chicken noodle soup and that creates a soggy mess, even if individually, those dishes work. The Russos have said that right now, there are no conversations about The Electric State 2, though there may be an idea for a spin-off series based in the Electric State 'universe.' They also reiterated their commitment to star Millie Bobby Brown as someone they love, when asked about a potential MCU role for her, saying she's always on their lists. It is hard to wrap my brain around the idea that a movie could cost this much and be this bad and still somehow be considered a win for Netflix, but it's impossible to know what they think really, as this is not a show that they'll cancel, nor, apparently, a sequel they'll axe. More or less if they're proud of it, they'll brag about the numbers, if not, we'll probably hear very little. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.
