Netflix loves Millie Bobby Brown and turned her into a star with “Stranger Things.” The 16-year-old star seems to love Netflix and has barely worked outside their organization since “Stranger Things” in 2016 save “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and it’s 2021-scheduled sequel. That trend remains the same with Brown’s upcoming starring role in “Enola Holmes,” an upcoming British mystery film based on the Young Adult book series of the same name by Nancy Springer, featuring the already-famous Sherlock Holmes’ teenage sister.

England, 1884 – a world on the brink of change. On the morning of her 16th birthday, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) wakes to find that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) has disappeared, leaving behind an odd assortment of gifts but no apparent clue as to where she’s gone or why. After a free-spirited childhood, Enola suddenly finds herself under the care of her brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin), both set on sending her away to a finishing school for “proper” young ladies. Refusing to follow their wishes, Enola escapes to search for her mother in London. But when her journey finds her entangled in a mystery surrounding a young runaway Lord (Louis Partridge), Enola becomes a super-sleuth in her own right, outwitting her famous brother as she unravels a conspiracy that threatens to set back the course of history. Based on the beloved book series by Nancy Springer, ENOLA HOLMES is a dynamic new mystery-adventure that introduces the world’s greatest detective to his fiercest competition yet: his teenage sister. The game is afoot.
“Enola Holmes” directed by Harry Bradbeer (“Fleabag,” “Killing Eve”) and written by Jack Thorne (“This Is England ’90,” “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” and a discarded version of “Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker” before J.J. Abrams came on). “Enola Holmes” hits Netflix on September 23. Watch the first trailer below.
