Young Sherlock | Guy Ritchie (Prime Video)

[BluBonnet]

New series has wrapped, according to Deadline:

Guy Ritchie & Young Sherlock

One IP-based project, however, is Prime Video’s Young Sherlock. The adaptation of Andy Lane’s book series was produced out of Cardiff, Wales, with shoots in Oxfordshire, England, and Andalusia, Spain. The show follows the world-famous sleuth in his formative years.

“You always have to find the balance, to walk the line between giving audiences and fans of Sherlockian law what they want, but with a healthy amount of exciting reinvention,” says Maxwell. “We’ve certainly got that in abundance.”

The young Holmes is played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin and other cast includes Dónal Finn as Moriarty. “It’s a deeply personal story for Sherlock. The ‘Young’ of the title really allows us to explore him in a completely different way, as he’s becoming a man and starting to form the deductive powers that will make him such an icon.”

Guy Ritchie directs and executive produces. Matthew Parkhill is writer and showrunner, with Motive producing alongside Inspirational Entertainment. Maxwell credits Ritchie as “one of the most dynamic and inventive filmmakers in the world.” He promises Young Sherlock “is absolutely vintage Guy Ritchie.”

Is it a franchise in the making? “There’s a huge amount of promise and I would say we’re all hoping that this will be the start of a long and very rewarding journey.”
