Henry Cavill is back as Sherlock in Enola Holmes 3! Get the scoop on the sun-soaked mystery, returning cast, and why Cavill’s era is far from over.

Over? Henry Cavill is just getting started. And this time, he’s not lurking in the shadows—Sherlock Holmes is ready to steal the scene in Enola Holmes 3. That’s right, the Holmes siblings are reuniting, and this time the game is afoot at a sunny, suspicious island.

Millie Bobby Brown returns as the clever, chaos-stirring Enola, still several steps ahead of her time and possibly her brother (Henry Cavill). After cracking cases across foggy Victorian England, she’s heading into new territory—think sun-drenched secrets, island intrigue, and maybe a dash of scandalous romance.

Behind the camera, we’ve got Philip Barantini (yes, that Barantini) taking the director’s chair, as confirmed by Deadline back in November 2024. And guess who’s penning the script? Jack Thorne, the brilliant mind behind the first two films, returns to adapt another tale from Nancy Springer’s sharp and sassy Enola Holmes Mysteries.

If you’re sensing mischief, mayhem, and mystery wrapped in cravats and clever quips, you’re absolutely right.

Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown have reunited for Enola Holmes 3, which has officially kicked off production in the UK, as reported by Variety. And this time? Things are getting delightfully complicated.

Netflix’s next mystery-packed adventure whisks Enola off to the sun-soaked and secret-laden shores of Malta, where her sharp mind and rebellious spirit will be tested like never before. But she’s not going it alone—big brother Sherlock, portrayed once again by the ever-dashing Henry Cavill, is back in the game, perhaps more involved than ever.

While Enola is no stranger to cracked codes and cornered criminals, this case promises to be her most tangled yet. Add to that a budding romance with the earnest Lord Tewkesbury, and our favorite young sleuth might finally be learning that heartstrings can be just as complex as clue trails.

And let’s not forget—Enola Holmes 2 left us with a teasing taste of Conan Doyle’s classics: Dr. Watson and the ever-enigmatic Moriarty. Will they step out of the shadows this time around to meet their old friend Sherlock once more? Will we see Henry Cavill in a bigger role this time? Only time—and Enola’s sleuthing—will tell.

Henry Cavill’s calendar: full of fantasy and franchises

The Holmes family reunion just got a lot more interesting. Enola Holmes 3 brings back our favorite firecracker, Millie Bobby Brown, along with the ever-dreamy Louis Partridge as Lord Tewkesbury, Himesh Patel stepping in as the sharp Dr. John Watson, Helena Bonham Carter returning as the ever-radical Eudoria Holmes, and Sharon Duncan-Brewster reprising her role as the mysterious Moriarty.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Holmesian affair without Henry Cavill as the enigmatic, brooding, and secretly big-hearted Sherlock Holmes. The first two films had Enola dodging danger and decoding riddles across London, all while managing to outwit her brilliant older brother more than once—no easy feat, mind you.

Based on Nancy Springer’s beloved book series, Enola Holmes first debuted on Netflix in 2020 and quickly built a loyal following, becoming the cozy, clever mystery binge we didn’t know we needed. The sequel smashed expectations too—Enola Holmes 2 debuted at number one on Netflix’s global charts in late 2022, racking up over 68 million hours streamed across 93 countries. Talk about sleuthing success. However, there is no official release date for Enola Holmes 3.

Meanwhile, Henry Cavill hasn’t exactly been twiddling his thumbs—he’s been busy filming Amazon’s live-action Voltron, prepping for a Highlander reboot, and working on his Warhammer dream project. But for Enola Holmes 3?

Let’s just say: the world’s greatest detective might finally be ready to step out of his sister’s shadow. And honestly, wouldn’t we all love to see Sherlock take center stage—with Henry Cavill’s jawline leading the charge?
