The Sherlock Holmes universe is about to get a little bigger. Last year, Prime Video announced its plans to adapt Young Sherlock, based on the best-selling book series by Andy Lane. The titular character will be played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, who is best known for his performance as Hardin Scott in the After trilogy and for his appearance as Young Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood PrinceThe series comes from Guy Ritchie, who directed the Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law-led Sherlock Holmes films, and also stars Colin Firth.

The beloved detective has been reimagined across films and television, from Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock TV series to Ritchie’s films. But this new adaptation will explore Holmes’ formative years and what pushed him to dedicate his life to solving mysteries, delving into more details than the 1985 adaptation of Young Sherlock Holmes.
