It shouldn’t have been much of a surprise that Netflix’s “Enola Holmes” was a success when it was released in 2020. Not only is the film set in the world of Sherlock Holmes, which is an IP that people still love, but it stars Millie Bobby Brown, who is something of Netflix royalty thanks to her role in “Stranger Things.” Alas, the film was not only a major hit, but it struck a chord with critics, as well. As you might imagine, it wasn’t long before Netflix began work on the sequel, which is finally on its way to the streamer in a few weeks.
As seen in the new trailer for “Enola Holmes 2,” the film follows the title character (played by Brown) as she finds herself investigating yet another mystery. This time, she’s looking for a missing girl who works at a match factory. The mystery not only sends Enola on an adventure where she has to, once again, prove her worth as a detective, but she also gets to team up with her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill).
Joining Brown and Cavill in the cast are David Thewlis, Louis Partridge, Susan Wokoma, Adeel Akhtar, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and Helena Bonham Carter. The film is once again directed by Harry Bradbeer (“Fleabag”) and written by Jack Thorne (“His Dark Materials”).

“Enola Holmes 2” arrives on Netflix on November 4. You can watch the new trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Fresh off the triumph of solving her first case, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) follows in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill), and opens her own agency – only to find that life as a female detective-for-hire isn’t as easy as it seems. Resigned to accepting the cold realities of adulthood, she is about to close shop when a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister. But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world – from London’s sinister factories and colorful music halls, to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself. As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends – and Sherlock himself – to unravel her mystery. The game, it seems, has found its feet again!
