What would Victorian London be like if Sherlock Holmes wasn’t around to solve crimes and keep the peace? Well, apparently a portal between worlds would open up and supernatural monsters would come through and threaten the world. At least, that’s what happens in the upcoming Netflix series, “The Irregulars.”
As seen in the trailer for “The Irregulars,” the series takes place in Victorian London and finds Doctor John Watson (Sherlock Holmes’ right-hand man) recruiting a bunch of young street kids to fill in for the detective to figure out what’s happening with a “rip” in reality that is leading to creatures and bad people coming into our world and causing all sorts of issues. Without Holmes around to save the day, the world is going to rely on the street kids to fix the problem before the world is taken over.
The ensemble cast for the Holmes-ian series includes Thaddea Graham (“Letter For The King,” “Us”) as Bea, Darci Shaw (“Judy,” “The Bay”) as Jessie, Jojo Macari (“Sex Education,” “Hard Sun”) as Billy, Mckell David (“Snatch,” “Damilola Our Loved Boy”) as Spike, Harrison Osterfield (“Catch 22”) as Leopold, Henry Lloyd-Hughes (“Killing Eve,” “The Inbetweeners,” “Indian Summers”) as Sherlock Holmes, Royce Pierreson (“Judy,” “The Witcher,” “Line of Duty”) as John Watson, and Clarke Peters (“His Dark Materials,” “The Wire,” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) as The Linen Man.
“The Irregulars” debuts on Netflix on March 26. You can watch the full trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Set in Victorian London, The Irregulars follows a gang of troubled street teens who are manipulated into solving crimes for the sinister Doctor Watson and his mysterious business partner, the elusive Sherlock Holmes. As the crimes take on a horrifying supernatural edge and a dark power emerges, it’ll be up to the Irregulars to come together to save not only London but the entire world.
