What did Amazon MGM Studios boss say about Young Sherlock's
Prime Video renewal?
"Young Sherlock?has that rare magic - millions of fans around
the world aren't just watching a detective story, they're
falling in love with the origin of an icon," Amazon MGM Studios
executive Peter Friedlander said in a statement. "Guy Ritchie
and Matthew Parkhill have cracked the code on making Sherlock's
early years feel fresh, dangerous, and utterly addictive, and
have introduced a compelling take on James Moriarty that sets
the stage for what's to come. We can't wait to see where they
take him next in season two."
Young Sherlock Holmes is written and executive-produced by
showrunner Matthew Parkhill, with Ritchie serving as its
director. The ensemble cast also includes Donal Finn (The Wheel
of Time), Zine Tseng (3 Body Problem), Joseph Fiennes (The
Handmaid's Tale), Natascha McElhone (Halo), Max Irons (Condor),
and Colin Firth (The King's Speech). Executive producers are
Ritchie, Dhana Rivera Gilbert, Marc Resteghini, Simon Maxwell,
Ivan Atkinson, Simon Kelton, Colin Wilson, Harriet Creelman, and
Steve Thompson. It is a production by Motive Pictures.
"When a charismatic, youthfully defiant Sherlock Holmes meets
none other than James Moriarty, he finds himself dragged into a
murder investigation that threatens his liberty. Sherlock's
first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy, leading to
an explosive showdown that alters the course of his life
forever," reads the synopsis. "Unfolding in a vibrant Victorian
England and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early
antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker
Street's most renowned resident."
