English actress Helena Bonham Carter will rejoin Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill in the sequel of “Enola Holmes“, the female-centric Sherlock Holmes hit from Legendary Entertainment and Netflix.
Bonham Carter will reprise her role as Eudoria Holmes, the matriarch of the famous sleuthing family.
In May, Netflix confirmed that the sequel to the 2020 mystery movie has begun development on the next installment with Bobby Brown and Cavill set to reprise their roles as Enola and Sherlock Holmes.
Actor Louis Partridge is also set to reprise his role as Viscount Tewkesbury.
The movie will also star David Thewlis, Susan Wokoma, Adeel Akhtar, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Hannah Dodd, Abbie Hern, Gabriel Tierney, and Serrana Su-Ling Bliss.
Harry Bradbeer is also set to return to direct and Jack Thorne, who penned the first, will write the script for the sequel.
Brown and Paige Brown will produce through their PCMA Productions shingle along with Legendary’s Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, and Ali Mendes, as well as with Legendary’s Joshua Grode, Michael Dreyer, Bradbeer, and Thorne will exec produce.
The movies are based on Nancy Springer’s Edgar Award-nominated book series, “The Enola Holmes Mysteries“, which consists of six books.
The first movie told the tale of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes’ rebellious teen sister Enola (Brown), a gifted super-sleuth in her own right who often outsmarts her famous siblings as she runs about early 20th century London.
