You’ve seen Sherlock Holmes in his classic 1880s England setting, you’ve seen him in modern day, and you’ve even seen him in the22nd century, but rarely do you see him in the background of another character’s story. And it’s kind of refreshing.Enola Holmestakes the spotlight away from the most famous literary detective and gives it to his little sister, a spunky teen detective played in the upcoming Netflix film byStranger Thingsbreakout Millie Bobby Brown. Netflix debuted three new images for the film, whileTotal Film Magazineshared another one with Enola alongside her brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes.

Seeing Brown don a Victorian-era dress and use her natural British accent will be exciting enough, but watching her verbally spar with Cavill as Sherlock and a mustachio’d Sam Claflin as her other brother Mycroft Holmes looks like it will be a delight. The star-studded film directed by Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) in his feature directorial debut will also star a plethora of British heavyweights likeHelena Bonham Carter, Fiona Shaw, Frances de la Tour, Louis Partridge, Burn Gorman, Susan Wokoma,andAdeel Akhtar.

Here is the synopsis forEnola Holmes, which Netflixacquired earlier this springand will debut on its service inSeptember 2020:

Based on the beloved Edgar-nominated book series, ENOLA HOLMES tells the story of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes' rebellious teen sister Enola, a gifted super-sleuth in her own right who often outsmarts her brilliant siblings. When her mother mysteriously disappears on her 16th birthday, Enola seeks help from her older brothers. But soon realizing they’re less interested in solving the case than in packing her off to finishing school, Enola does the only thing a smart, resourceful and fearless young 1880s woman can do… she runs away to London to find her. Meeting a cast of memorable characters along the way, Enola’s caught in the middle of a conspiracy that could alter the course of political history. ENOLA HOLMES puts a dynamic new female twist on the world’s greatest detective and his brilliant family.
