Netflix has unveiled a new teaser trailer for Enola Holmes 3, ahead of its debut on the streaming platform in July. The series follows Enola, the younger sister of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, as she embarks on adventures in Victorian-era London.
Millie Bobby Brown Returns
Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, 22, reprises her leading role as Enola once again. The teaser opens with the young woman becoming engaged to her love interest, Tewkesbury, played by Louis Partridge. However, things quickly take a dramatic turn as viewers see hints of a carriage chase and Sherlock, portrayed by Henry Cavill, seemingly being attacked.
Dr. John Watson, played by Himesh Patel, informs Enola: "It's your brother. Sherlock has been kidnapped." As Tewkesbury waits at the altar, the question remains: will Enola make it in time to tie the knot with him?
Supporting Cast and Plot Details
Helena Bonham Carter returns as Eudoria Holmes, Enola and Sherlock's mother, while Sharon Duncan-Brewster portrays the criminal Moriarty. The trailer also features a cameo from Jason Watkins. The film is scheduled for release on Netflix on July 1.
The synopsis reads: "Adventure chases detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where personal and professional dreams collide on a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before."
Fan Reaction to Historical Inaccuracy
Previously, fans mocked an earlier trailer for an apparent historical mistake. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted an anachronism in the form of Millie Bobby Brown's polished nails, which appeared to be acrylic extensions. Despite being painted a subtle light nude colour, fans noted their length, shape, and sheen, deeming them historically inaccurate for the 1885 setting.
Social media was flooded with comments, including: "1885, but make it fashion," "Movies not caring about little details like this is just cheap," and "Those nails screaming 2026, not 1885! Hollywood time-travel strikes again." Others added: "Small inconsistencies like this can undermine an otherwise strong scene" and "God forbid a girl travel to the future to get her nails done."
Director and Star Insights
The film is directed by Philip Barantini and written by Jack Thorne. Speaking about the upcoming movie, Millie Bobby Brown told Netflix's Tudum: "What I love about this chapter is that Enola is stepping into a version of herself that feels much more defined but still evolving. She's built something for herself, which is amazing, but she's also questioning what she wants next, and I think that's something so many people can relate to."
She added: "Working with Louis Partridge has been such a huge part of what makes these films feel special. There's a comfort and an ease between us now that you can't really fake, and it just comes from years of working together and supporting each other. What's been really nice is getting to explore a more mature version of Enola and Tewkesbury's relationship. It's not just playful anymore; it has real weight to it. We trust each other a lot, which means we can take more risks and really lean into the emotional side of their story."
