Hero Fiennes Tiffin set to play young Sherlock Holmes in upcoming Prime Video series Young Sherlock.
The series, directed by Guy Ritchie, will follow Sherlock at age 19, when he is just beginning his career as a detective.
Prime Video has released the first official images from the series, showing Tiffin in period costume as he investigates crimes and works on his first major murder case.
However, the series was set in the 1870s and spanned several international countries, giving viewers a new and adventurous look at the legendary detective before he became the famous detective known around the world.
The adaptation is based on the Young Sherlock books by Andy Lane and combines classic mystery elements with Guy Ritchie’s signature cinematic style.
The series also starred Joseph Fiennes, Max Irons, Colin Firth, Dónal Finn and Zine Tseng.
Guy Ritchie directed and produced alongside showrunner Matthew Parkhill, with a team of producers and Motive Pictures handling production.
Young Sherlock marked Ritchie’s return to the Sherlock Holmes universe after his successful films Sherlock Holmes in 2009 and A game of shadows in 2011, with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.
Fans have long speculated about a third film, but this series offers the first real chance in a decade to see Ritchie’s take on the detective.
The new images and first details have already sparked excitement, showing a young, daring and intelligent Sherlock in exciting first adventures.
The series promised mystery, action, and clever detective work, giving audiences a new reason to tune in when it premiered in 2026.
