Netflix has released the trailer for Enola Holmes 3, giving fans a new look at Millie Bobby Brown’s return as the brilliant young detective ahead of the film’s arrival on 1 July.
The third instalment follows Enola to Malta, where adventure once again finds her in spectacular fashion. According to the official logline, “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.”
The trailer opens with Enola and Tewkesbury looking very much in love, dancing, laughing and enjoying what appears to be a rare stretch of happiness. “Life was everything I wanted it to be,” Enola says. “When it was just the two of us, those were the best times of all.” Of course, peace does not last long.
“Life was everything I wanted it to be. When it was just the two of us, those were the best times of all.”
Things take a dramatic turn when Tewkesbury proposes, leaving Enola visibly stunned as her personal life suddenly becomes much more complicated. Then comes the real twist: Sherlock has been kidnapped. Cue action, fire, fights, danger, Enola in a wedding dress with a shotgun, and Tewkesbury waiting at the altar while his bride-to-be is pulled into another case. The big question now: will she make it down the aisle?
Brown returns as Enola Holmes alongside Louis Partridge as Tewkesbury, Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, Helena Bonham Carter as Eudoria Holmes, Himesh Patel as Dr John Watson and Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Moriarty. The trailer also confirms an appearance from Jason Watkins, though details about his character are still being kept under wraps.
Watch the official teaser trailer below.
The new film is based on Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes book series, with Jack Thorne returning as writer after penning the first two films. Philip Barantini directs the third instalment, following acclaimed recent work on Boiling Point and Netflix’s Adolescence.
For CultureCues, this trailer looks like exactly the kind of return Enola fans have been waiting for. The romance with Tewkesbury is clearly front and centre, but the Sherlock twist gives the film a bigger, more urgent mystery to solve. Plus, Enola wielding a shotgun in a wedding dress? We are absolutely seated.
Enola Holmes 3 arrives on Netflix on 1 July. The first two films are available to stream now on Netflix.
