"Young Sherlock" is a British mystery/action series created by Matthew Parkhill for Prime Video, set to premiere on March 4, 2026. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the series is based on Andrew Lane's "Young Sherlock Holmes" book series, which reimagines Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective in his youth. The show portrays a 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes at Oxford University, not yet the master detective he is destined to become. He is described as raw, unfiltered, and lacking discipline. When a murder occurs at Oxford, Sherlock becomes embroiled in a case that threatens his freedom and leads him to uncover a global conspiracy. The series aims for an irreverent, action-packed tone, unfolding in a vibrant Victorian England and adventuring abroad.
