\n\tThere have been countless books, movies and TV shows adapted from or inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s Sherlock Holmes stories. The newest one, however, manages to put novel twist on the great detective.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Roku Channel<\/a> has greenlit Scarlett Holmes, a limited series that will star Lucy Hale<\/a> (Pretty Little Liars, 2024\u2019s F*** Marry Kill) as a descendant of Sherlock Holmes who has inherited the family\u2019s observational powers. Rather than solve crimes, however, Scarlett and sidekick Jane Watson \u201ctake on mysteries of love, dating, and relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe show comes from Jaggi Entertainment and writers Paris Herbert-Taylor (On the Roam) and Katie Wilbert (A Vineyard Christmas). Hale and Jaggi Entertainment\u2019s Sophie Tilson and Steve Jaggi will executive produce; Morgan Pichinson and Sabrina Lyall oversee the series for Roku Channel.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI am a true diehard fan of romantic comedies, and Scarlett Holmes has that special something that made me fall in love with the genre in the first place,\u201d said Hale. \u201cI love that it brings mystery into the rom-com world in a way that feels really fresh and fun. It\u2019s charming, sexy, funny, and has a lot of heart. Scarlett is smart, curious, a little complicated, and like so many of us, looking for love. I feel completely thrilled to step into her shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe full description for Scarlett Holmes reads, \u201cScarlett and Jane help clients navigate mixed signals, secret crushes, romantic dilemmas, and everything in between. But while Scarlett may be an expert at solving everyone else\u2019s romantic problems, her own love life proves far more difficult to decipher. When she falls for Ollie Moriarty \u2014 a charming podcast producer secretly planning an expos\u00e9 on her methods \u2014 she\u2019s faced with the toughest case of all: her own. Each episode\u2019s storyline draws inspiration from a beloved romantic comedy.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe series is slated to premiere on the Roku Channel in 2027. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cLucy Hale has the wit, warmth and comedic instincts that make her the perfect creative partner to bring Scarlett Holmes to life,\u201d said Brian Tannenbaum, head of Roku Originals. \u201cThis smart, sophisticated series celebrates two genres our streamers love \u2014 romance and mystery \u2014 through a fresh, playful take on one of the most recognizable legacies in storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There have been countless books, movies and TV shows adapted from or inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s Sherlock…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":918404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,153965,421068,427],"class_list":["post-918403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-lucy-hale","tag-roku-channel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=918403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/918404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=918403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=918403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=918403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
