The titular detective of Young Sherlock seems to be in a legal bind in ScreenRant’s exclusive first look images from the upcoming Prime Video series.
One of the photos from our Spring TV Preview shows Sherlock Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) and James Moriarty (Dónal Finn) standing in front of a wanted poster for the former. The sign alleges that the young detective is a fugitive who needs to be turned in for murder and larceny. While Moriarty is one of Holmes’ adversaries in most literary adaptations, the previews suggest that the iconic sleuth was friends with the crime lord at one point in their lives.
The second image reveals Sherlock holding a large clock in a library. In the photo, he is seen standing between Moriarty and Max Irons’ character, Mycroft Holmes, the older brother of the famous detective. He is also a government official and one of the founders of the fictional London gentleman’s club, The Diogenes Club.
Young Sherlock is an upcoming Prime Video series that follows Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective’s early years.In the new adaptation, Sherlock is 19 years old and a student at Oxford. The show will see him solve his very first murder case to clear his name, as someone seemingly framed him for the death. And, as his investigation unfolds, he will discover a major global conspiracy that he is nowhere near ready for.
The new mystery thriller was adapted for television by Matthew Parkhill. Guy Ritchie acts as the director and executive producer. The series also stars Zine Tseng (Princess Gulun Shou’an), Joseph Fiennes (Silas Holmes), Natascha McElhone (Cordelia Holmes), and Colin Firth (Sir Bucephalus Hodge), alongside Tiffin, Finn, and Irons.
The show is based on a popular book series titled Young Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Lane. The collection includes 8 novels: Death Cloud, Rebel Fire, Black Ice, Fire Storm, Snake Bite, Knife Edge, Stone Cold, and Night Break.
Young Sherlock will release on Prime Video on March 4, 2026.
