Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge on Enola Holmes 3

other · 2026-06-28

In "Enola Holmes 3," Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge reprise their roles as Enola and Tewkesbury, this time taking the teenage detective to Malta. The film adopts a darker tone under the direction of Philip Barantini (Adolescence, Boiling Point), who was inspired to join the project partly due to his nine-year-old daughter's admiration for the series. Brown, who has been a producer since the beginning, resonated with Barantini's vision. Himesh Patel appears as Dr. Watson, having made a brief appearance in the previous film, and received support from former Watson actor Martin Freeman. Brown, deeply connected to Enola, has read the books, pitched the concept, and contributed to its Netflix adaptation. She once paused filming for three hours over a flag detail, as noted by Partridge. The film also includes Brown's husband, Jake Bongiovi. A minor debate arose regarding Enola's modern manicure, which Brown dismissed as "bleak and boring." The release is scheduled for Netflix.
