Henry Cavill's 3-Part Mystery Series Gets Stunning First Look

There was never much doubt that Enola Holmes would be back. The Netflix mystery franchise has been one of the streamer’s more reliable crowd-pleasers, mixing YA adventure, period drama, and just enough family chaos to keep everything moving. But now the third movie is finally stepping into view, and it sounds like Enola’s next case is going to take her a lot farther from home than before. After teasing the next chapter for a while, Netflix has now officially unveiled first-look images from Enola Holmes 3 and confirmed when fans can expect the movie to arrive.

Enola Holmes 3 will debut globally on Netflix on July 1, 2026. This time around, adventure takes Enola to Malta, where her personal and professional ambitions collide in what’s being described as her most tangled and treacherous case yet. That alone gives the third film a slightly bigger feel, but it also sounds like the movie will continue pushing Enola forward as both a detective and a young woman trying to figure out what comes next. As she juggles a brand-new mystery and the next stage of her relationship with Tewkesbury, the story looks set to build on the emotional momentum of the last two movies while still giving audiences the same fast-moving mystery energy the series is known for.

Millie Bobby Brown returns as Enola Holmes, alongside Louis Partridge as Tewkesbury, Himesh Patel as Dr. John Watson, Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Moriarty, Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, and Helena Bonham Carter as Eudoria Holmes. That’s a great cast to have come back, and it should give the third film a nice mix of continuity and fresh tension as Enola’s world keeps expanding.

Your Hero Has Been Identified
Your Sci-Fi Hero Is…

Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.


Arrakis · Dune

Paul Atreides

You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.

  • You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
  • You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
  • Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
  • That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.


USS Enterprise · Star Trek

Captain Kirk

You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.

  • You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
  • Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
  • Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
  • That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.


The Rebellion · Star Wars

Princess Leia

You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.

  • You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
  • You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
  • Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
  • That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.


The Nostromo · Alien

Ellen Ripley

You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.

  • You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
  • Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
  • You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
  • When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.


The Wasteland · Mad Max

Max Rockatansky

You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.

  • You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
  • Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
  • Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
  • That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.

Is ‘Enola Holmes’ Any Good?

Collider’s review stated that Enola Holmes 2 avoids the usual sequel trap by building on what worked in the first movie instead of just repeating it. This time, Enola opens her own detective agency, only to get pulled into a much larger and more layered case involving a missing girl, a wider conspiracy, and help from both Tewksbury and Sherlock. The result is a sequel that feels bigger, sharper, and more confident without losing the charm that made the first one work.

At just over two hours long, Enola Holmes 2 is tightly paced, leaving just enough breathing room for the characters to thrive and do what they do best. It is a film with a lot of moving parts, but not so many that the audience will lose track, and in that way, is a film deserving of a rewatch — or several.

Enola Holmes 3 will debut globally on Netflix on July 1, 2026.
