Prime Video has released the first trailer for its upcoming series Young Sherlock, offering a fresh take on the early years of the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes.
What's Happening
- Headlined by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, known for the After film series, the show reimagines Holmes as a rebellious teenager long before he becomes the famed resident of Baker Street.
- The trailer introduces a 19-year-old Sherlock studying at Oxford in the 1870s.
- Far removed from the composed, calculating detective audiences are familiar with, this version is portrayed as impulsive, sharp-witted and often reckless.
- The preview suggests that his first major case begins when he encounters James Moriarty, setting up a rivalry that will shape his future.
- The official synopsis reads, "When a charismatic, youthfully defiant Sherlock Holmes meets none other than James Moriarty, he finds himself dragged into a murder investigation that threatens his liberty. Sherlock's first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy, leading to an explosive showdown that alters the course of his life forever. Unfolding in a vibrant Victorian England and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street's most renowned resident."
