The latest film from Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown will be heading to Netflix soon. The streaming service acquired global rights (excluding China) to Legendary Entertainment's Enola Holmes. Brown stars as the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes, who is played by Henry Cavill, another actor with a hit Netflix show (The Witcher). Netflix hasn't revealed when the movie will premiere, but we're hoping to see it soon.

The film follows around the younger Holmes, who is also a gifted super-sleuth like her brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft (played by Sam Claflin). Their mother, played by Helena Bonham Carter, goes missing on Enola's birthday, and she tries to find out the truth about her disappearance. 

Enola Holmes is based on the Nancy Springer book series entitled The Enola Holmes Mysteries. The film is directed by Harry Bradbeer, who is the Emmy-winning director of Fleabag season 2. Jack Thorne wrote the script for the film.
