Enola Holmes 3 is a 2026 mystery adventure film directed by Philip Barantini from a screenplay by Jack Thorne, based on Nancy Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries novels. The film is the third installment in Netflix’s Enola Holmes series and sees Millie Bobby Brown return as the young detective alongside Henry Cavill, Louis Partridge, Helena Bonham Carter, Himesh Patel, and Sharon Duncan-Brewster. This marks the first film in the franchise directed by Barantini, taking the series in a slightly darker and more mature direction while retaining its adventurous spirit.
As Enola Holmes prepares to begin a new chapter in her personal life, her plans are suddenly interrupted when her brother, Sherlock Holmes, disappears under mysterious circumstances. Determined to uncover the truth, Enola follows a trail of clues that leads her far from London to the Mediterranean island of Malta.
The investigation soon draws her into an international conspiracy involving dangerous enemies, hidden identities, and long-buried secrets. With the stakes higher than ever, Enola must rely on her intelligence, courage, and detective skills to solve her most challenging case while protecting the people closest to her.
Enola Holmes 3 is produced by Legendary Pictures and PCMA Productions, with Millie Bobby Brown also serving as a producer. Principal photography took place in England and Malta, giving the third film a fresh international setting while expanding the world established in the previous movies. Aaron May and David Ridley composed the score, replacing Daniel Pemberton, who worked on the first two films.
Director Philip Barantini and writer Jack Thorne aimed to deliver a more emotionally driven mystery, balancing the franchise’s signature humor with higher stakes and a more complex investigation. The Malta setting introduces new characters, larger action sequences, and a mystery that directly impacts the Holmes family.
Enola Holmes 3 premiered exclusively on Netflix on July 1, 2026. The film is available to stream worldwide for Netflix subscribers.
