What is Enola Holmes 3 about?
This installment takes Enola out of England and onto the Mediterranean island of Malta. The setup: Enola is preparing to marry Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) when she learns that her brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) has been kidnapped. She’s immediately pulled off the wedding path and into her most dangerous case yet all while wrestling with what marriage means for her hard-won independence.
Netflix’s official logline describes an adventure that chases Enola to Malta, where her personal and professional dreams collide in a case more tangled than anything she’s faced before. Expect the franchise’s signature mix: mystery, romance, action, and Enola’s fourth-wall-breaking wit.
The full Enola Holmes 3 cast
The core ensemble returns, with a few notable additions:
- Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes, the youngest Holmes sibling running her own detective agency
- Louis Partridge as Lord Tewkesbury, Enola’s love interest and now fiancé
- Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, whose kidnapping drives the plot

- Hattie Morahan as Lady Tewkesbury and Jason Watkins as Brigadier Sampson
A new director takes over
One of the biggest behind-the-scenes changes: Enola Holmes 3 is the first film in the series not directed by Harry Bradbeer. The reins pass to Philip Barantini, best known for the acclaimed one-take crime drama Adolescence. Barantini has described his vision for this chapter as darker and more mature reportedly aiming to do for the franchise what Prisoner of Azkaban did for the Harry Potter films. Screenwriter Jack Thorne returns, once again adapting Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes Mysteries novels.
Much of the film was shot at Shepperton Studios in the UK before production moved to Malta, filming across landmarks including the capital Valletta and the walled city of Mdina locations that give this entry a fresh, sun-drenched look compared with its foggy-London predecessors.
Is Louis Partridge’s role bigger this time?
With Enola and Tewkesbury heading toward marriage, Louis Partridge’s role sits closer to the emotional center of the story than before. The wedding premise puts their relationship front and center even as the kidnapping plot repeatedly interrupts the couple’s plans. Partridge, who has built a growing profile since the first film, gets more to do here as the story leans into the romance alongside the mystery.
How does it compare to the first two films?
The franchise has been a consistent hit for Netflix. The 2020 original racked up huge viewership numbers, and the 2022 sequel spent weeks in the global top 10. With a new director bringing a moodier tone, a change of scenery, and higher personal stakes for Enola, the third film is positioned as the most ambitious entry yet. Early reviews from major outlets are out now if you’ve finished it and want to dig into how it lands, that’s the conversation happening across film press this week.
Enola Holmes 3 is streaming now on Netflix worldwide. Whether you’re here for the Enola-and-Tewkesbury romance, Henry Cavill’s Sherlock, or simply another twisty Victorian mystery, the youngest Holmes is back on the case this time with a wedding, a kidnapping, and a Mediterranean island in the mix.
