A well-liked Netflix movie spin-off is in disarray after the actors and crew become unwell while filming abroad.
‘It ended up being a bout of food poisoning, which is just really unfortunate.
Luckily, it wasn’t anything too serious and everyone recovered, but it put pressure on them in terms of hitting deadlines.’
Earlier this year, Millie Bobby Brown confirmed she would be returning as Enola Holmes, the younger sister of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective Sherlock Holmes.
Henry Cavill is back as Sherlock, with Himesh Patel returning as Dr. Watson and Louis Partridge reprising his role as Enola’s love interest, Viscount Tewkesbury.
Helena Bonham Carter returns as Eudoria Holmes, while Sharon Duncan-Brewster continues to portray the villainous Moriarty.
Production kicked off earlier this year for the third season, with Netflix targeting a late 2025 release.
Plot details are under wraps, but it will reportedly be a darker iteration than the previous two installments.
In the movie, the youngest member of the Holmes family goes off in search of her missing mother, even as her more famous brothers try to thwart her investigation.
The film was originally planned for a theatrical release by Warner Bros., but it was picked up by Netflix in April amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking about the second sequel in a statement for Deadline, leading lady Millie said, ‘I can’t wait to collaborate again with my Enola Holmes family!
‘Enola holds a special place in my heart—she’s strong, fearless, intelligent, and brave. I look forward to fans seeing how her journey continues!’
Millie previously revealed that she ‘found it challenging being British’ in the role after five years in the American Netflix series Stranger Things.
The actress, who grew up in Dorset, England, and settled in Florida with her family to pursue her acting career at age eight, said she ‘had to learn how to speak again.’
Speaking to Radio Times, she said, ‘For the last five years I’ve been playing an American character in Stranger Things and I found it challenging being British in this, even though I am a Brit.
