Sherlock Holmes Just Made a Major Change to Its 139-Year-Old Formula

While detective shows aren’t exactly few and far between in streaming, every so often a show comes along that flips the genre on its head. That’s certainly the case for Prime Video’s Young Sherlock, which first premiered on March 4, 2026, and is already renewed for Season 2. The series, created and directed by Guy Ritchie, not only brings something new to the genre with a fast-paced, Victorian mystery, but puts its own spin on the iconic character Sherlock Holmes.
