Prime Video has dropped the first teaser trailer and tease art for ‘Young Sherlock‘, giving us an early look at Guy Ritchie’s reimagining of the world’s most famous detective. The eight-part series is set to arrive in March, and yes, it very much looks like Sherlock Holmes discovered chaos before he discovered a deerstalker.
The series stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After) as a younger, rougher, and very much unfinished version of Sherlock Holmes. Directed and executive produced by Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes, The Gentlemen), the show digs into the detective’s origin story with the same swagger, speed, and irreverence seen in Ritchie’s big-screen takes on the character.
Set in 1870s Oxford before spiralling out into globe-trotting territory, ‘Young Sherlock’ finds Holmes disgraced, impulsive, and caught up in a murder case that threatens his freedom. What begins as his first ever investigation quickly unravels into a far-reaching conspiracy that will shape the man he is destined to become. This is Sherlock before Baker Street, before Watson, and before the polished brilliance, all raw instincts and anarchic energy.
Alongside Fiennes Tiffin, the cast includes Dónal Finn (The Wheel of Time), Zine Tseng (3 Body Problem), Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale), Natascha McElhone (Halo), Max Irons (Condor), and Colin Firth (The King’s Speech). Guy Ritchie directs the first two episodes, with the series created by showrunner Matthew Parkhill and produced by Motive Pictures.
With Ritchie back in Sherlock territory and a younger, more volatile version of the detective at its centre, ‘Young Sherlock’ looks set to bring a fresh spin to a character who has been reinvented more times than almost anyone in fiction.
‘Young Sherlock’ premieres Tuesday, 4th March 2026, on Prime Video.
