Even though there's no word on the long-in-development Sherlock Holmes 3, director Guy Ritchie made the best use of his clout as a television hit-maker by giving fans the next best thing. Ritchie's Young Sherlock series, which debuted on Prime Video earlier this year, has served as a reminder of how popular the iconic British detective remains. Who knows?
It might even convince the powers that be to stop dilly-dallying on the third installment of the big-screen franchise. The movie has been stuck in development hell for over a decade, during which star Robert Downey Jr. has gone on to become one of the highest-paid actors in the world and an Oscar winner. Young Sherlock, on the other hand, follows the titular character as a university student and has more in common with Netflix's Enola Holmes film series than with the Downey movies.
