In 2020, Millie Bobby Brown proved she was more than just Eleven from ‘Stranger Things’ for Netflix, playing the character of Enola Holmes in the first movie named for her. It was a big success for the streaming service, and we already knew that a sequel was on the way.

At this year’s big TUDUM virtual event, Netflix offered the first full trailer for the new movie.

The first movie found Enola taking her first steps in her detective brothers’ path, using her genius intellect to figure out why her mother went missing and how it all ties into a conspiracy around a mysterious young lord.

Here’s the plot for this one… Fresh off the triumph of solving her first case, Enola Holmes (Brown) follows in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill), and opens her own agency — only to find that life as a female detective-for-hire isn’t as easy as it seems.

Not only are there the sexist bores who don’t believe a young woman can run such a business, there are all the customers who show up hoping that she can connect them with Sherlock.

Resigned to accepting the cold realities of adulthood, she is about to close shop when a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister.

But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world — from London’s sinister factories and colorful music halls to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself. Since the case appears to intersect with one that has been vexing her sibling.

As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends — and Sherlock himself — to unravel her mystery. The game, it seems, has found its feet again!

The cast this time includes the returning likes of Helena Bonham Carter, Louis Partridge (as Tewkesbury), Susan Wokoma (as Edith) and Adeel Akhtar (as Lestrade). New the ensemble are ‘Dune’s Sharon Duncan-Brewster and ‘Sandman’s David Thewlis, who, from the looks of the trailer is a police chief not all that pleased to learn of Enola’s new status as a detective.

Behind the camera is the same team as the 2020 movie – director Harry Bradbeer and writer Jack Thorne, once again adapting Springer’s ‘Enola Holmes’ book series. And, of course, some credit goes to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created the Sherlock Holmes characters from which ‘Enola’ draws its inspiration.

This sequel promises to be just as packed with action and comedy, with more of the to-camera asides from Enola as she makes her way through this latest adventure.

‘Enola Holmes 2’ will debut on Netflix on November 4th.
