From Hawkins to Victorian Mysteries: Why Enola Holmes Is the Perfect Post-Stranger Things Binge

As Stranger Things bids farewell with its epic final season—Volume 1 dropped November 26, 2025, Volume 2 on December 25, and the super-sized finale on December 31, 2025 (with a special New Year’s theatrical event into January 1, 2026)—fans are mourning the end of Hawkins’ supernatural saga. But Netflix has the ideal follow-up ready: the Enola Holmes franchise, starring Millie Bobby Brown as Sherlock’s brilliant, rebellious teenage sister. Trading Upside Down monsters for Victorian-era puzzles, Enola offers smart, empowering mysteries that capture the same addictive energy—proving Brown is just as captivating wielding wits as she was psychic powers.

The first two films—Enola Holmes (2020) and Enola Holmes 2 (2022)—are already streaming hits, blending adventure, humor, and feminist flair. Brown shines as Enola, a fiercely independent detective breaking fourth walls with witty asides, solving cases in a male-dominated world. Directed originally by Harry Bradbeer and based on Nancy Springer’s young adult novels, the series features Henry Cavill as a charming Sherlock, Helena Bonham Carter as the eccentric mother Eudoria, and Louis Partridge as the swoon-worthy Viscount Tewkesbury.

Why does it fill the Stranger Things void so perfectly? Both center on young heroes uncovering hidden truths amid danger—Eleven battling otherworldly threats, Enola exposing societal corruption. Brown’s performances anchor them: her vulnerability and strength as Eleven evolved over seasons; as Enola, she delivers quick-thinking action, martial arts flair, and heartfelt growth. Fans of the Hawkins gang’s friendships will love Enola’s bonds with Tewkesbury (romantic tension galore) and her brothers.

Exciting news: Enola Holmes 3 is officially in the works and wrapped filming in 2025! Announced in November 2024, with production starting April 2025 under new director Philip Barantini, it’s described as “darker and more mature.” The plot takes Enola to Malta for her “most tangled and treacherous” case yet, blending personal dreams with high-stakes detection. Returning cast includes Brown (also producer), Cavill as Sherlock, Bonham Carter as Eudoria, Partridge as Tewkesbury, Himesh Patel as Dr. Watson, and Sharon Duncan-Brewster in a key role. Jack Thorne pens the script again.

No exact release date yet, but following the two-year gap between the first two films, expect Enola Holmes 3 sometime in late 2026 on Netflix. Brown has teased more romance (fans demanded it after the slow-burn with Tewkesbury) and a “very different” Enola—older, wiser, facing bigger challenges.

If you’re grieving the end of Stranger Things, dive into Enola’s world: fast-paced cases, stunning period costumes, empowering themes, and Brown’s magnetic screen presence. It’s witty, adventurous, and utterly binge-worthy—the mystery obsession you didn’t know you needed. Start with the first two now; the third will be here before you know it. 👀✨
