Released on Netflix, this sequel follows Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) as she opens her own detective agency and takes on her first official case: finding a missing girl amidst a dangerous conspiracy in industrial London. Review: Enola Holmes 2

Her performance remains the heart of the film. She balances Enola’s brilliant intellect with her relatable social awkwardness and teenage vulnerability perfectly.

Unlike the first film, which felt like two competing stories, the sequel centers on the "Matchgirls' Strike" of 1888. It's a compelling, real-world historical hook that gives the stakes more weight.

While David Thewlis is a great villain, some supporting characters from the first film feel slightly sidelined to make room for the new mystery.

Enola Holmes 2 is that rare sequel that manages to be bigger, smarter, and more charming than the original. It successfully transitions from a "coming-of-age" story into a genuine Victorian mystery while maintaining the playful, fourth-wall-breaking energy that makes this version of the Holmes universe unique.

If you enjoyed the first film, you’ll likely find the sequel even better. It’s a fun, fast-paced, and empowering adventure that works for both younger audiences and longtime Sherlock fans looking for a fresh perspective on the mythos.
