And, of course, Ritchie is set to direct the season’s premiere—can’t wait to see how he spices it up!
As Peter Friedlander, head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, aptly put it, “Young Sherlock has that rare magic…” Who doesn’t love a good mystery intertwined with a touch of nostalgia? With 45 million viewers tuning in during its first month, it’s safe to say that audiences worldwide are absolutely living for this brilliance. You might even start to suspect that the planets are favoring this beloved prequel. So, what stellar surprises await us next? Buckle in, because it looks like the game’s afoot for quite a while longer! LEARN MORE.
Fans of the new Young Sherlock prequel series from Guy Ritchie, rejoice! The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Prime Video has ordered a season 2 renewal of the series. Ritchie, who developed the show with Matthew Parkhill, executive produces the streaming series and directed the first two episodes. Now that the prequel is due to come back for another year, Ritchie is also set to direct the season 2 premiere.
Peter Friedlander, the head of global television for Amazon MGM Studios, made the statement, “Young Sherlock has that rare magic — millions of fans around the world aren’t just watching a detective story, they’re falling in love with the origin of an icon. Guy Ritchie and Matthew Parkhill have cracked the code on making Sherlock’s early years feel fresh, dangerous, and utterly addictive, and have introduced a compelling take on James Moriarty that sets the stage for what’s to come. We can’t wait to see where they take him next in season two.”
Young Sherlock season one made it to the top 10 for any season of an original series on Prime Video. According to the streamer, 45 million people worldwide tuned-in to at least a few minutes of the show in its first four weeks. 63 percent of the viewers were said to come from outside the US, with a large portion of the audience being from the UK, India and Germany. Meanwhile, in the US, the series had logged 678 million minutes of viewing in its premiere week, according to Nielsen, but then it slipped out of the top 10 original streaming series after that.
Our Alex Maidy had a blast with the first season. In his 8/10 review, he said, “In some ways, Young Sherlock feels like the Holmesian equivalent of the Star Wars prequels, showcasing a hero and a villain we previously only knew as one another’s nemesis. Taking things back to the origin of both Sherlock and Moriarty and centering on a relationship that rivals that of Holmes and Watson was a bold choice that works very well. I had a blast with this series that shifts from a kinetic Guy Ritchie project into a love letter and homage to the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, while keeping the period feel of Victorian England at its core, and modernizing the pulse with a modern flair. With a solid decade of space between where we find the character in this first season and when he finally comes into his own, the game is afoot for Young Sherlock to give us lots of mysterious adventures for seasons to come.”
