Guy Ritchie has had some smash hits and some massive misfires so far in 2026, but one of his most successful projects of the year has found unprecedented longevity on streaming. Ritchie returned to movie theaters for the first time in two years with In The Grey, which stars Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal. Despite their combined star power, In The Grey struggled to get off the ground at the box office, but the film has found redemption on Starz as one of the most-watched movies in the world right now. Ritchie is also back to dominating Paramount Plus thanks to the return of his crime thriller show, MobLand, which stars Tom Hardy. The show is already confirmed to return for Season 3 as well — a nice gift to fans and further reason to invest in Season 2.
While In The Grey may not have been as successful as Ritchie was hoping, he did find success with his first project of the year, Young Sherlock. Ritchie wrote and produced all eight episodes in the first season of the Prime Video original series, and despite all episodes being dropped as a binge back in March, the show spent weeks at the top of streaming charts. This prompted Amazon to announce that Young Sherlock had been renewed for Season 2, and with production on the second season kicking off earlier in the year, it’s all but assured that the show will return to streaming sometime in 2027. Before its return, Young Sherlock is once again gaining steam on Prime Video streaming charts, where it’s back in the top 10 in a handful of countries around the world.
What Is ‘Young Sherlock’ About?
Prime Video’s official synopsis for Young Sherlock, which holds marks of 84% from critics and 83% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: “As a 19-year-old at Oxford University, Sherlock Holmes is not yet the master detective he grows up to be. He is raw and unfiltered, and he lacks discipline. A murder at Oxford puts Holmes’s freedom at risk, and he sets out to solve his first murder mystery that leads him to a global-level conspiracy.” Young Sherlock stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin as Sherlock Holmes, Donál Finn as James Moriarty, Natascha McElhone as Cordelian Holmes, and Max Irons as Mycroft Holmes.
