Even though there’s no word on the long-in-development Sherlock Holmes 3, director Guy Ritchie made the best use of his clout as a television hit-maker by giving fans the next best thing. Ritchie’s Young Sherlock series, which debuted on Prime Video earlier this year, has served as a reminder of how popular the iconic British detective remains. Who knows? It might even convince the powers that be to stop dilly-dallying on the third installment of the big-screen franchise. The movie has been stuck in development hell for over a decade, during which star Robert Downey Jr. has gone on to become one of the highest-paid actors in the world and an Oscar winner. Young Sherlock, on the other hand, follows the titular character as a university student and has more in common with Netflix’s Enola Holmes film series than with the Downey movies.
Netflix has produced two Enola Holmes films so far, with Millie Bobby Brown in the lead role and Henry Cavill as her adult brother, Sherlock. A third installment will be released this year. Alongside a robust career as a feature filmmaker, Ritchie has also established himself as a force in streaming television with Netflix’s The Gentlemen and the Paramount+ series MobLand. Both shows are set to return for a second season, and it was recently announced that Prime Video is going ahead with a new season of Young Sherlock as well.

Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.

Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.

Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
