The streaming service Netflix has been thriving as many are stuck at home due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with its stock value skyrocketing earlier this month to even surpass the Walt Disney Company. Yesterday entertainment news site Variety reported that the service has acquired the rights to a film called Enola Holmes starring Stranger Things’ Millie Bobbie Brown and The Witcher’s Henry Cavill.
Based on a book by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes will feature Brown as the younger sister of Cavill’s Sherlock Holmes. The project is being produced by Legendary Entertainment and will be released through Netflix everywhere but China.
The 80s-throwback sci-fi series Stranger Things has long been a hit for the streaming service, and The Witcher made huge waves online at the end of 2019 — to the point that people are still referencing it in games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons. To bring the stars of those two series together seems like a sure-fire win for Netflix, assuming its production goes well.
Arguably one of the big reasons for Netflix’s recent success is the documentary series Tiger King, which has broken a number of records for the service since its release.
