Sherlock’s father is a scientist, explorer and self-made businessman, while his mum is described as a devoted mother, artist and matriarch of the Holmes clan.

, when he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University that threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.
Ritchie is set to direct and executive produce the eight-episode series, which will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Along with the Zaghari-Ratcliffe project, Fiennes is also leading Dear England, the BBC’s TV version of the stage play about the England soccer team in which he plays manager Gareth Southgate. McElhone recently starred as Dr. Catherine Halsey in the Paramount+ series Halo and as Bella Ainsworth in Hotel Portofino.
