Now that life in the Upside Down is over, Mille Bobby Brown is heading back to the Victorian era. To ring in the new year, Netflix has released more information about its upcoming movie slate for 2026, starting with a first look at Enola Holmes 3.
The third instalment of the mystery film series is set to premiere this summer, with Brown reprising her role as the titular sister to Sherlock Holmes, played again by Henry Cavill (Man of Steel). This time, the character finds herself in Malta with Louis Partridge’s Tewkesbury, where her “personal and professional dreams collide in a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before.”
Joining the trio in the returning cast are Helena Bonham-Carter (Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Eudoria Holmes, the matriarch of the Holmes family, Himesh Patel (Yesterday, Tenet) as Dr Watson, and Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Intergalactic) as Mira Troy. Philip Barantini, known for his one-shot works such as Vertigo Films’ Boiling Point and the hit miniseries Adolescence, is directing Enola Holmes 3, while Jack Thorne serves as scriptwriter.
Next on the list is the feature film finale to Heartstopper, the queer youth romance comedy based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novel series. Slated for release sometime this year, it pits Nick and Charlie, portrayed by Joe Locke (Agatha All Along) and Kit Connor (His Dark Materials), respectively, against the struggles that come with long-distance relationships and the end of adolescence.
“Nick and Charlie are inseparable, but with Nick preparing to leave for university and Charlie finding new independence at school, the reality of a long-distance relationship begins to weigh on them. Doubts take hold, and their relationship faces its biggest challenge yet,” reads the official logline.
“Meanwhile, their friends are also navigating the ups and downs of love and friendship, confronting the bittersweet challenges of growing up and moving on. Can first loves really last forever?”
As for fans of Peaky Blinders, its highly anticipated big-screen outing, The Immortal Man, will hit select theatres on 6 March, before arriving on Netflix on 20 March. In it, Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby is forced to step out of retirement and into the throes of war, where he must “face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground.”
Other highlighted projects include Terry Perry’s Joe’s College Road Trip, bowing on 13 February, and a sequel to Why Did I Get Married and The Gospel of Christmas; War Machine, starring Alan Ritchson (Reacher), Dennis Quaid (Reagan), Stephan James (Homecoming), and Jai Courtney (I, Frankenstein), and dropping on 6 March; and Remarkably Bright Creatures, following an unlikely relationship between a widow and an octopus when it premieres on 8 May.
Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth’s theme on her Spotify playlist can get. A fan of movies, games, and Japanese culture, Si Jia’s greatest weakness is the Steam Summer Sale. Or any Steam sale, really.
