Helena Bonham Carter will be joining Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill in the new sequel to Netflix's popular mystery film, Enola Holmes, which was greenlit back in May. Bonham Carter will reprise her original role, where she portrayed Eudoria Holmes, the mother of Enola, played by Brown.

Enola Holmes was a massive hit upon being released in 2020, telling the story of young Enola, the rebellious and quick-witted sibling of famous detective Sherlock Holmes, whom Cavill plays. Audiences and critics widely praised the film for its clever storytelling, and it was reported that 76 million users tuned into the movie during its first 28 days on the streamer.

Also joining the cast for the sequel will be Susan Wokoma, David Thewlis, Adeel Akhtar, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Abbie Hern, Hannah Dodd, Gabriel Tierney, Serrana Su-Ling Bliss, and Louis Partridge will return as love interest Tewksbury.
