New Sherlock Holmes TV Adaptation in the Works at Harry King Television
Harry King Television is developing a new Sherlock Holmes series based on Jonathan Sercombe's book The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Harry King Television is preparing a new television adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, drawing from Jonathan Sercombe's book The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The project was announced by the production company.
The creative team includes writers Tim John and Michael Ryan, with David Lipman serving as producer. The series will blend season-long narrative arcs with standalone episodes based on original cases from Arthur Conan Doyle's works.
The announcement arrives amid a busy period for Sherlock Holmes on screen. CBS's Watson ran for two seasons, while Sherlock & Daughter was short-lived. Prime Video's Young Sherlock was recently renewed, and Netflix's Enola Holmes franchise was a blockbuster.
Other recent takes on the character include Benedict Cumberbatch's starring role in the BBC's Sherlock and Guy Ritchie's stylized feature films starring Robert Downey Jr. Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Holmes body of work was published between 1887 and 1927.
Further details about the new adaptation, including casting and a premiere date, have not been announced.
