If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

Additional recent reporting from The Knowledge and the Hull Live has revealed that filming on the sequel is set to occur outside of a production facility on Hull’s high street in the first week of October.
The Knowledge states that “Enola Holmes 2 is using a major south-east studio as its production base” which is expected to be Shepperton Studios, UK. Hull Live reports that the high street in Hull, UK will be “transformed into Victorian London” on October 5th and 6th. They also report that locals may get the chance to appear too saying “The production company have also said that they are recruiting for extras to appear as passers-by dressed in Victorian dress to appear in the film, and will be putting up ads for recruitment soon.”
Filming for the sequel is also reportedly taking place in London just like the first movie again.
On November 28th, Henry Cavill posted on Instagram that he had concluded filming his parts on the upcoming sequel.
What to expect from Enola Holmes 2?
The first movie capped off with the Holmes family reuniting (somewhat) and Enola looking into the camera stating that she needs to find her own path moving forwards.
Speaking to Decider, Bradbeer said there is lots to expect from family tensions too saying “If we do go again, there’s a lot of issues left in this dysfunctional family. Not only in the country, which is dysfunctional but the family as well.”
As to what mystery will be in the sequel is not yet known. There are lots of stories in the book series to adapt. Using the logical order, we could expect the next movie to cover The Case of the Left-Handed Lady which saw Enola trying to find Lady Cecily Allistair.
We’d love, however, for them to adapt The Case of the Left-Handed Lady which sees Enola looking for Sherlock’s companion, Dr. John Watson.
We’ll keep this updated over time with all the new Enola Holmes 2 news but let us know in the comments if you’re excited about the sequel.
