Watch with the kids: Millie Bobby Brown is Enola Holmes in new Netflix film

Melissa Carton

One to put on the ‘to-watch’ list.

If you’re looking for something new for you and the kids to watch this September I definitely suggest adding this to the list.

New Netflix film Enola Holmes not only has a star studded cast including Millie Bobbie Brown of Stranger Things fame and Helena Bonham Carter but the plot also looks amazing.

You can take a gander at the trailer below.

The film takes place in England, 1884 where on the morning of her 16th birthday, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) wakes to find that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) has disappeared, leaving behind an odd assortment of gifts but no apparent clue as to where she’s gone or why.

After a free-spirited childhood, Enola suddenly finds herself under the care of her brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin), both set on sending her away to a finishing school for “proper” young ladies.

Refusing to follow their wishes, Enola escapes to search for her mother in London. But when her journey finds her entangled in a mystery surrounding a young runaway Lord (Louis Partridge), Enola becomes a super-sleuth in her own right, outwitting her famous brother as she unravels a conspiracy that threatens to set back the course of history.

Based on the beloved book series by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes is a dynamic new mystery-adventure that introduces the world’s greatest detective to his fiercest competition yet: his teenage sister.

The game is afoot.

Enola Holmes arrives on Netflix September 23.
