Season 2 of "Young Sherlock" is afoot as Prime Video has confirmed a Season 2 order. Guy Ritchie, who will be an executive on Season 2, will return to direct the first episode of the upcoming season.

The Sherlock Holmes origin story has been a big hit for Prime Video, topping its charts in 95 countries and hitting the 45M viewer mark. It is one of Prime Video’s top 10 Originals ever.



“Young Sherlock has that rare magic — millions of fans around the world aren’t just watching a detective story, they’re falling in love with the origin of an icon,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios.

“Guy Ritchie and Matthew Parkhill have cracked the code on making Sherlock’s early years feel fresh, dangerous, and utterly addictive, and have introduced a compelling take on James Moriarty that sets the stage for what’s to come. We can’t wait to see where they take him next in Season 2.”
