Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock has secured a second season at Prime Video.
All eight episodes of season one are available across the Prime Video global footprint. In its first 28 days, the show has landed 45 million viewers, reaching number one on the platform in more than 95 markets. Per Prime Video, 63% of the audience came from outside the U.S., led b the U.K., India, and Germany.
Ritchie will return to direct the first episode of season two and serve as EP. It was created for television and executive-produced by showrunner Matthew Parkhill, with Motive Pictures leading physical production.
“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 at 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 two.”
