Enola Holmes 3 Debuts on Netflix as Malta-set Mystery That Widens the Franchise

The new film shifts the series’ setting and tone and raises questions about empire and Enola’s future while drawing strong streaming numbers.

Overview

  • The third Enola Holmes film is now streaming on Netflix with Millie Bobby Brown returning to the title role alongside Henry Cavill and Louis Partridge.
  • The story moves the action to Malta and frames the central conflict around Enola’s wedding plans and a personal investigation tied to British-era thefts connected to Afghanistan.
  • The film reintroduces a longstanding franchise antagonist under a new identity, a creative choice tied to a darker, more action-driven approach from director Philip Barantini and writer Jack Thorne.
  • Early audience metrics show the movie at the top of Netflix charts according to FlixPatrol, even as critics and viewers rate it notably lower on Rotten Tomatoes than the first two entries.
  • Coverage notes the film’s tonal shift and denser plotting as reasons for mixed reviews and highlights a closing image that leaves open the possibility of another sequel.
