Meet the cast of Enola Holmes 2
Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter all reprise their roles.
Millie Bobby Brown is back on our screens as our favourite fourth-wall-breaking heroine in Netflix's Enola Holmes 2.
The story follows Sherlock Holmes's younger sister Enola (Brown) as she goes to great lengths to follow in her brother's footsteps and establish herself as a detective.
Enola Holmes 2 sees Enola open her own detective agency, with her first case being to find a young girl's missing sister.
It's no surprise that Brown is back for the sequel, having told EW last year that she "fell in love" with the character.
"I was like, 'Oh, yeah, I’ll just do one movie, like, obviously…' and then as soon as I went on set and I played [Enola], I fell in love with her, and she became part of my heart," she said.
"Ultimately, this has been my favorite thing that I’ve ever done in my life. So to do it all over again would be a dream."
Having said that, filming Enola Holmes 2 didn’t run that smoothly, with Brown recently revealing that the fourth wall breaks in Enola Holmes 2 caused her to have nightmares about bringing the habit to the final season of Stranger Things.
At a Q&A during the film's premiere in New York, Brown said (via Today): "While filming, I had a dream that I was on the set of Stranger Things, and I couldn't stop looking at the camera.
"And now, I have this deep-rooted fear that now I will never stop looking at the camera. So now, I'm so obsessed with it."
Alongside Brown, Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter, Louis Partridge, Susan Wokoma and Adeel Akhtar all reprise their roles from the first film, but who else stars in the sequel and what have they been in before?
