The news was announced on the streamer's official social media accounts, along with a picture of returning stars Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge behind the scenes.

They will be back in the new film as Enola and Tewkesbury respectively, while Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter and Sharon Duncan-Brewster will also be back as Sherlock, Eudoria and Moriarty.

Himesh Patel will also be returning in what is likely an expanded role, after he was revealed to be playing Dr John Watson in the mid-credits scene of the last film.

According to Tudum, the new instalment sees the young detective tackling a new case in Malta, while also moving into the next stages of her relationship with Tewkesbury.
