It feels like it has been forever since we’ve watched Max Irons in something. His Dad, we have seen in a lot, but Max, we’ve failed. So we are excited to hear that he has been cast in something that we has already planned on watching.
Max has been cast in Young Sherlock, playing Mycroft Holmes. Mycroft is the older brother of Sherlock Holmes, who will be played by Hero Fiennes-Tiffin. Some of us will be fawning over the older brother and some of us over the younger.
Young Sherlock is based on/inspired by Andy Lane’s book series. The series is described, “as an irreverent, action-packed origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective in a re-imagining of this iconic character. At age 19, Sherlock Holmes (Fiennes Tiffin) is disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and unformed, when he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University which threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.”
In addition to Fiennes-Tiffin and Irons, also cast in the show is Dónal Finn, Joseph Fiennes, Natascha McElhone, Zine Tseng and Colin Firth. No word on when it is coming out, but we tell you it is one of the reasons why we are keeping our Prime Video subscription.
