Guy Ritchie, who is mostly renowned for his signature hyper-stylized action comedies, has given us the most iconic Sherlock Holmes movies featuring Robert Downey Jr. in the titular role. After two movies, the franchise went into hibernation for almost fifteen years until he brought the beloved detective back, but this time in a longer format with a focus on his younger days. Young Sherlock, which released on Amazon Prime on March 4, ruled the Global Charts of the platform for a few months, and this triggered the streamer to immediately renew the series for a season 2.

Now, updates on the development of Young Sherlock season 2 have been officially released to keep the hype around the Guy Ritchie thriller alive.

A new creative addition behind the camera was also disclosed in the most recent production update. The second episode of the season will be directed by Colm McCarthy. After working on season 1, cinematographer Mark Patten is also making a comeback.
