Enola Holmes is a mystery crime British movie released on September 23, 2020, on Netflix. Directed by Harry Bradbeer, it is based on the young adult fiction novel with the title The Enola Holmes Mysteries: The Case of the Missing Marquess by Nancy Springer.
The first movie gained a very positive review from critics and audiences, thanks to its story as well as Millie Bobby Brown’s performance in the film. It also became one of the most watched original Netflix movies, with approximately 76 million households watch it over the first four weeks of its release.
