The 13-year-old is about to become a household name.
Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown has already lined up her next huge role.
The Screen Actors Guild award nominee’s next gig involves producing and starring in a new film series based around Sherlock Holmes’ younger sister, Enola.
The series is based on The Enola Holmes Mysteries novels by Nancy Springer. Made up of six books, the works will be translated into a number of films, with Brown in the titular role.
Enola is 20 years her brother’s junior and ends up being an extremely capable detective in her own right.
The first book in the young-adult fiction series, The Case of the Missing Marquess, was produced back in 2006. The next five books, The Case of the Left-Handed Lady, The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets, The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan, The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline and The Case of the Gypsy Goodbye followed in the years 2007 – 2010.
The first and fifth books in Springer’s series were were nominated for the Edgar Awards for Best Juvenile Mystery in 2007 and 2010 respectively.
Enola Holmes will be a project for Legendary Entertainment, the media company who responsible for films such as Straight Outta Compton, Steve Jobs and The Hangover trilogy.
Both the Harry Potter series and the Enola Holmes books boast young, charismatic and highly-appealing heroes, and with Brown’s star only rising as time goes on, fan theories around this being the next Harry Potter make a whole lot of sense.
It’s understood that the teenage actress will begin shooting Stranger Things Season 3 before the Enola Holmes series, however, as the Netflix show’s third season is set for release sometime later this year.
