“We Got This Covered” revealed that very reliable insiders of Hollywood claim that Netflix believes that the Enola Holmes brand has the potential to attain same levels of fame and visibility as Twilight.
Well, they are films of completely different genre, One is a fantasy romance drama franchise revolving around vampires that sparkle in the sun and the other is based on famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes‘s kid sister. The intelligent sister, like his brother, solves mysteries using the power of deduction. On the surface, there’s not a lot of direct connective tissue between the two.
Enola Holmes, despite being sued for making Sherlock emotional, has actually brought the property roaring back to life. If Netflix sticks with its plans for five more films, they might become gigantic like Twilight. Till then, fans are eagerly waiting for the next of Millie Bobby Brown in Godzilla vs Kong and Stranger Things season 4.
