Tiffin is scheduled to play the lead role.

In the series, Sherlock Holmes will be reimagined as a character caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University that could threaten his freedom and leave him in disgrace.
He’ll dive into his initial case with little discipline and skills but still discover a global conspiracy that will alter his life forever.
“In Young Sherlock we’re going to see an exhilarating new version of the detective everyone thinks they know in a way they’ve never imagined before,” said Guy Ritchie. “We’re going to crack open this enigmatic character, find out what makes him tick, and learn how he becomes the genius we all love.”
How Many Episodes Will Young Sherlock Season 1 Have?
Young Sherlock Season 1 will have eight episodes as it begins the Sherlock Holmes origin story.
