5 Series To Watch If You Liked Young Sherlock

If you’ve recently binged Amazon Prime’s Young Sherlock (2026), you’re likely craving more of Guy Ritchie’s signature high-octane energy and the unpolished brilliance of a teenage sleuth. Seeing Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s raw, 19-year-old Sherlock navigate the hallowed halls of Oxford and the gritty streets of the 1870s has breathed new life into the Holmesian mythos. Whether you’re drawn to the rebellious origin stories, the witty period-piece banter, or the complex mental puzzles that define the genre, there are several fantastic series that capture that same "detective in the making" spirit.

 5 Series Like Young Sherlock You Need To Watch

1. Enola Holmes (Netflix)

While technically a film series, its episodic nature and shared DNA with Young Sherlock make it an essential watch. Starring Millie Bobby Brown as Sherlock’s younger sister, it captures that same 19th-century rebellious spirit. Like her brother, Enola is a master of disguise and deduction, often outsmarting her famous siblings while navigating a world that underestimates her.

2. Wednesday (Netflix)

If you enjoyed the "campus mystery" vibes of Sherlock at Oxford,Wednesday is its supernatural cousin. It features a brilliant, anti-social teen protagonist forced to solve a series of grizzly murders at Nevermore Academy. The sharp-tongued wit and "outcast" energy mirror Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s portrayal of a young, defiant Holmes.

3. The Irregulars (Netflix)

This series offers a grittier, darker look at the Holmesian universe. It follows a gang of troubled street teens in Victorian London who solve supernatural crimes for Dr. Watson and a shadowy Sherlock Holmes. It’s perfect for those who liked the "team" dynamic and the more visceral, action-oriented direction of Guy Ritchie’s adaptation.

4. Murdaugh: Death in the Family (Hulu/Disney+)

For fans of the "family conspiracy" and "father-son betrayal" themes seen in Young Sherlock, this 2025/2026 true-crime dramatization is a gripping alternative. It explores the unravelling of a powerful dynasty through the eyes of investigators, highlighting how secrets can destroy a legacy from the inside out.

5. Seven Dials Mystery (Netflix)

A 2026 Agatha Christie adaptation, this series features the lively "Bundle" Brent, a young socialite who stumbles into a maze of secret codes and shadowy organisations. It shares the same "adventure-mystery" tone as Young Sherlock.
