Who is Quint without his Bruce? Bond without his Blofeld? Who is Sherlock Holmes without his Moriarty? Everyone needs a nemesis, and now Holmes has one for Guy Ritchie’s new Young Sherlock Holmes series at Amazon.

Irish actor Dónal Finn (The Witcher, Fantastic Beasts: Secrets Of Dumbledore) will play the foil to Holmes, his enduring enemy James Moriarty.

Hero Fiennes Tiffin (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) plays Holmes and the story is said to be inspired by Andy Lane’s novels. There are eight books in his series that sets Holmes as a teenager in the 1860s and 70s who is faced with numerous mysteries, crimes, and adventures over the series of books.

The Sherlock Holmes of the books is scientific and analytical on the one hand, but artistic and moody on the other. The stories start unformed, but you can see him developing into Conan Doyle’s character as the adventures progress.

According to the blurb for the Amazon show, as a 19-year-old at Oxford University, Sherlock Holmes is not yet the master detective he grows up to be. He is raw and unfiltered, and he lacks discipline. A murder at Oxford puts Holmes’s freedom at risk, and he sets out to solve his first murder mystery that leads him to a global-level conspiracy.

Joseph Fiennes, Natascha McElhone, Colin Firth, and Zine Tseng co-star while Matthew Parkhill serves as the writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Ritchie directs and executive produces.
