Young Sherlock OTT Release Date
Young Sherlock is set to premiere on OTT on Wednesday, 4 March 2026, with all eight episodes dropping together on the same day.
On X, the account @LifeIsAFilmFest shared that Guy Ritchie’s series Young Sherlock will arrive on Prime Video on March 4, featuring a cast led by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Zine Tseng, Joseph Fiennes, Natascha McElhone, Dónal Finn, Max Irons, and Colin Firth, along with a new trailer.
The series is being positioned as a global launch, so viewers in India and other regions will get access on the same date without a long wait, which is a relief for anyone tired of staggered releases.
For fans of mystery shows, that date is already being marked as the moment a new version of Sherlock Holmes officially steps into the streaming era, not as the classic pipe‑smoking detective, but as a 19‑year‑old still figuring life out.
When and Where to Watch Young Sherlock
Young Sherlock will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, with the full first season available to binge from 4 March 2026 in India and more than 240 countries and territories.
Viewers just need an active Prime Video subscription, and in India it will go live with the usual regional catalogue, so it should appear in the main homepage carousel alongside other new releases rather than hiding in some hard‑to‑find corner.
Many platforms follow a midnight or early‑morning local time drop; trade coverage notes it as a standard global Prime launch, so Indian viewers can reasonably expect it to be available on 4 March itself, similar to other Prime Originals that quietly appear before most people even finish breakfast.
Episode schedule for Young Sherlock
Young Sherlock Season 1 will have eight episodes, and all eight are scheduled to arrive together on 4 March 2026. There is no weekly release pattern here, so the “episode schedule” is simple: one global drop date, then viewers can watch at their own pace.
This kind of release often leads to quick fan theories and social media buzz over a single week, as people race each other to the finale and start dissecting clues from the very first scenes.
Cast of Young Sherlock
Young Sherlock brings together a mix of familiar film names and fresh faces in key roles. The main cast includes:
-
Hero Fiennes Tiffin as young Sherlock Holmes – a raw, impulsive, 19‑year‑old version of the detective.
-
Joseph Fiennes in a major supporting role, adding some veteran weight to the ensemble.
-
Natascha McElhone as Sherlock’s mother, seen guiding him as he heads to Oxford and warning him to stay out of trouble.
-
Dónal Finn as James Mori, who surprisingly starts out as an ally before turning into the classic adversary.
-
Max Irons in a key role connected to the larger conspiracy around the murder case.
-
Zine Tseng and Colin Firth in important supporting parts that deepen the Oxford and high‑society world around Sherlock.
The casting clearly leans into a “prestige drama” feel, which should appeal to viewers who enjoy character‑driven British thrillers as much as big mystery hooks.
About Young Sherlock
Young Sherlock is a British mystery series that follows Sherlock Holmes in his late teens at Oxford University, long before he becomes the famous Baker Street detective.
The story begins with a disgraced, restless Sherlock being caught up in a murder case that directly threatens his freedom, and as he tries to clear his name, he stumbles into a globe‑spanning conspiracy that stretches far beyond the university campus.
The show is directed and executive‑produced by Guy Ritchie and is inspired by Andrew Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes novels, blending an action‑packed origin story with classic investigative elements.
Viewers can expect 1870s settings, explosions, gunfights, and early hints of the traits that later define Sherlock sharp observation, deduction, and a tendency to run toward danger rather than away from it.
For anyone who enjoys seeing how iconic characters are shaped by their first big mistakes and victories, this series aims to show Sherlock before the legend, when the “world’s greatest detective” is still just a brilliant teenager trying not to ruin his own life.
