00:04The streamer is an early development of not one, but two scripted series based on the beloved detective stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with Robert Downey Jr. on board.
00:13Downey Jr. famously played the detective in the 2009 Guy Ritchie feature film and its 2011 sequel and is set to executive produce both shows.
00:22A third movie in the franchise was also in development, but never moved beyond that stage.
00:27It's unclear if Downey will reprise his role as Sherlock for the series, as both projects are still in early development.
00:33Other details, including the premise and how interconnected both potential shows could be, are being kept under wraps.
00:40Sherlock Holmes holds the world record for the most portrayed literary character in film and TV history, with more than 75 actors stepping into the role.
00:48Most recently, Johnny Lee Miller took on the part in CBS's Elementary.
00:52Elsewhere, Downey remains under an overall deal with HBO and produces the Premium Cable Network's Perry Mason update.
