00:00Moriarty just walked away with a nerve agent formula, and Sherlock has absolutely no idea.
00:05If that season 1 finale left you with more questions than answers, stay right here,
00:09because we are breaking down everything we know about Young Sherlock season 2.
00:13Quick spoiler warning, if you have not finished season 1 on Prime Video yet, bookmark this and come back later.
00:19Young Sherlock is Prime Video's origin story for fiction's greatest detective.
00:24The 8 episode first season follows a younger, still developing Sherlock Holmes to a murder conspiracy tied to a missing
00:32scroll,
00:32and ultimately to his own father, Silas, who has been pulling dangerous strings the entire time.
00:38The finale ends on a deliberately ambiguous note.
00:41Silas falls to his death, but do not take that at face value.
00:44Before he goes, he leaves Sherlock a mysterious key, and that key is almost certainly the central mystery driving season
00:522.
00:52Meanwhile, Moriarty escapes with the nerve agent formula, and we learn he is secretly allied with Beatrice.
00:59Sherlock suspects nothing, yet.
01:01So, where does season 2 go?
01:03Sherlock tracking down what that key unlocks is the most obvious thread.
01:08Alongside that, expect a fresh murder mystery and deeper world building.
01:13The show draws from Andrew Lane's 8 book novel series, and season 1 barely scratched the surface.
01:20Add in Arthur Conan Doyle's wider universe.
01:23Characters like Irene Adler and Sebastian Moran are still waiting, and the writers have plenty of material.
01:29We may also finally meet the Irregulars, Sherlock's street informant network.
01:33On the cast front, Hero finds Tiffin returns as Sherlock.
01:37Donald Finn is back as Moriarty.
01:39Max Irons reprises Mycroft.
01:41And Holly Cattle returns as Beatrice.
01:44Scott Reed's Constable Estrada is expected to get significantly more screen time.
01:48Joseph finds Silas is officially dead, but given that finale, do not count him out completely.
01:54The real heart of season 2 will be the Sherlock and Moriarty dynamic.
01:58This show does something no other adaptation has.
02:01It gives them a genuine friendship first.
02:03By the finale, the cracks are already showing.
02:06Moriarty has had his first taste of power, and he wants more.
02:10Season 2 will push that relationship closer to the breaking point we always knew was coming.
02:16As for release date, Prime Video has not officially renewed the show yet,
02:19but given the IP's popularity, a green light seems likely.
02:23If it happens, expect it sometime around 2028.
