Sherlock & Daughter
Sherlock & Daughter is an American mystery television series created by Brendan Foley, with showrunner James Duff based on the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The series premiered on April 16, 2025, on The CW and Discovery+.
In 1896, Sherlock Holmes becomes embroiled in a malevolent conspiracy involving the Red Thread criminal syndicate, who have kidnapped his closest friends. He joins forces with Amelia Rojas, a young Native American woman whose mother was recently murdered. As they work together to crack the case, Amelia also sets out to learn if the great detective is her long-lost father.
The series was announced in February 2024, along with the casting of Thewlis, Hunt and Scott. The series was created by Brendan Foley, who acts as executive producer alongside showrunner James Duff. Micah Wright, Shelly Goldstein, and Foley provided the scripts. Filming took place in Dublin in April 2024, with North Great George's Street being used for exterior shooting. Filming also occurred in County Wicklow. Production wrapped in June. The series consists of eight episodes, all directed by Bryn Higgins.
The series premiered on April 16, 2025 on The CW in the US and Discovery+ in the UK and Ireland. Internationally, the series is broadcast by Yle and Amedia in Finland, NRK in Norway, DR in Denmark, SVT in Sweden, Amediateka in Russia, RÚV in Iceland, and SBS in Australia. Federation International in July 2025 helped negotiate the sale of the show to Sky Italia in Italy, Bell Media in Canada, RTS in Switzerland, Nova in Greece, Disney Entertainment in the Balkans, Tivibu in Turkey and TV3 Group in the Baltics.
The series opened to generally positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 75%. MediaPost stated: "The great David Thewlis mesmerizes in the Role of Sherlock Holmes. This show is a high-quality, well-made adventure and mystery series – two words that add up to one word: Entertainment." The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "Thewlis is a perfect fit" in an otherwise "modestly amusing" series with possible future potential. It singled out Dougray Scott for his "theatrical physicality" as Professor Moriarty. The A.V. Club thought the show "successfully intertwined mystery with melodrama", while TV Guide also praised Thewlis as "perfectly cast" alongside Blu Hunt as Sherlock's possible daughter, and highlighted supporting performances by Dougray Scott and Fiona Glascott. RogerEbert.com praised Hunt's performance, but criticised the writing of the show.
The first season of Sherlock & Daughter became the most-watched season on The CW broadcast network in the US, the second-most watched on The CW streaming app and the fourth-most watched on the Max streaming service following its release. The following are the viewership ratings for the first season's broadcast on The CW in the US.
