Young Sherlock Showrunner Matthew Parkhill on Why the Series Doesn’t Adapt the Andrew Lane Books

Matthew ParkhillFrom Guy Ritchie, who also directed the two films based on the detective, comes Young Sherlock. This installment, which takes place in Victorian England, follows a younger, disgraced Sherlock Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin), who after meeting none other than James Moriarty (Dónal Finn), ends up entangled in a murder investigation that threatens his freedom.

While inspired by the Andrew Lane novel series of the same name, the Prime Video series is not a direct adaptation, according to showrunner Matthew Parkhill. “I was like, ‘Look, I kind of want to start in a different place,’ because Andy’s Sherlock is a sort of 14-year-old schoolboy,” he explained to SciFi Vision. “…[t]he things I was interested in exploring needed to start with him older and in a different place.”

The showrunner admitted that he worried about creating a series based around the Arthur Conan Doyle character given how popular it is. “I had to find a way to sort of give myself permission or a creative liberty.” He went on to say that they did not touch anything after Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet. “I want to honor the books, because I love the books, but because we're dealing with Sherlock in a different phase of his life, we had to come up with something that was different that will lead into the books but isn't the books,” said Parkhill. “That, that for me gave me a sense of freedom that allowed me to breathe and to have some fun and to play in rather than being governed too much by the terror.”
